Beyonce showcases her trimmed down figure in bridal lingerie in romantic new video

She never released any images from her top-secret wedding to Jay-Z, but Beyonce has given fans an idea of what her wedding day may have looked like.

The singer plays a bride-to-be wearing sexy bridal lingerie in the video for her latest single Best Thing I Never Had, remembering a past lover who let her get away.

As she sings about the man who wronged her, the 29-year-old strides around her bedroom in a sheer white number complete with a corset lace-up back, suspenders and garter.

With her hair pulled back in two tight buns, the singer writhes on the bed before placing her elaborate veil and tiara on her head.

The enormous tiara is the first hint at a Gypsy-style wedding outfit, and Beyonce doesn't disappoint, appearing in the next scene in an over-the-top dress.

Looking more than a little like Maria von Trapp as she sings atop a hill, she wears a strapless and heavily embellished ivory and gold gown with a full satin skirt that rivalled the infamous brides from the channel four series.

As she prepares to walk down the aisle to meet her prince, Beyonce flashes back to her prom in 1998, with a home video showing her and the former lover she sings about.

A brunette Beyonce, wearing a purple mini dress, excitedly walks into her prom clutching a disinterested-looking date.

But her smiles soon turn to a frown when her boyfriend ditches her on the dance floor for another girl.

In present day, Beyonce walks down the aisle and marries the man who did treat her right, in a beautiful sunset ceremony.

The couple are cheered by their friends and family as they leave the ceremony as man and wife, and head to the reception.

Beyonce changes into a different gown, this one white and sleek, for the party, where her groom takes off her garter with his teeth.

No pictures were ever released of Beyonce and Jay-Z's wedding, which took place under a shroud of secrecy at their apartment in New York on April 4, 2008.

There was never an official confirmation of the nuptials which were attended only by close family and friends, including Beyonce's Destiny's Child band mates Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland, and the couple's good friends Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin.

Speaking to Piers Morgan after her Glastonbury gig last month, the Grammy-winner revealed that she has babies on the mind. In a rare candid moment, she said: 'I always said I was going to have a baby at 30. I'm 29 now.'

Beyonce shows off her slender figure during balcony photoshoot... as peeping Tom enjoys the view from above in his bathrobe

Imagine walking out on to your hotel balcony and there, beneath your eys, stood one of the most famous women on the planet.

That's what happened to one lucky guest at the Ritz Hotel in Paris, who was in prime position to whatch RnB megastar Beyonce take part in a photoshoot in the room below him.

The portly gentleman, clad in a white dressing gown, feasted his eyes as the 29-year-old singer flaunted her killer curves in a sheer black dress.

If he had wanted a room with a view, he certainly got one.

Beyonce looked stunning in her ensemble as she turned on the glamour for the Harper's Bazaar shoot.

Her see-through black dress revealed her black underwear underneath, while her top half was decorated with a bloom of poppy-like red ruffles.

The former Destiny's Child star was also looking noticeably slimmer, having apparently shed weight in recent months.

Her slimline look was accentuated by her hairstyle, which was scraped back tightly against her head.

The singer is currently in Paris to record a new song with Kanye West and possibly also start to prep the video for the tune, according to People.

She has been joined by her husband Jay-Z after the couple flew in last week by private jet.

During their time in the city they have enjoyed several romantic meals together with Beyonce also paying a visit to Disneyland Paris.

The pair reportedly are staying at an ultra-exclusive hotel in the French capital that costs a staggering $20,000 a night.

The two-storey penthouse suite at the Hotel Le Meurice overlooks the Tuiuleries Gardens.

It is decorated in a nineteenth-century style, with private elevator access, sitting room, walk-in closet and bedroom with a bathroom in exquisite Italian marble.

There is also a pantry and a kitchen for a butler and personal chef and a glass enclosed dining room with a gigantic private open air terrace.

Yesterday's photoshoot was held at the famous Ritz hotel, where Princess Diana dined with Dodi Fayed hours before they were tragically killed in a car crash in the French capital.

Beyonce and Jay-Z toast their fabulous lifestyle over lunch in Paris

They're two of the world's biggest music stars with an estimated net worth of $750million between them.

So there's no doubt Beyonce and Jay-Z had plenty to celebrate as they raised glasses of rosé champagne in Paris yesterday.

The superstar couple joined their nephew Daniel Julez and members of their entourage for a lavish alfresco lunch at L'Avenue restaurant in the City of Lights.

The couple chose to sit outside on the warm spring day at the trendy eaterie - a popular paparazzi place to spot celebrities.

Beyonce, 29, showed off her noticeably slimmer figure in a black and gold wrap dress and towering heels.

She was sporting a lighter shade of blonde hair, too - perhaps a change as she prepares to start promoting her new album.

Her husband of three years, 41, was in his signature T-shirt, jeans and trainers - but had removed his baseball cap for the smart restaurant.

Accompanying Beyonce was her six-year-old nephew Daniel - son of her younger sister Solange, who is back in California.

The couple have been staying at the five-star Le Meurice Hotel in Paris, where dozens of fans were crowded outside for a glimpse of their idols as they headed out for lunch.

Beyonce is currently enjoying a European break after recording the video for her new single Girls (Who Rule The World).

Fans got a sneak peak of her new single this week when the track was leaked online.

Beyonce had hired 200 backing dancers for the shoot and the track is described as a 'stomping club banger' and somewhat of a female anthem.

It will be the first song from her as-yet-untitled new album, the follow-up to 2008's I Am... Sasha Fierce.

Beyonce is gearing up to release her fourth solo album in June after playing a selection of tracks to record executives last month.

Sony Music Australia executive Denis Handlin enthused: 'It was just amazing. She came in and played us six tracks from the album.

'She wants to do a big tour off the back of this record... These songs, the best description I can give is groundbreaking; she’s gone to another level.'

Also this year, Beyonce is expected to film her role as Esther Hoffman in a remake of A Star Is Born, with Clint Eastwood directing.
