Beyoncé takes in premiere of 'challenging' film

Beyoncé took to the red carpet for the New York premiere of her star-studded new musical, Dreamgirls.

With Oscar-winning Chicago director Bill Condon at the helm, the film follows the fortunes of a Supremes-era girl group who hit the big time as The Dreams, under the guidance of their manager Curtis Taylor, played by Jamie Foxx.

The bootylicious actress admitted that taking on the role was one of the biggest challenges of her career. “I was very nervous and scared and a bit insecure, so I embraced that,” said the singer, clad in a glittering Elie Saab dress.
