Grammy Award winner Beyoncé presented Saturday her first performance since 2018 at a private hotel launch event in Dubai.

The 41-year-old star put on a 90-minute show at the unveiling of Atlantis The Royal, billed as the world's most ultra-luxury resort.

Beyoncé emerged in front of a 1,500-strong crowd in a yellow sequinned gown with a sculptural feathered cape, opening with her cover of Etta James's "At Last".

She also presented some of her biggest hits such as "Crazy In Love", "Naughty Girl", "Halo", and "XO".

She culminated with a rendition of "Drink In Love" as fireworks lit up the sky.

Blue Ivy, 11, gave the audience a surprise when she joined her mother for a duet on stage on "Brown Skin Girl" from the 2019 album "The Lion King: The Gift".

The former Destiny's Child star later changed into a red and gold bejeweled bodysuit with a voluminous train before completing a third costume change with a red corseted minidress with matching stockings and gloves.

She was paid $24m for the gig attended by celebrities including Kendall Jenner, Liam Payne, Ronan Keating, Rochelle, and Marvin Humes.

This was Beyoncé's first proper live show since she performed at the Global Citizen Festival in Johannesburg in December 2018.
