Bra-less Beyoncé manages to avoid a wardrobe malfunction... as she wears a sexy unbuttoned shirt to lunch

They have recently been hoping to purchase a new home, after perusing several million-dollar properties in Los Angeles.

But it looks as though Beyoncé might want to add a bra to her shopping list, as she stepped out without one on Tuesday.

The Naughty Girl singer wore a sexy unbuttoned blue shirt that was tied up, showing off her cleavage and carefully avoided a wardrobe malfunction.

No bra, no problem! Beyoncé carefully avoids a wardrobe malfunction wearing a sexy unbuttoned shirt while out for lunch with husband Jay Z on Tuesday in LA

Bey was stepping out for lunch at the trendy Gracias Madre and the singer completed her look with a ripped denim skirt.

Sadly over the weekend, Bey is said to have not been so lucky with her outfit ripped backstage at a Tom Ford fashion show in Los Angeles.

A source told UsWeekly: ‘Beyonce had a huge wardrobe malfunction at the show. Her dress ripped all the way up the back and she had to run backstage to find something else to wear.’

Has she been drinking? Has she been drinking? It was unclear if the Drunk In Love singer was aware that her top was revealing so much

Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that Bey and Jay are now renting a Los Angeles home for a bargain $150,000 a month.

The couple – who have three-year-old daughter Blue Ivy together – have been unable to find a property to buy that is suitable for their needs, so have agreed a 12-month deal to return to the Holmby Hills mansion they were based in last summer.

According to TMZ, the pair dealt directly with the owners of the seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom 16,000 sq ft property so were able to negotiate a discount from $200,000 to $150,000 a month, based on them signing a longer lease.

It was recently claimed the couple’s friend Gwyneth Paltrow was instrumental in their decision to relocate from New York City to California as the ‘Iron Man 3’ star advised it would be a better place to raise a family.

A source said: ‘Beyoncé and Jay Z are making LA their permanent home based a lot on the advice of their friends. The friend that really influenced them to move was Gwyneth Paltrow.’

The 42-year-old actress, who moved back to LA from London with her two children, Apple, 10, and Moses, eight, and estranged husband Chris Martin in 2013, believes California offers a better quality of life.

Button up? Nope! Bey even playfully tugged her shirt as she walked confidently to her vehicle

The insider said: ‘Gwyneth was telling Jay and Bey about the quality of life for her kids in LA and really swayed Beyoncé and Jay to make the move. It’s all for Blue Ivy.’

The Pretty Hurts hitmaker, 33, and the 45-year-old rapper might also be sending Blue to the same school as Gwyneth’s children.

Another source recently revealed the duo, who plan to keep their apartment in New York, have already enrolled their only child in a private school that costs $15,080 per year.
