Back in the States following a romantic holiday getaway in the Caribbean, Beyonce Knowles took to the red carpet for the New York City premiere of "Notorious" on Wednesday night (January 7).

The "Sasha Fierce" sweetheart looked ever-so-glam, a movie telling the life and death story of famous rap artist Notorious B.I.G.

In related news, it was just announced earlier today that Beyonce has earned a nomination in the outstanding female music artist category and for best music video for the 40th annual NAACP Image Awards.

To top it all off, she's also in the running against sentimental favorite Jennifer Hudson for best actress for her work on "Cadillac Records."
