Beyonce does laid-back holiday style in Diane Von Furstenberg

by on 8th April 2013 0 comments

You often get told not to pack your finest designer threads on your jollies for fear of them getting lost or ruined, but it doesn’t look like Beyonce has taken that advice. Not that she needs to, anyway. Beyonce was snapped looking relaxed and gorgeous on holiday in Cuba, wearing a cute little printed dress from Diane Von Furstenberg’s pre-fall 2012 collection. Check those (Sasha) fierce earrings out too – we love! We’re glad to see Mrs Carter let her hair down and enjoy some down time with her hubby. Figuratively speaking, of course; she is working that braided updo like a pro – if anyone’s going to convince us to attempt rocking that 90s hairstyle once again, Beyonce is the woman to do it. Do you like her laid back holiday style as much as we do?

Watch Beyonce discuss the woman who inspires her most in new Gucci Chime for Change video

by on 8th April 2013 0 comments

As you probably all know by now, Beyonce is one of the big-name celebrities who has been tapped for the Gucci Chime for Change initiative which aims to raise awareness for women’s empowerment. She is also the co-founder and artistic director of the campaign so it makes perfect sense for her to tell us who she finds most inspiring. Can you guess? If you guessed her mother Tina Knowles, then you’d be right! “My mother always sees the beauty in every human being,” Bey says in the video. “Her gift is understanding and helping people get to their best selves. Her gift is finding the best qualities in every human being” Don’t forget to get your tickets and watch Beyonce, Florence and the Machine, Rita Ora, Ellie Goulding, Iggy Azalea and more take to the stage for this wonderful cause. http://youtu.be/g0xOHDa11cw

Beyonce lands British Vogue May cover!

by on 3rd April 2013 0 comments

We are giddy with excitement at the prospect of a Beyonce-covered British Vogue coming through our letter box – hurry up Mr Postman! Yep the one and only Mrs Carter has landed the British Vogue May cover, and is looking the picture of absolute perfection. We expected no less! As well as posing for some breathtaking pictures in array of top designer threads, Bey also opened up to the interviewer about her views on feminism… “That word can be very extreme,” she said. “But I guess I am a modern-day feminist. I do believe in equality. Why do you have to choose what type of woman you are? Why do you have to label yourself anything? I’m just a woman and I love being a woman. “I do believe in equality and that we have a way to go and it’s something that’s pushed aside and something that we have been conditioned to accept. But I’m happily married. I love my husband.” Way to go, Bey! Don’t forget, Beyonce will be headline this summer’s V Festival and performing at the Gucci Chime For Change concert later this year (click here to find out more and get your tickets).

First look: Beyonce for H&M

by on 21st March 2013 0 comments

Looks like those Beyonce for H&M rumours were true, then! Beyonce is indeed the brand new face of H&M’s summer campaign, and was shot in Nassau (the capital of the Bahamas, don’tcha know) by photography dreamteam Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. As well as the picture campaign, we also have a television commercial which was directed by Jonas Åkerlund to look forward to. It even features a brand new Beyonce song called Standing on the Sun as its soundtrack, which we think is pretty cool. “I’ve always liked H&M’s focus on fun and affordable fashion,” Bey said.  “I really loved the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements – fire, water, earth and wind. It was a beautiful shoot on a tropical island. It felt more like making a video than a commercial.” Keep your eyes peeled for more pics and the exciting video commercial as and when we get them!

“Not everyone is supposed to be the same” – Beyonce, Shape April 2013

by on 19th March 2013 0 comments

Beyonce is never far from the top of a “most beautiful woman in the world” list, which probably put her under enormous pressure to shed her baby weight when her adorable daughter Blue Ivy was born last year. We know we weren’t the only ones to notice how quickly she bounced back into her pre-baby bootylicious shape, and now she has opened up to Shape magazine about her slimming secrets… “Not everyone is supposed to be the same. Be healthy and take care of yourself, but be happy with the beautiful things that make you, you,” she said in her interview. I ate a very low-calorie diet. I stayed away from red meat and ate a lot of fish, replaced pasta and rice with quinoa. “I always have breakfast, say, scrambled egg whites, a vegetable smoothie, or whole-grain cereal with low-fat milk. For lunch and dinner, I eat a lot of fish and vegetables. And throughout the day, I try to stay hydrated. “I always treat myself to one meal on Sundays when I can have whatever I want. Usually it’s pizza, which is my favorite indulgence.” Sounds like a pretty strict diet to us, but her pics obviously show that it worked wonders for her! Doesn’t Bey look gorgeous on the cover of Shape and in the editorial pictures? Could you follow her diet? [Daily Mail]

Julien Macdonald to design Beyonce’s Mrs Carter tour wardrobe

by on 15th March 2013 0 comments

Woah, the pressure is officially on Julien Macdonald as the designer has been enlisted with the task of creating Beyonce’s costumes for her Mrs Carter world tour. Talk about an honour! “Julien is a huge Beyonce fan so he’s really excited about producing some custom-made, bespoke outfits,” a source reportedly told The Mirror. “This is a huge coup for him. Bey loves his work and has often worn his outfits.” That ain’t no lie – Queen Bey has indeed worn Julien’s designs on a number of occasions, looking like a fierce and fabulous goddess each and every time. Bey’s epic 59-date world tour kicks off on April 15th, so we haven’t got long to wait to find out what the designer has in store for us. Who’s excited? [Marie Claire]

Adele and Beyonce to sing at Michelle Obama’s 50th birthday

by on 11th March 2013 0 comments

We bet there are a lot of women out there who don’t want to advertise the fact that they are turning the big 5-0, but First Lady Michelle Obama is not one of them. We don’t blame her either – if we looked half as good as she does at 49, we would want to shout it from the rooftops too! So, while a lot of other women might be dreading their 50th birthday, we have a feeling Michelle will be counting down the days for her bday bash as she has some of the hottest singers lined up to serenade her on her big day – namely Beyonce and our home girl Adele! “America’s First Lady will be holding a huge celebrity-packed party for her birthday at the White House next year and, as she adores Adele and Beyonce, she has asked them both to sing,” a source reportedly told The Daily Mail. “Adele has graciously accepted and waived her usual fee for the high-profile private performance. She will sing a selection of her most-loved hits for the First Lady and her friends.” We wouldn’t be surprised if more singing sensations are added to the list at a later date – we’ll keep you posted with more deets as and when we get them. Who’s excited?

Beyonce for Gucci’s Chime For Change female empowerment campaign

by on 28th February 2013 0 comments

If we had to guess which famous face would head a female empowerment campaign, we would have bet good money that it would be Beyonce. After all, is she not the one who sang about girls running the world? Queen Bey, along with Salma Hayek and Gucci creative director Frida Giannini, have joined forces for the brand’s Chime For Change female empowerment global campaign, whereby they aim to raise money and awareness for worldwide projects for women. “I have always felt strongly about equal opportunity for women,” Beyonce said. “Girls have to be taught from early on that they are strong and capable of being anything they want to be. It’s up to us to change the statistics for women around the world. I’m honoured to be in the company of women who live fearlessly and set an example for the next generation of young ladies.” And speaking of other women, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Jada Pinkett Smith, Sarah Brown and Arianna Huffington are also involved in the campaign, acting as an advisory board of experts. Way to go, ladies – we have every faith that this campaign will be a roaring success! [Image c/o Gucci]

Beyonce dazzles at Life is But a Dream premiere in sparkly Elie Saab

by on 13th February 2013 0 comments

We’ve long regarded Beyonce as one of the biggest and most powerful female music stars of our time, but lately she’s been taking it to a whole new level. Not only did she put on a spectacular show at the Superbowl earlier this month, but she’s also snagged Vogue’s coveted March cover, wowed on the Grammys red carpet in a monochrome Osman jumpsuit, signed a multi-million Pound sponsorship deal with Pepsi, and of course made her very own HBO documentary. We’re pretty sure we missed a few things out but you get the picture. So, given all of Bey’s aforementioned successes, we really didn’t think it could get any better. Until we saw her turn up to the premiere of her Life is But a Dream documentary last night. We don’t think there are enough superlatives in the English dictionary to describe how stunning she looked in her sheer, sparkling gown by Lebanese designer Elie Saab. Now we know why Bey went for the understated look for the Grammys – she was saving the best dress for her own premiere! This dress has everything – it’s sexy, it’s sparkly, it accentuates each and every incredible curve on her body perfectly, and we genuinely cannot fault it. Flawless doesn’t even cut it!

Beyonce wears Givenchy for her second Vogue US cover!

by on 11th February 2013 0 comments

Here’s the March issue we’ve all been waiting for guys. The one and only Miss Beyonce Knowles (or Mrs Carter – whichever you prefer) is posing for Patrick Demarchelier’s camera lens in a stunning monochrome Givenchy piece for her second American Vogue cover. We reckon her second time on the front of the fashion Bible is just as striking and powerful as her first, confirming that the woman can do no wrong. But then again, we pretty much knew this all along. Check out her appearance at last night’s Grammy Awards for proof! Just like her phenomenal pictures in the editorial, Bey’s interview is just as beautiful as it is inspiring. The new yummy mummy opens up about how her little bundle of joy Blue Ivy changed her life, and also talks about her highly anticipated new album among other things. This is definitely one issue of the fashion Bible you won’t want to miss, so make sure you snap up your copy fast before it goes!

Beyonce’s in trouble with PETA over Superbowl outfit

by on 7th February 2013 0 comments

Uh oh… although we were beside ourselves with excitement and shed actual tears of elation when we saw Beyonce perform at The Superbowl on Sunday night, it doesn’t seem like everyone felt the same way. Especially PETA. We don’t think it was Bey’s actual performance that the organisation had a problem with, as it was her costume that was made from python, iguana and cow skin that caused the offence. “We would take a bet that if Beyonce watched our video exposés, she’d probably not want to be seen again in anything made of snakes, lizards, rabbits or other animals who died painfully,” a spokesperson for PETA said. “Today’s fashions are trending toward humane vegan options, and Beyonce’s Super Bowl outfit missed the mark on that score.” The black fur Dior coat she wore after singing at President Obama’s inauguration didn’t go down too well either… “What does it mean when one of the most popular musicians in the world endorses the fur trade in such a dramatic way?” What do you guys reckon? Were you offended by Bey’s outfit? [Telegraph]

Beyonce steals the Halftime Show at the Superbowl 2013

by on 4th February 2013 0 comments

It was the most highly anticipated televised event since the Royal Wedding – or at least it was for us – but last night we finally got to watch the one and only Beyonce entertain the world during the Superbowl’s Half Time Show. And boy was it worth the wait! Not only did Queen Bey blow us away with her high energy dance routines and super-powerful vocal range, but she also surprised us by bringing on her former Destiny’s Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams to confirm their reunion. Basically, it was a lot to cope with in 15 minutes, which is the excuse we’re giving ourselves as we try to justify watching the performance more than 20 times already. And then there was the fashion! Last year Madonna strutted her stuff on the stage in some custom Givenchy, but Miss Knowles, or should we say Mrs Carter, also went for something showstopping don’t you worry about that. She paraded around the stage in two sexy leather outfits by New York designer Rubin Singer, as did Kelly and Michelle when they later joined her on stage. You’ve probably seen the video a handful of times by now, but just in case you want to watch it again, you can check it out below. All together now: “uh uh oh, all the single ladies… now put your hands up!” http://youtu.be/AwYwUs4EQ-0

Beyonce’s Baracci wedding dress goes on sale for $30K

by on 16th January 2013 0 comments

Remember the gorgeous princess-inspired silk Baracci wedding dress that Beyonce donned for her Best Thing I Never Had music video? Watch the video below if you want to refresh your memories. Or if you just want a good power ballad to blare out of your speakers on this chilly Wednesday afternoon; use your computer mouse as a microphone and lip-sync away! We digress… The Swarovski covered ballgown originally came with a $85,000 price tag (we don’t know whether Bea or her team actually paid that much for it, though) but it’s now being sold for “just” $30,000. Still sounds like an eye-watering amount, but not when you realise it’s had a $55,000 reduction. And was draped on Beyonce’s gorgeous body… surely that’s priceless? So, if you’re a US size 4 and have a spare $30K knocking around (or you think this is a good reason to dip into the “rainy day” fund) you can head to preownedweddingdresses.com and snap it up before someone else beats you to it. Tempted? [Style Bistro]

Beyonce for H&M?

by on 14th January 2013 0 comments

We love a good rumour, and nothing really beats what we heard on the grapevine over the weekend: Beyonce might very well be the new face of H&M! Let’s all stop for a minute and absorb how potentially awesome that could be… Queen Bey was spotted in some tropical swimwear on a photoshoot in the Bahamas, but it was her dancer Kimberley Gipson who let the cat out the bag when she tweeted “First day of trial in the Bahamas! H&M all set … go.” Realising her error, she quickly deleted the tweet, so we hope she didn’t get into too much trouble. In true H&M form though, the rumour has been neither confirmed nor denied, but we aren’t too worried as this is exactly what happened when those Lana Del Rey rumours were floating around… and look how true those turned out to be! 2013 is definitely shaping up to be a busy (and lucrative) year for Beyonce – not only does she have that impressive Pepsi deal, but she also has a new album to release with Destiny’s Child, not to mention that Superbowl half-time show to rehearse for! Let’s hope she made the most of her down time in the Bahamas. How cute is the pic she posted with her daughter Blue Ivy? That could be a perfect ad campaign image on its own! [Telegraph]

A nearly naked Beyonce graces GQ’s February issue

by on 10th January 2013 0 comments

The goddess that is Miss Beyonce Knowles is gracing the cover of GQ’s February issue wearing very little, which we bet will please a large percentage of the world’s masculine population. Heck it pleases us too – we don’t think there are many humans on this earth not under Queen Bey’s spell. Beyonce was photographed by Terry Richardson for her debut GQ cover (hard to believe this is her first one!), which we assume got her prepped and ready for her posing-sesh with American Vogue, as it was confirmed that she will be the fashion Bible’s coveted March cover star! On another note, we read that Bey and her sister Solange are big hits with designers, as they not only dry clean the dresses they borrow when they return them, but also leave very grateful thankful notes too. Good manners cost nothing, and we love how Beyonce hasn’t forgotten that despite being one of the biggest superstars in the world. As if we needed another reason to love her!

Beyonce’s ‘Love On Top’ costume goes on sale!

by on 14th December 2012 0 comments

If, like us, you regularly find yourself standing in front of your mirror and shaking your booty to a Beyonce track but have felt somewhat incomplete without a diva outfit to go along with your fine moves, then you’re in luck. The stunning silk gold tuxedo suit that Ms Knowles wears in her incredibly catchy Love On Top video is up for grabs this weekend as part of the Park Avenue Garage charity sale in Manhattan which will raise money for New Yorkers for Children. We reckon the Douglas Hannant suit has a pretty modest price tag of £465 ($750) considering how gorgeous it is and who actually wore it. We don’t recommend rigorous booty shaking in the outfit though as Beyonce reportedly ripped it with her enthusiastic dance moves.   (Don’t worry the sleeves have been sewn back up and it’s ready for a lovely new owner!) We hope it goes to a good home!

Beyonce signs £30 million deal with Pepsi!

by on 11th December 2012 0 comments

We usually think of Diet Coke when it comes to fashionable soft drinks (Jean Paul Gaultier for Diet Coke, anyone?!), but it could be getting some rivalry from Pepsi, as Beyonce has reportedly been signed as the new face of the brand. Good move, Pepsi! Word on the street blogosphere is that Beyonce has pocketed a staggering £30 million to be the brand new face of the drink. Not only will we see Bey pose for the ad campaigns and appear in obligatory video commercials, but we are also going to see her beautiful face on limited edition cans as well, which we think is pretty darn cool. The cans – which will be available worldwide – will reportedly go on sale in March, so not long to wait to get our hands on them! The singer’s role as brand ambassador is said to stretch even further, as live events and “cool photo shoots” are also said to be in the pipeline, which is something Bey is quite excited about. “Pepsi embraces creativity and understands that artists evolve,” she said about the deal. “As a businesswoman, this allows me to work with a lifestyle brand with no compromise and without sacrificing my creativity.” Exciting stuff! And of course it goes without saying that Pepsi will be sponsoring Beyonce’s 2013 tour too! Do you think she will be worth every penny?

First look at Beyonce’s HBO documentary

by on 5th December 2012 0 comments

]Just one week after receiving official confirmation that the Beyonce documentary would indeed be happening, the first teaser trailer has emerged leaving us giddy with excitement. Mrs Bootylicious promised us access to her personal life, and that’s exactly what we’re going to get. It doesn’t look like we’re going to disappointed, as we are already seeing intimate details of Bey’s life that the press hasn’t seen before. Case in point: her pregnancy. Bey’s baby bump, i.e. Blue Ivy’s pre-earth home, can be seen in all its glory in the trailer, which is quite exciting as the singer has kept things quite hush hush about the subject. Roll on February! http://youtu.be/xyBEfWRF90c

Beyonce documentary heading to HBO this February

by on 27th November 2012 0 comments

We are giddy with excitement at the news that Beyonce’s documentary is definitely happening, and will be shown on HBO in less than three months’ time! If we could shake our booties in a Beyonce-like fashion, we would probably be doing that around the office right now as opposed to the usual celebratory star jumps. The bootylicious babe will apparently direct the documentary herself (it’s unclear whether it’s a work in progress or whether the filming and editing is done and dusted) and she’s revealed in a press release that it will be very personal. We are also promised “raw, unprecedented access to the private entertainment icon and high-voltage performances,” which is enough to get anyone excited! The singer has recently released a bunch of photos from her personal album (like the one above) so we’re hoping the documentary follows suit too. Queen Bey will also be performing at the 2013 Super Bowl on February 3rd (remember Madonna’s stint this year?) to truly whet our appetites ahead of the release of the documentary on February 16th. We can never really have too much Beyonce, after all. You looking forward to it as much as we are? Don’t forget, February 16th on HBO – write it in your diaries, although we’ll probably remind you several times before then! [NY Daily News]

Beyonce nails dressed-down chic in J Brand

by on 25th October 2012 0 comments

After two days of looking at red carpet glamour at its finest thanks to the James Bond Skyfall photocall and premiere, we think it’s time to look at some dressed-down glam too. After all, we can’t all strut up and down red carpets everyday, and neither can the A-listers! This Beyonce look is a stellar example of the power of dressing down but still being able to maintain the utmost glamour, sexiness and all-round gorgeousness. The yummy mummy stepped out in New York wearing some great J Brand super-skinny leather leggings, which showed off and complemented her pert posterior perfectly. Eat your heart out Pippa Middleton! Queen Bey was also rocking the sleek ballerina bun like a pro and proved that you can look just as feminine in a pair of black trainers (the wedge ones are all the rage right now!) as you can in some sky-scraping Louboutins. We’ll definitely be taking style inspiration from Beyonce this weekend!

Beyonce and Sarah Jessica Parker design clothes to support Obama

by on 20th September 2012 0 comments

It’s nearly election time in the good old US of A (November 6th, fyi) and it looks like President Obama has got even more celebs on side as part of Anna Wintour’s Runway to Win campaign! Famous faces such as Beyonce and Sarah Jessica Parker have taken it upon themselves to help design pro-Obama clothes and accessories to ensure that the President stays in the White House once again. Beyonce and her mother Tina Knowles have designed some pro Obama baby onesies under their popular House of Deréon label (too cute!) while Sarah Jessica Parker teamed up with Tracy L Cox from Faster Than Paris to design a “Viva Obama” T-shirt. Ricky Martin also got in on the action by designing a tee that reads “Unidos”. Click here to check out all of the pieces, which also include contributions from Diane von Furstenberg, Rachel Zoe, Prabal Gurung and Tory Burch. Who knew politics could be so star-studded and fashionable?!  [Fashionista]

Check out Beyonce’s Glastonbury-inspired House of Deréon ads

by on 24th August 2012 0 comments

We don’t usually associate Glastonbury Festival with beauty and glamour. Sure, there are ways to look stylish with some on-trend wellies and crop tops, but you’d never realistically expect to look like the goddess that is Beyonce at a muddy music festival, would you? Still, that hasn’t stopped Beyonce and photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino from seeking inspiration from Glasto for the autumn/winter 2012 campaign images for House of Deréon, the clothing line Bey works on with her mother Tina Knowles. “The images of Beyoncé are amazing and we had a lot of fun using the festival experience as our inspiration,” Tina said. “Like music, fashion has a universal appeal and we look forward to hearing the consumer’s reaction to the new campaign and to the collection.” Well Tina, let us tell you. Akin to all other Beyonce pics in existence, we think the ads are gorgeous. However, we think it’s a bit unrealistic to aspire to look even an eighth as stunning at a festival as Beyonce does in these pics. Having said that, we don’t mind snapping up a few of the covetable pieces in the new collection and giving it a good go… after all, there’s no harm in trying, is there? We’re all over the high waisted leopard print maxi skirt! [Fashionista]

Beyonce and Jay Z top ‘Highest Paid Celebrity Couples’ list

by on 7th August 2012 0 comments

Last year, ultimate supermodel Gisele Bundchen and American football star hubby Tom Brady topped the Forbes Highest Paid Celebrity Couples list as they collectively earned $72 million, but they couldn’t hold onto their crowns for this year. Instead, least year’s runners up Beyonce and her husband Jay Z have moved up one spot to steal the title, earning a cool $78 million between them. Can we actually just hold on for a second and try to get our heads around that figure?! You’ll be pleased to know that David and Victoria Beckham came third thanks to their combined earnings of $54 million, closely followed by Brangelina, who earned $45 million in the past year. Impressive stuff – we wonder who will reign supreme next year… our money’s on Kim Kardashian and Kanye West! [Forbes]

Is Beyonce making her own documentary?

by on 3rd August 2012 0 comments

We heard on the grapevine that Beyonce  could be following in the footsteps of Justin Bieber and Katy Perry and creating her very own movie documentary…  and we think those rumours just might be true! Queen Bey will apparently direct, produce and of course, star, in her own documentary, which will follow her around as she goes about her business, as well as include interviews with her closest friends and family. It’s reported that the documentary will focus on the release of her 2011 album ‘4’, as well as give viewers an insight into her life with hubby Jay Z and adorable baby Blue Ivy! We know Justin Bieber and Katy Perry’s movie documentaries were immensely popular, but we have a feeling Beyonce’s could very well overtake them both! Thinking of her potential premiere outfits alone has got us ridiculously excited… who’s with us?

Rate or Slate: Monica, M.I.A and Beyonce

by on 19th October 2013 0 comments

This week’s Rate or Slate feature takes us to the BET Awards and the Atelier Versace Couture show. First up at the BET Awards was singer Monica, who provided us with an interesting burgundy trouser-suit with a plunging front and a reverse peplum jacket. Singer M.I.A did Donatella proud and attended the Atelier Versace Couture show in Paris in a full-on Versace ensemble teamed with bold red lips and gold bling. Beyonce wore a very bright Stephane Rolland full-length gown to the BET Awards at the weekend, which she teamed with a full mane of natural, voluminous curls and a smile that lit up the room! What did the Style Jury make of these looks? Amy of Wolf Whistle says: Monica: ‘This cranberry/burgundy combo is in my favourite shades so I’m biased but I think Monica looks gorgeous here. She’s trying but not trying toooooo hard and accessorising with just the most beautiful skin. I’m down with this, even if I couldn’t sit down in it.’ M.I.A: ‘I always think it’s a little bit naff to wear a band tee shirt to that band’s gig but wearing TRIPLE VERSACE to sit front row at Versace Haute Couture is just so incredibly naff that it’s superhypermega cool. Hell yeah, M.I.A.!’ Beyonce: ‘My initial worry for Bouncy was that this outfit was a one-armed, one-legged silk jumpsuit – the HORROR – but I’m fairly sure that it’s a dress. So my worrying moved onto a new worry that her lady areas might be stabbed by that belt when she sits down. Be careful, Bey. Chartreuse is dangerous.’ As the Fashion News Ed, I thought I’d weigh in too… Monica: ‘I’ve said it before and will say it again, I love it when celebs mix it up and wear something other than a […]

Beyoncé and Jay-Z welcome beautiful baby girl named Blue Ivy Carter

by on 8th January 2012 0 comments

She’s here! Yep, Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s much awaited baby girl has arrived and she’s already been dubbed “The most beautiful girl in the world” on twitter by her gushing Aunty Solange. Her name? Blue Ivy Carter. Following in the tradition of many a celeb, the pair have opted for an unconventional name. Thoughts? We love it. According to E!Online the singer went down the C-section route and gave birth to their baby daughter last night at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. Reports state that naturally Jay-Z was by Bey’s side while family and friends waited in a private wing tucking into takeaway food and celebrating with red wine. Well, we must say this is a great way to start 2012 for the Carters. And with the gorgeous Beyoncé and the talented Jay-Z as parents (and not to mention a ton of celeb friends who will no doubt spoil her rotten) Blue Ivy Carter is one seriously lucky girl. A big congratulations from us here at MFL!

Beyonce Knowles must be a really happy bunny right now. Not only is she preggers and glowing but the singer seemed pretty excited with the launch of her line – House of Dereon in Selfridges yesterday. With London in the midst of Fashion Week the launch was timed perfectly! Joining Beyonce and her mother at the opening were Paloma Faith, Rosario Dawson, Eliza Doolittle and more… Guests were treated to a taster of the collection via a catwalk show, while Beyonce looked fab in a sequined suit. Now, it’s no secret that we’re not particularly House of Dereon fans, however featuring printed wrap and baby doll dresses, jumpsuits and mini skirts, the collection does hold something for everyone.

Beyonce is a sparkling success on the FROW

by on 15th September 2011 0 comments

Beyoncé rarely puts a fashion foot wrong when it comes to style, so, when we saw this pic of the singer and her sister Solange attending the J Crew show at New York Fashion Week, we were delighted to see the newly-pregnant Bey working the metallic trend for the season. And boy, does she work it well. Beyoncé proves that when it comes to sequinned metallics, it’s best to downplay the accessories. She steers clear of jewellery and opts for simple nude heels and effortless waves for an easy-elegant vibe. And, with its beautiful draping and under-the-bust belt, the Beyoncé baby bump is perfectly concealed. Full points to our fave bootylicious mama for still working the trends full throttle. But what do you think?  [poll id=”201″]

Beyonce’s busting out the designer labels in Paris

by on 2nd May 2011 0 comments

If you didn’t know Paris was the style capital of the world, you could have made a darn good guess after Beyonce’s visit last week. On a brief break in the City of Light with hubby Jay-Z, the couple made more than their fair share of rare public appearances doing regular things like eating and shopping, but they mixed it with some irregular stuff that only the rich can do like wear a different designer outfit every day from collections that aren’t even available yet and pose for upcoming issues of fashion glossies (she’s wearing Gucci for Harper’s Bazaar above, FYI). Good old Bey, when she’s back, she sure as hell lets you know it. See below for five of the fab outfits she showcased on her trip, and tell us which is your favourite look in the poll below. Isabel Marant AW10 We already raved about Beyonce’s printed silk dress from Isabel Marant’s AW10 collection, which she expertly paired with McQueen fishbone platforms and a black crocodile Balmain bag, but it’s well worth a second mention here. Roland Mouret Next outing, next outfit, this time a black dungaree romper by Roland Mouret teamed with artfully messy hair and a pair of strappy platforms for a chic stroll along the streets. Marc Jacobs AW11 Taking a decidedly lady-like direction, Bey opted for a green and red polka dot dress from Marc Jacobs’ AW11 collection to celebrate Easter, this time swapping statement footwear for a pair of classic Louboutin pumps and her trusty Balmain bag. Isabel Marant AW11 Another look from Isabel Marant, this time a dusty pink leather jacket from the French label’s AW11 collection that she teamed with casual cargo shorts and those Daffodil Louboutins for a sleek everyday look (save the 6.5 inch heels). Balmain Probably our least […]
