How do you celebrate your birthday when you’re Beyoncé? The pop superstar escaped the city and spent her 31st birthday on board a chartered yacht with her family. After headlining his “Made in America” festival in Philadelphia over the weekend, Jay-Z took his wife and daughter sailing in the Mediterranean.

Mr. Carter held Blue Ivy as he talked into a walkie-talkie and showed her some balloons, while her mother sipped wine on deck. The couple eventually spotted the paparazzi using their binoculars and made a quick escape inside the cabin.
