A very happy birthday! Jay Z celebrates turning 44 with stunning Beyoncé by his side as they enjoy a healthy vegan lunch



Jay Z celebrated his 44th birthday with his leading lady Beyoncé by his side on Wednesday.

The power couple have decided to go vegan for 22 days, and this was day two of their plant-based challenge.



As they strive to become more spiritual, the pair opted to eat at Café Gratitude, where each dish is an affirmation.

Jay Z will certainly have been a very happy birthday boy as his wife looked absolutely amazing for their meal in West Hollywood.



The singer was clad in an orange and white printed crop top and trousers that had an identical pattern but were two shades of orange.



The 31 year-old also sported sky high taupe patent pumps with gold detailing, accessorising further with a gold chain necklace and large round sunglasses.

Beyoncé wore her blonde tresses tied into a boho bun and completed her look with lots of bright pink lipstick.



Meanwhile her rapper beau, whose real name is Shawn Carter, was cutting a very suave figure to celebrate turning 44.



The star was wearing a navy shirt that was plaid but graduated into a block colour, and he wore it under a grey wool coat.

The Picasso Baby hit-maker also sported a pair of dark jeans tucked into navy suede boots, large sunglasses and a chain necklace.

Jay Z revealed on his website that he and his wife would be going vegan until Christmas.

‘On December 3rd, one day before my 44th birthday I will embark on a 22 Days challenge to go completely vegan, or as I prefer to call it, plant-based!!



‘This all began a few months back when a good friend and vegan challenged me to embrace a “plant-based breakfast” everyday,’ he wrote.



‘There’s something spiritual to me about it being my 44th birthday and the serendipity behind the number of days in this challenge; 22 (2+2=4) coupled with the fact that the challenge ends on Christmas day… It just feels right!’
