Oprah Winfrey attends Beyonce's HBO Documentary Premiere

Beyoncé  also showcased her Executive Producer/Director work to the world.  The premiere of her “Life Is But A Dream” HBO documentary went down at the Ziegfeld Theater in NYC Tuesday night.  And her family and celebrity friends all came out to support.

In a sexy beaded and sheer nude Elie Saab Spring 2012 couture gown, that we wish she would have rocked to the Grammys, Mrs. Carter was front and center at tonight’s big premiere.

Gorgeous look for her.  Those 12 hour workout days–and clearly some squats–have done a body good.

Bey was fresh off her big sit-down with Oprah Winfrey for this Saturday’s episode of “Oprah’s Next Chapter”.  So she brought the billion dollar woman as her special guest to the premiere.

O got silly on the carpet giving the media some praise.

And even moderated a discussion with Bey beforehand.

Mr. Carter hopped out the car looking dapper as hell. 

Jay skipped out on the carpet to rush inside.

Solange Knowles showed a whole lot of leg in a white blouse that she used as a mini dress.  We think.  Loves the hair.

MaMa Tina went chic in a black and white tuxedo pant and an extra snatched face.  She must keep that doc on retainer. 

Angela Simmons kept it cute in all white and a cute varsity jacket.  But seems to have changed clothes for the after party where she snapped a pic with Bey:
  

Back out on the carpet, Angela Bassett took some time away from filming her new film Black Nativity to check out the doc:

Gorgeous as always.

After hitting plenty of Fashion Week shows, Selita Ebanks showed off her modeliciousness on the carpet in all black.  Pretty.

The Dream, who worked with Bey on past projects and her upcoming album, hit the carpet as well.  Guess he’s not mad at Jay for that SwapMeet hat comment from Sunday’s Grammys.  Ha.

And Tyson Beckford and model girlfriend Shanina Shaik popped up on the carpet too.

“Life Is But A Dream” airs this Saturday, Feb. 16th, at 9pET on HBO.
