Beyoncé opened Kobe Bryant's memorial presentation with two of her classic hits and wore illuminating ensembles that paid tribute to the late basketball star.
On Monday, the singer-songwriter serenaded the audience by singing "XO" and "Halo."
While bringing a sense of ease to the crowd with her vocals, she wore Bryant's famous Lakers' colors on her nails and her nail art read Kobe on one hand and Gigi on the other.
Beyoncé also showed off vibrant purple eye shadow and matching rings as she donned a stunning gold suit.
"I'm here because I love Kobe, and this was one of his favorite songs," Beyoncé said during her performance. "I want you to sing it so loud, they'll hear your love."
