She’s not one to court controversy, but Beyoncé’s penchant for animal skin nearly saw her in hot water recently.
The 32-year-old had a cobra skin one-legged jumpsuit custom-made for her by New York ‘rare skin specialist’ designer Rubin Singer – who, in addition to designing the garments, reportedly sources the animal skins himself.
But the silvery suit nearly didn’t debut on the singer’s Mrs. Carter world tour as it was blocked by European customs as it was being shipped from the Big Apple.

skin one-legged jumpsuit was stopped by European customs... but
released in time for Lisbon show
But, according the New York Post, the singer’s stylists managed to get the paperwork in order and file it with customs in the nick of time - and the outfit arrived.
The star will perform in the custom-made, one-legged jumpsuit on the opening night of her shows in Lisbon.

Designer Rubin, whose father reportedly designed clothes for the Bolshoi, was the brainchild behind the sexy number Beyoncé performed at the Super Bowl XLVII in February 2013.
The sexy leather corset with a plunging front and matching fingerless gloves set chins wagging all over the world as the singer bumped and grinded to a bevvy of her biggest hits in front of 104 million TV viewers.

MailOnline has contacted a representative for the singer.
