Following a thrilling concert, where Beyoncé graciously tossed her sunglasses to a lucky fan, that same admirer has made the choice to organise a global auction for the coveted eyewear.

Valentino, a devoted Beyoncé fan, told Newsflare that the artist threw her sunglasses towards him on two occasions. Unfortunately, the first attempt was unsuccessful because her kind gesture prompted a confrontation among fans. Security had to intervene to divide them over the shades. But Valentino didn't give up.

Undeterred by the unfortunate turn of events, he decided to make one last attempt to connect with his idol. During Beyoncé's performance of "Crazy in Love," he managed to tell her about the glasses being confiscated by security. His dream came true when to his amazement, the singer acknowledged his plea and threw a second pair of shades, ensuring that he would not leave the concert empty-handed.

Despite his long efforts to grab and keep her eyewear, Valentino has now decided to sell it at an international auction.

"I’ve partnered with Omega Auctions who have previously auctioned some of the most expensive music memorabilia ever sold such as John Lennon’s home", he told Newsflare. "The bid starts at $10,000 (£8,000) and will last until July 4. The auction is available worldwide as it is online".
