Beyoncé's handmade tour outfit blocked by European customs

Los Angeles - Beyoncé's handmade tour outfit was stopped by customs.

The XO hitmaker is set to kick off the European leg of her Mrs Carter World Tour in Portugal on Wednesday, but there was a frantic panic a few days ago when her one-legged jumpsuit, which she'll wear on the opening night, was refused entry by the EU authorities.

The attire, made from silver cobra, was designed by Rubin Singer, who uses rare skins from Europe and Asia and moulds them into stunning fashion pieces.

However, the 32-year-old singer's stylists sorted out the paperwork with customs and the outfit arrived just in time for her glamorous show, according to the New York Post newspaper.

Meanwhile, the blonde beauty has just finished her UK and Ireland leg of the tour, which saw her intersperse old favourites such as Crazy in Love and Single Ladies with tracks from her fifth studio album, BEYONCE, which she released with no forewarning in December.

Beyoncé ended her concerts with the uplifting Halo and a cover of I Will Always Love You.

However, the final act also included the poignant new ballad Heaven, in which the star sings of the death of a loved one.
