After rocking the stage in a fedora and cut-offs at the first night of Coachella’s annual three-day festival in California with her husband Jay-Z, Beyoncé Knowles stuck to the same head- and leg-wear the next day. But on day two, Beyoncé sported a loose-fitting tank featuring one of summer’s iconic treats that read “Je T’aime.”
