Nottingham fashion teacher James Goss and his mates were overnight hits online after going to Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour in Cardiff. James found out a picture of him with friends Shaun Walton and Jakadi Clarke, AKA as "Cherry", featured on the multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning recording artist's page for the tour, which took the city's Principality Stadium by storm on May 17.
James, 34, of Canning Circus, a massive Beyoncé fan, was scrolling through pics of the show on the official website when he saw himself with his mates in their amazing outfits. Beyoncé's crew took the pic, which is now trending online.
One fan page member reposted the stunning shot, garnering 16,000 views straight away, as he commented that the "fans looked amazing in Cardiff".
James, who teaches fashion at Nottingham Trent University and the University of Derby, made his own stunning garb based on the same outfit worn by Michael Jackson in his Rock With You hit. A tailor by trade, he spent quite some time with a pair of tweezers adding 18,000 diamante gems to a tracksuit for the gig and upstyling a pair of grey Ugg boots, by spraying them silver and covering them with glitter.

Cherry expertly replicated Beyoncé's seventh studio album, Renaissance, cover, featuring the singer wearing an ultra-sexy, costume diamond-encrusted harness while she sat atop a silver holographic horse. Cherry's version includes silver thigh-high boots, a cowboy hat and her own mini silver horse.
Shaun looked equally glam in his stylish outfit. James told Nottinghamshire Live they have followed Beyoncé on tour in Glasgow, Manchester and Birmingham, and always go for the "VIP package", so they can get a closer view of the hitmaker.
James said of the online nod to their outfits: "We are so thrilled. Our ultimate goal has been fulfilled to be on the website".
