When Beyoncé and Jay-Z made Los Angeles their home, they didn’t just settle in—they redefined luxury living in the City of Angels. From an $88-million Bel-Air estate to a jaw-dropping $200-million beachfront palace in Malibu, the power couple has built a presence that’s as iconic as their music. But LA isn’t just a backdrop to their private lives—it's also where Beyoncé works, plays, and makes history.
Whether you're a lifelong fan or simply intrigued by the superstar lifestyle, here’s how to experience Los Angeles like Queen Bey herself.
SoFi Stadium: Where Legends Perform
When Beyoncé performs, it’s more than a concert—it’s a cultural event. SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, the crown jewel of modern sports and entertainment venues, is where she’s launching her much-anticipated Cowboy Carter Tour.With five massive shows scheduled between April and May, the stadium becomes the epicenter of Beyoncé’s musical reign. Cowboy Carter made waves as the first album by a Black woman to top Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, and it’s only fitting that its tour kicks off at a venue known for hosting world-class events like the Super Bowl and the upcoming Olympics.
GRAMMY Glory
Beyoncé has become synonymous with the GRAMMY Awards. After years of nominations, she secured the Album of the Year win for Cowboy Carter at the 67th Annual GRAMMYs. Her historic collection now stands at 35 wins and 99 nominations, making her the most-awarded artist in GRAMMY history.Los Angeles is not just where Beyoncé wins awards—it's where she reshapes the music industry.
The Fényes Mansion: Lights, Camera, Formation
While "Formation" visually channels the deep South, its roots are grounded in LA. Scenes from the powerful music video were filmed at the Fényes Mansion in Pasadena.This opulent 1906 estate, part of the Pasadena Museum of History, was transformed to resemble a Southern Gothic mansion. Fans can explore the location that helped bring one of Beyoncé’s most acclaimed visuals to life by booking a weekend tour of the mansion.
Dining Like a Diva: Gjelina in Venice
When Beyoncé dines out, it’s a family affair. In 2017, she and her family were spotted at Gjelina in Venice, a celebrity-loved eatery known for fresh, California-style dishes.The restaurant is a staple on Abbot Kinney Boulevard and is known for its rustic-chic vibe and inventive menu. Standouts include wood-fired mushroom pizza, lemon buckwheat ricotta pancakes, and seafood-forward small plates. Even without the paparazzi, you’ll feel star-worthy here.
Skating Nights and Flashbacks: Moonlight Rollerway
Though the beloved World On Wheels has closed, Beyoncé’s 2017 visit there lives on in LA lore. These days, the retro magic continues at Moonlight Rollerway in Glendale, a roller rink that’s been spinning since the 1950s.The rink offers themed nights, family-friendly sessions, and plenty of charm. Whether you're a seasoned skater or just finding your rhythm, it’s easy to picture yourself gliding like Bey under the disco lights.
Beyond the Gated Mansions
While most will never step foot in the megamansions of Bel-Air or Malibu, Beyoncé’s LA life is still accessible in spirit. Her favorite places reflect a city that’s creative, ever-evolving, and deeply rooted in artistry.From award-winning performances to historic filming locations and casual neighborhood favorites, Los Angeles invites fans to walk in Beyoncé’s footsteps—even if just for a day.
