Arresting sight: Beyonce checks out high heels as she shops in Selfridges' shoe department in London's Oxford Street


A-list superstars are known to demand a store is shut off from the public so they can shop in private.

But millionaire singer Beyonce showed how down-to-earth she is as she popped into London's iconic department store Selfridges for a quick browse this afternoon.

Accompanied by her mother Tina Knowles and an entourage of minders, the 29-year-old headed straight for her favourite department - ladies' shoes.
