Beyoncé is literally putting the "queen" in Queen Bey!

A new extended teaser has just been released hyping the songbird's upcoming "Mrs. Carter Show" world tour, and in true pop-royalty fashion, Jay-Z's ladylove simply rules.

In the spot, which specifically hawks Bey's show at London's O2 arena, the 31-year-old songstress holds court as a wild mashup between Marie Antoinette and Queen Elizabeth I.

As she gets ready to make her grand entrance, Beyoncé is primped to pop-star perfection, complete with corset, knee-high boots, jewels and crown.

A shorter version debuted last month when the singer first announced her world tour, but the new spot—which is about a minute longer—offers black-and-white snippets of Bey behind the scenes, as an army of assistants, choreographers and dancers piece together the eye-popping production.

The final ad, of course, is quite the extravaganza: Scepter in hand and killer bouffant at the ready, Beyoncé steps forward as a cadre of subjects trail her, swaying and swooning as Bey stomps away in those killer Wonder Woman–esque boots.

The massive 42-city tour, which will trek through Europe and North America, kicks off on April 15 in Belgrade, Serbia, and wraps up on Aug. 4 in—surprise!—her hubby's home turf of Brooklyn.

Based on this extended teaser, we're expecting nothing less than a majestic spectacle.
