This is Beyonce Knowles and she's a whole lotta woman! Pouring her bootylicious self into a silver-sequined off-white Elie Saab gown, the Cadillac Records actress was pearlescent on the red carpet. Is that a real word? Do I care?

Nominated for the song "Once in a Lifetime" in the film where she portrays singer Etta James, Knowles kicked up the high wattage with her radiant smile, as well as some serious jewelry.

Truly, diamonds are Beyonce's best friend as the Lorraine Schwartz necklace and earrings were the icing on the cake that is her outfit. Mmmm...cake.Click any photo to view all 20+ photos of Beyonce and Jay-Z at the 2009 Golden Globes Awards in the gallery! All our of 2009 Golden Globes Awards coverage can be found here.
