Beyonce's stunning pregnancy style

Your body is changing, you feel icky sicky, emotions are running high, and you can't fit into your normal tried and true styles — such is the life of a pregnant lady. So even when the most stylish of us decides to get knocked up, the social contract includes some allowances for the mom-to-be, including a generally lowered expectation for her fashion game.


But did international superstar singer, songwriter, dancer, style maven, and badass feminist, Beyoncé, decide that she was going to sit back and relax when she became pregnant for the second time (this time with twins) with husband, rapper and Tidal creator, Jay Z? Considering her reputation for effortlessly owning the entire universe, what do you think?

As her pregnancy progresses, Queen Bey has made some truly stunning style statements — particularly via her busy personal Instagram account — that challenge the idea that pregnant women can't or shouldn't cut a figure of elegance, sexiness, and pure panache when it comes to dressing up their bump. Combining elements from several different fashion eras, from '70s glam, to Y2K grunge, preggo Bey continues to stand out as a sophisticated leader on the world stage of art, fashion, and style. Here are a few of her absolute raddest pregnancy looks!



The big reveal

On February first, 2017, Beyonce took to Instagram to announce her pregnancy (lucky twins!) and showcase her budding twin bump in satiny, jewel-toned lingerie, tons of volume in her loose, curly hair, and a long, vintage-looking veil.

Set against a decidedly 80s-looking giant flower and fern arrangement, the Lemonade star's look was almost of another era. "We would like to share our love and happiness," she captioned her pic, "We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. — The Carters." Her words spelled joy and happiness, but her bold stance and demure expression showed the strength behind this mother-of-twins-to-be.

Fly girl

Just six weeks after her initial public pregnancy announcement, Beyonce showed off her rapidly growing twin-tummy in this striking, monochrome, '90s-esque outfit. The future mom of twins wore a shiny black, bodycon dress with a shoulder cutout on one side, accessorized with thigh-high, black suede, high-heeled boots, giant silver earrings, a black ribbon choker necklace, and a studded Gucci handbag.

It seems like Bey is doing her best to remind people everywhere that pregnancy garb can be badass and sexy. According to Harper's Bazaar, Beyonce put this outfit together to attend her stepfather, Richard Lawson's 70th birthday. You can wear this dress to my party anytime, Queen Bey.
