Beyoncé was seen for the first time since the “skin bleaching” allegations as she went to dinner with husband Jay-Z, Tom Cruise and Henry Cavill on Wednesday.
The 42-year-old singer tried to remain incognito as she entered London’s private club Oswald’s, which charges an annual fee of £2,500, with her A-list friends.
She wore a white hood that only partially covered her recently bleached blonde hair and dark sunglasses.
The megastar wore white pants, a suit jacket and boots and completed her look with a mink coat, while her musician husband Jay-Z, 53, wore black track pants, sneakers and a large coat.
Tom Cruise (61) with floppy hair and Henry Cavill (40) both wore dark suits, to which Henry added a colorful checked tie for good measure.

The outing comes two days after Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, responded angrily to online critics who accused her daughter of lightening her skin in an Instagram video posted on Tuesday.
Tina, 69, responded after some commenters on social media complained that the superstar appeared to have lighter skin and also a platinum blonde wig in a photo taken of her performance at the Renaissance concert film premiere on Saturday wore.
Some had suggested that the hitmaker was “white now,” while others complained that “she’s not a black woman!”
“I’m tired of people attacking her,” Knowles wrote in a lengthy caption to the video, in which she dismissed commenters’ concerns.
“I came across this today and decided to post it after seeing all the stupid, ignorant, self-hating racist statements about her lightening her skin and wearing platinum blonde hair that wanted to be white,” Knowles began with her long caption.
She explained that Beyoncé’s look was purely for her Renaissance documentary, “where the whole theme is silver with silver hair, a silver carpet, and implied silver clothing, and you idiots jump to the conclusion that she’s trying to be a white woman.” and her skin bleaches?”
“How sad it is that some of their own people are perpetuating the stupid narrative with hatred and jealousy,” she seethed. “Duh, she wore silver hair that matched her silver dress as a fashion statement clown. ‘ALIEN Superstar duh!’
She also castigated black commenters on social media who had accused her daughter of trying to lighten her skin, calling them “bozos.”
“Lie and pretend and act like you are so ignorant that you don’t understand that black women have been wearing platinum blonde hair since the days of Etta James,” she wrote. “I just looked at all the beautiful, talented black celebrities who have worn platinum blonde hair, and almost every one of them has done this at some point. ‘Are they all trying to be white?’
