Beyonce Knowles is not backing down.
After being slammed for a highly sexual Grammy performance in January, the 32-year-old added even racier outfits to the European leg of her Mrs Carter World Tour, which kicked off Thursday.
The Drunk In Love singer shared several shots of her new costumes from her Instagram account, one which revealed her suggestively straddling a prop in a skimpy sequined bodysuit.

What IS she doing?: Beyonce Knowles shared this photo of herself straddling a prop during the European leg on her Mrs Carter World Tour which kicked off Thursday

With her left leg stretched behind her and her back arched with highlighted locks cascading down past her derriere, it looked almost as if she was in the throes of passion, not performing for thousands.
In another shot the Texas native was showing off leather hot pants with black over-the-knee tights and a plaid shirt as she pushed her hips forward. Her backup dancers were wearing even less.
More shots show her in a skintight sequined dress that showcased her small waist and generous hips.

It's an odd time for Knowles to be playing up her sex appeal as she has been criticized not just by mothers for her twerking G-string bottom on the Grammys, but also by actress Garcelle Beauvais who called the beauty's tour 'too overt.'
During a performance in Glasgow on Friday, the Sweet Dreams singer also showed off more costumes.
One was a dramatic gladiator-style look. With only hot pants to cover her bottom half, the top half of her costume was gold and black.
She topped off the look with Wonder Woman style matching gold cuffs.

Another ensemble was a daring see-through chain mail dress that showed off a small black bikini top and matching underpants.
The mother to Blue Ivy was also seen in a red-and-blue vintage-looking romper.
The choice of clothing seems to be making a signal that she really wants to flaunt her post-baby body.
She also has been accused of upping her sex-appeal factor to compete with the much younger mega success Rihanna, who's only 26-year-old.
