Beyoncé is a perfect mother, but she has also managed to have some free time to enjoy days out with her husband Jay-Z and they decided to cheer on the New York Knicks at a basketball game in New York.

Beyoncé, 30, decided to take a walk on the wild side and donned statement leopard print trousers.

Aware that her vibrant bottoms would be turning heads, the star kept the rest of her outfit black.

The singer wore a long-sleeved jersey top tucked into her trousers as well as a fedora hat and large round sunglasses.

Beyoncé topped off her stylish outfit with a color pop in the form of her two tone pink and beige patent court shoes, also adding a simple gold chain necklace and matching hoop earrings.

Meanwhile Jay-Z kept things casual in a black T-shirt, dark denim jacket, grey trousers and silver, pink and navy high-top trainers.

Jay-Z, 42, kept a protective hand on his wife’s waist as they navigated their way through the crowd and into the venue.

When they had stepped out of their car, Jay-Z sweetly held Beyoncé’s hand as she cautiously stepped over a puddle in her high heeled shoes.

Their three-month-old baby Blue Ivy was presumably at home under the care of a nanny.

The pair has made sure to enjoy time as a couple since the birth of their little girl, and on Thursday they were seen at the Cartier Juste un Clou after-party.

They appeared relaxed and well-rested today as they showed up at the game, which is probably due to a recent tropical holiday in St. Barts, which saw them arrive home earlier this week.
