The 10 Best Moments Of Beyonce’s Sizzling “Partition” Video

Beyonce finally uploaded the video for her meme-spawning bedroom anthem “Partition” today (February 25) — it’s been available on her visual album since December — and the diva’s raunchy shenanigans already have the internet buzzing. After all, it’s not every day you see Queen Bey walking down the street in her lingerie!

It’s pretty clear that “Partition” will now serve as the third single from Beyonce. The Timbaland-produced slow jam has already climbed to number 70 on the Billboard Hot 100 based on streaming and a new edit impacts radio in March. To celebrate the video release, I’ve cobbled together a list of the visual extravaganza’s ten best moments. Which is hard because every moment is worth savoring.

Here are the ten best moments from “Partition” in no particular order:

1. When Bey stares at her disinterested man across the breakfast table table. Reading glasses have never looked sexier and you know any video featuring a French maid is going to be freaky.

2. When the “Drunk In Love” diva takes off her glasses and exposes her black lacy lingerie. Beyonce’s man must be visually impaired because he continues to ignore her. Even when she drops her napkin and the sexy maid comes running.

3. When the fantasy sequence begins and our heroine stares at herself in the mirror wearing a bejeweled corset that superbly showcases her cleavage.

4. When slowly walking down a dark road in the glow of a car’s headlights becomes a craze after the 32-year-old goes for a night-time stroll in her lingerie and trench coat. The slay is too real.

5. When Bey opens her lace cape on the top of a piano and writhes about whipping her hair. Enough said really.

6. When the “XO” hitmaker emerges from the floor in a vintage beaded cap — and little else. The infamous shot of her butt is the sexiest moment in the 17-time Grammy winner’s career to date.

7. When Bey performs the already iconic chair dance. This sexy sequence was so well-received that she recreated it for The Mrs. Carter Show world tour 2014.

8. When Jay Z smokes a cigar while watching his wife perform the above-mentioned choreography.

9. When sales of leopard-skin print lamps skyrocket after seeing Queen Bey do her sexy rope dance in front of one. What would Michelle Williams think of these eye-popping dance moves?

10. When the shade-throwing expert wakes up from her day dream and finishes her coffee like a boss.
