Beyonce is well known for her show-stopping costumes, having stepped into the limelight wearing next to nothing in her sexy leotards or overly embellished pieces.And, it looks like the singer is set to impress once again in her next project.
As the boss of British brand, House of Borgezie, has revealed that they have sold the beauty a pair of bejewelled Princess Constellation heels that she will wear in her upcoming video.
The stilettos were sculpted in a boiling furnace by skilled jewellers before they were encrusted with 1,290 sparkling diamonds which weigh in at 65.60 carats.
They were inspired by the Paul Simon hit 'Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes' and has set Beyonce back an eye-watering £200,000.
Chris, who has been in the jewellery business for over 22 years, flew over to Los Angeles to meet the singer a few months ago and spent FOUR hours measuring her feet.
He added: "The word had gone around and I had a call from her people a couple of months ago.
"I went to America and spent four hours measuring her feet. It has to be down to the millimetre, once they are done there is no going back.
"She was really down to earth and really lovely and was very happy with the shoes.
"Beyonces just one of those fantasy customers.
"If you want someone to model your creations, you cant get any better than Beyonce.
"Ive been told the stilettos are for her next video which should be out in the autumn."
Chris, from Eccleshall, Staffs, launched his Constellation collection last May and two pairs have been sold with one going to a mystery buyer who lives in Dubai.
The shoes come with a lifetime guarantee and purchasers have their feet moulded in plaster of Paris.
He added: "They are the crown jewels of stilettos. They're a bit like the 1960s E Type Jag - it doesn't matter what you do, youre not going to improve on them.
"Occasionally in a designer or artists life there may come a moment in time when you stand back and realise you may just have created your finest work so far. I think this is truly that moment.
"Like any royal crown, the Princess Constellation will still be here in a thousand years time.
"Obviously I have sold shoes to people in Dubai who have so much money but Beyonce is the biggest public figure I have ever sold anything to."
* In July last year, Chris Shellis created the worlds most expensive clutch bag which costs a wallet-busting £105,000.
The du palais clutch bag, which measures 7in (17cm) by 5in (12cm) and weighs 542g, is crammed with 345 diamonds and 18ct gold clasps.
It took a dedicated team of goldsmiths and diamond setters more than 100 hours to create the bag, which comes with a secret compartment big enough for an iPhone.
