A fan who was lucky enough to catch Beyoncé's sunglasses during a recent London show is planning to auction off the shades at a starting price of over $7,000.
As shown on the website for British auction house The Salesroom, the Off-White branded shades are set to be auctioned off on July 4. "Likely custom made 1/1, worn onstage by Beyoncé during her performance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London on May 29th," reads the listing, which has a starting price of £6,000 (roughly $7,600). "The sunglasses were thrown into the crowd by Beyoncé and caught by our vendor who is offering them for sale here."
As noted in the listing, the TikToker, Valentino Rodrigues, filmed himself catching the shades. "Initially taken from him by security the sunglasses were returned into his possession by Beyoncé herself," the listing continues. The estimated value according to the auctioneer is between £10,000 to £15,000, or $12,500 to $19,000.
In the original video shared by Rodrigues on TikTok, Beyoncé could be seen taking off her sunglasses during a performance of "Diva" before handing them off to him. Security went to retrieve the glasses, and Bey threw them back to him again later in the concert. In a second post, he put on the shades and joked, "I don't know about you guys, but I can't hear the haters." He also noted the glasses had his birthday on them.
In an interview with The Daily Dot earlier this month, Rodrigues said the concert was the "best night of my life." It's unclear why they ultimately decided to sell off the shades.
