These are some new photos of Beyonce and Jay-Z having a “date night” on Saturday in New York. According to Fame/Flynet, they had a “romantic, sunset dinner in Battery Park.” As you can see, it doesn’t seem like Bey and Jay really dressed up for their dinner date whatsoever. I’m sorry, but Jay’s “date night” turquoise hoodie looks really, really cheap. And Beyonce just looks dated in those high-tops and unflattering leather pants. You know my first thought when I saw Beyonce’s leather pants? “Huh, I wonder if she borrowed them from Kim Kardashian.” Still, maybe THIS is when you know that you’ve married your true love – when a romantic date night involves your husband wearing a turquoise sweat-hoodie and you don’t care about how out of date you look. And seriously, I wish Bey would stop trying to make those glasses happen. They do not suit her at all, and she’s been wearing them for most of the year. Somebody needs to take them away from her and break them.
In other Bey and Jay news, during a recent radio interview with Cleveland’s z107.9, Pres. Obama was asked about his friendship with the Bey and Jay. By the way – because I know some of you will be like “I hate Obama because he gave a radio interview about Beyonce, NOBAMA,” let me just point out that the interview was wide-ranging, it was about politics and the economy and all of the presidential stuff, and Obama took a few pop culture questions as well. Anyway, Obama said he gave Jay parenting advice like, “I made sure that Jay-Z was helping Beyonce out [with the baby]. And not leaving it all with mom and the mother-in-law.” Obama also said that he has “gotten to know these guys over the first several years. They’re good people. They’re down to earth. Beyonce could not be sweeter to Michelle and the girls. So they’re good friends. They really are down-to-earth folks. We talk about the same things I talk about with all my friends.” Huh. Pres. Obama thinks Beyonce and Jay are “down to earth”? That makes me question EVERYTHING.

What’s the common denominator between Jay-Z past and Obama’s praise?
Those sunglasses look like the ones Kadeem Hardison used to wear on A Different World. I kinda, sorta, almost like them. They’re just quirky enough to be fun, although I wouldn’t wear them every day — and certainly not at night.
The sunglasses were the only things that stick out to me about the picture and I want them, I prefer unusual sunglasses.
Most sneakers are high tops these days so I’m not sure what the dated thing was about.
those Isabel marant sneakers! why do the fashionistas love them so much?? somewhere Isabel is laughing her way to the bank.
LOL Birdix, I was going to say the same thing. They are like $600-$700 a pair!
Dwayne Wayne 4-evah!
True love…. *snort*
It’s just a question of status. Carters would never be “friends” with Obama family if he wasn’t the president. Please, what on Earth they could talk about?
Oh please, what do they talk about? “Yeah guys, just add a couple more zeros to that campaign donation check and Michelle and I will be on our way – oh, yeah, peace out!”
Ummm … music, politics, family, sports … what kinda question is that?
That sweater would make Cliff Huxtable proud.
Bwahahaha. Perfect!!
Well I don’t really see Obama calling them out, even I they were not what he expected. Plus I’m sure they would always be on their best behaviour.
The part about encouraging to Jay-z help with Blue Ivy made me laugh. You hardly ever see either of them with the kid, That’s what nannies are for.
Just because we don’t publicly see them with their kid doesn’t mean they are not involved parents.
Could care less about the fashion, it’s NY no surprises. But I am surprised that the Obama camp think it’s such a good idea for the President to befriend a man who only served probation for stabbing a man because the victim sold bootlegg CD’s of his music.
oh please…..I can’t stand it when ANY President cuddles up and name drops celebs….its just so low rent. Run the freaking country and don’t give advice on raising dem babies…ugh!
I would like to second that!

^^This, times more than what Obama’s administration has piled onto the deficit.
Fug outfit. Glasses are marginally cool, if not because they resemble a pair of early 90s shades I found in a vintage store.
I wish Jay would dress his age..
I should like to think that the president of the US of A must be a good judge of character so… down to earth it is. Besides, these pictures seem to confirm their down-to-earthedness, no? I’ll buy it.
The real estate company with swampland in Arizona is waiting for your call.
Kaiser, when you say “That makes me question EVERYTHING”. Do you mean question everything as in, ‘huh, maybe I was wrong about J and Bey since Obama says they are down-to-earth’ or question everything as in ‘since Obama said J and Bey are down to earth, maybe I was wrong about his judgement and truthfulness e.g. maybe he and his people WERE told that more security was wanted by the intelligence community”.
I’m not being argumentative or belligerent, I honestly am curious as to what you meant by that statement.
Notice Beyonce’s left earring. The circle is O then BAMA hangs from it. Cute…not.
High top sneaker wedges are actually one of the trends of the moment, I like the trend… It reminds me of the 90’s… But I don’t know if it will stay “cool” long enough for me to justify the cost of buying a pair… Leather pants will sadly always be around ever time the weather gets cold.. It’s a shame bc I don’t think they suit anyone but slim women with long legs… I just prey that the jumper thing catches on… Because frankly there are a lot of people wearing things they can’t pull off… Or are too young to wear… I am really over seeing 13 year old girls dressing like they are at the beach when ever I go shopping.
Why would a woman wear such tight pants to go eat? Takes the fun out of a meal.
i predict doom. divorce is coming.
“‘Huh. Pres. Obama thinks Beyonce and Jay are “down to earth”?'”
That makes me question Obama’s judgment on EVERYTHING. These people define gaudy.
This + 100.
I hate their outfits.
thats all I got
What’s Obama supposed to say? Of course he’s going to say something nice (banal but nice) about the people who cut him a fat check for his campaign.
Bey looks good but I agree on those pants. iCan’t.
Agree mel and hotpockets and I’m an Obama supporter but this sucking up to celebs is embarassing – I’ll say it again in the spirit of non-partisanship our Politicians should ideally have enough substance that they wouldn’t cavort with the world of pop culture –
And who the hell does bouncy think she is and that what she does is so important. I’m very disappointed in the Obama’s – I thought they had more substance, they are coming off as quite shallow imho.
She looks as bad in leatherpants as Kim Kartrashian does…and with sneakers? TERRIBLE!
Ugh, why did you have to bring politics into this? This is the one place I go to escape all that! Anyway, B looks awful! I don’t care if they are “down to earth” or not, you should never dress like that in public.
…”Beyonce could not be sweeter to Michelle and the girls. So they’re good friends…”
Obviously. Does he really expect if she didn’t completely kiss their arses, Michelle would give her the time of day? Um, no.
From the hair straight down to the shoes, Beyonce looks cheap and ridiculous. Why she and Kim Kartrashian insist on stuffing themselves into too-small leather pants is something I’ll never understand.
Those shades are a joke, i see them more on Gaga than her, it’s like she’s purposely trying to look bad. Or maybe Jay Z likes her looking stupid cuz it keeps the mens away, i don’t know, but ICK, major, for real! Just stop it, stop it now!
