Each time Beyoncé releases personal snaps via her website iam.beyonce.com we die a little inside out of realisation that our lives will never be as fabulous or idyllic.

From her 18-carat diamond engagement ring to her designer duds and jealousy-inducing sun-dappled holidays, Beyoncé paints a picture of a life we will quite simply never have. Sigh. But wait, is that a glimmer of hope we see?

It is! A shiny Topshop-shaped glimmer! For Beyoncé shops at our favourite high-street shop Topshop, just like us mere non-millionaire mortals!

The most recent batch of photos show 'Queen Bey' going about her perfect life whilst sporting a number of different Topshop finds. From a Maarten Van Der Hoorst for Topshop Hawaiian-print blazer (£140 but unfortunately no longer available) to a £100 Limited Edition embroidered mesh maxi dress ( still available, GO! ) and a £30 beaded cross-body bag ( get it here ). She even rocks a £34 Aztec-print Toppers onesie as daywear.

But it's not just Bey, her super-stylish little sister Solange loves a bit of Topshop too, showing off her Boutique paisley-print silk tee and matching shorts in one of the happy snaps.

We're not sure where or when Beyoncé picked up her latest Topshop haul - she enjoyed two well-documented sprees when she visited the Oxford Circus flagship store in 2010 and 2011 - but as all these pieces are recent additions we think she may have paid a trip to the one Topshop store in her hometown of New York, or perhaps indulged in a little e-tail therapy. Whatever, we're sure Topshop are very happy to have Beyoncé as their unofficial poster girl, and we, in turn, are happy to have something in common with a superstar.
