Beyonce stuns in sparkly black jacket at 'Lion King' premiere

The queen of pop channeled her inner diva as she attended the 'Lion King' premiere donning sparkly ensemble.

Los Angeles: Dressed in a sparkly black jacket and custom designed sheer tulle skirt, Beyonce posed briefly for photographers before quickly heading inside the theatre Tuesday afternoon.

The queen of pop music has also dropped a new original song 'Spirit' from Disney's live-action 'Lion King' on the same day.

The tune comes at a pivotal moment for Nala, the character voiced by Beyonce, in the film that comes out July 18.

It's part of an album called 'The Lion King: The Gift' that Beyonce is executive producing and performing on along with other artists. It will be released digitally July 11, with the physical album coming July 19.

The collection is a companion to the main 'Lion King' soundtrack, which consists mostly of songs from the animated film, along with a new number from Elton John and Tim Rice, who wrote the songs for the original.

Donald Glover who voices Simba, also looked sharp in a cream checked suit. Chiwetel Ejiofor, the voice of Scar wore a more classic black suit and white shirt.

Other 'Lion King' stars in attendance included Alfre Woodard, Billy Eichner, Seth Rogen and Keegan-Michael Key.
