Radiant Beyonce returns to chic maternity wear after creating a buzz with a playful Halloween costume

It was back to business for Beyonce today following Halloween festivities in New York last night.
The radiant 30-year-old was spotted arriving at her office this morning in a chic and stylish outfit which included an animal print scarf, red jacket and jeans.
The pregnant singer, who is due in February, topped of the look with an unusual pair of high-heeled boots.
She looked in high spirits after a fun night the previous evening, where she joined friends for Halloween fun.

Teaming her puffed-out gilet with some striking bee-striped heels, Beyonce's eye-catching outfit made her unmissable as she left the Darby restaurant in New York.
The star showed off her toned legs in some very brief black shorts, and completed her outfit with a cute antennae headband.
Beyonce avoided anything clingy to show her changing figure too clearly, having recently sparked questions due to her bump's marked absence from her latest music video, Party.

Not to be outdone, Hilary Duff, who is due to give birth to a baby boy in March, went undercover in a burglar's outfit alongside her husband, NHL star Mike Comrie, last night.
The pair matched their ensembles almost exactly, both wearing black and white striped tops, black trousers, black woolie beanies and painted-on black eye masks.
As a further touch, 24-year-old Hilary carried a brown bag with a large dollar sign drawn onto it.

She also sported black face paint on her nose and forehead in honour of the occasion.
Meanwhile Jessica Simpson has finally confirmed what everyone's been thinking - she is indeed pregnant.
The 31-year-old reality star has just made an official announcement on her website. She wrote a short message, telling her fans: 'It's true, I am going to be a mummy.'
The former singer, who is engaged to NBA star Eric Johnson, also comically dressed up in a mummy Halloween outfit in a photograph to accompany the announcement, while cradling her bump.

And mother of two Jennifer Garner plumped for a witches costume, putting on a purple and black hat cape over a black dress which showed off her blossoming baby bump.
Braided hair and oversized sunglasses completed the look as she headed to pick up daughters Seraphina and Violet from school in Los Angeles today.

Pregnant Beyoncé dons barely there swimsuit for her Party music video... but where's her baby bump?
That's certainly not maternity wear! Pregnant Beyoncé dons barely there swimsuit for her Party music video... but where's her baby bump?

She might be expecting her first child but Beyoncé's style in her new video is anything but mumsy.
In fact, the singer has donned a series of barely-there ensembles, for her latest video.
Beyoncé invited J.Cole, who performs on the track, her Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland and her sister Solange to appear in the celebrations.
And just one week after debuting her boy-band tribute video for Love on Top, Beyoncé is back with the Party video but one very big thing is noticeably missing.
Where's the bump? Beyoncé gets racy in the video for her new single, Party
The 30-year-old starlet shows no signs of her pregnancy in the video for her J. Cole remix of Party, which debuted tonight on BET's 106 & Park.
In the video, which was shot in August, just before she announced her pregnancy at the MTV VMA's, the mother-to-be has a few cocktails, wears a skimpy, hot pink bathing suit and generally parties like a rock star.
Her outfits get racier and racier in each shot as she prances around playing party host in a slew of outfits ranging from a skimpy yellow tank top and underwear to a leopard print leotard to a crocheted bikini.
Her sister Solange, 25, plays DJ in the video, spinning sweet tunes presumbably sung by her famous older sibling.
Her former Destiny's child bandmate and current X-Factor UK judge Kelly Rowland also makes an appearance.

Chef B: Beyoncé fries you up a party surprise but her baby bump remains out for view in the video
J. Cole shows up midway through the song in his glittering car to rap on the track.
There is a rational explanation for the fact that Beyoncé is bumpless in Party.
Her fans learned there would be a clip back in August, when she was spotted shooting in New Jersey's Oakdale Mobile Home Park.
She has also shot various other videos from her album, 4, including: Love on Top, Countdown, 1+1, Run the World (Girls) and Best Thing I Never Had.

Errr....The Love on Top singer seems to be overly stimulated in this photo
Still, it isn't the image a woman embarking on motherhood is typically likely to present to the world, but then, nothing about Beyoncé's pregnancy has been typical.
She's become a fashionista for the mummy crowd, wearing skimpy skirts, plunging necklines and sky-high heels while carefully hiding her bump.
However, lately she's been keen to show off her bump after being at the centre of claims that she wore a fake bump for a television appearance, earlier this month.

Her representatives quickly dismissed the reports as 'stupid, ridiculous and false' - but not before footage of her sporting an apparent 'squished' bump on Australian TV became a YouTube hit.
Viewers noted how at one point the cameras appeared to show Beyoncé's bump being squashed as she sits down.
During the interview to promote her new album, 4, she revealed she is due to give birth in February, adding that she feels 'grateful' and 'blessed' to be expecting her first child.

The footage promoted speculation on gossip websites that she is wearing a prosthetic bump.
U.S. blog Media Takeout was the first to highlight the peculiar moment, citing it as 'evidence' she is exaggerating the look of her bump.

Other news outlets also weighed in, with The Washington Post calling it 'weird' while ABC News asks: 'Is Beyoncé's bump as big as she’d have us believe?'
It even triggered wild 'conspiracy theories' that she was faking her pregnancy while a surrogate mother carries her baby.
However, the claim carries little logic considering she was photographed wearing a bikini on September 6 while holidaying in Croatia and sporting a visible bump.

Beyoncé reveals plans for maternity fashion line ~ Harper's Bazaar
'I love figuring out designs that still make me feel edgy and sexy': Beyoncé reveals plans for maternity fashion line

The announcement of her pregnancy sent Twitter into near meltdown. Now Beyoncé has revealed that she is to harness some of that media interest by designing a maternity fashion line.
The star, 30, who is expecting her first child with husband Jay-Z in February, says she will be expanding her House of Deréon fashion label to include bump-friendly pieces.
In a new interview with U.S. Harper's Bazaar, she said: 'All I see now are clothes that are flattering on a pregnant woman.

'It's been so exciting for me! I love figuring out designs that still make me feel edgy and sexy while pregnant. Flowy fabrics are always flattering - but I still rock my stilettos.'
The singer, who appears on two different covers for the magazine's November issue, admitted that dressing to both hide and reveal her pregnancy over the past few months had been fun.
But deciding what to wear to make the announcement was an epic task - the orange Lanvin gown she chose was one of 70 she considered.
Designs on pregnancy: The star, who wears a shimmering Reed Krakoff dress on the second cover, says she loves coming up with maternity creations that make her feel edgy and sexy
'I put a lot of thought into how I wanted to unveil it,' she explained. 'It was important to me that I was able to do it myself. I was extremely nervous. It was the toughest red carpet I ever did.
'I didn't want a crazy picture or gossip story to break the news, so I decided to say nothing and proudly show my baby bump. I felt it was more powerful to see the love and enthusiasm as opposed to saying anything.'
Of course, for Beyoncé, there is no shortage of designers prepared to loan her clothes - she counts Tom Ford and Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci among her personal friends.
And her stylist, Ty Hunter, is always on hand - even helping her put together outfits for her days off.

The singer, who is usually very guarded about discussing her decade-long relationship, also spoke about Jay-Z, describing their 'unbreakable friendship'.
'We have been together since I was 20 years old...' she said. 'I respect him so much; he is a great man and a great artist.'
She continued: 'We focused three years on our marriage and found that it brought us an even stronger bond and connection... The best thing about marriage is the amount of growth you have because you can no longer hide from your fears and insecurities.
Bump in the spotlight: The star says dressing to show off her pregnancy over the past six weeks has been fun
'There’s someone right there calling you out on your flaws and building you up when you need the support. If you are with the right person, it brings out the best version of you.'
Now, she says, she is more ready than ever to be a mother.
'It was important to me that I gave myself time to focus on becoming the woman I want to be, building my empire, my relationship, and my self-worth, before I became a mother,' she said. 'Now God has blessed us with the ultimate.'

Beyoncé Knowles has sparked rumours she wore a fake baby bump for an appearance on an Australian television show.
The 30-year-old singer gave an interview to local TV personality Molly Meldrum on the Sunday Night program and now YouTube video of the show is coming under scrutiny.
At one point - around the 57 second mark - the cameras appear to show Beyoncé’s bump being squashed and moving as she sits down.

And it has even trigged wild 'conspiracy theories' that she is faking her pregnancy while a surrogate mother carries her baby.
However, the claim carries little logic considering she was photographed wearing a bikini on September 6 while holidaying in Croatia.
Of course, the material of her dress may simply be creating the illusion.
There have been simmering rumours about Beyoncé's form for some time.
Online bloggers accused her of wearing a padded belly to the MTV Video Music Awards in August in an effort to make her pregnancy revelation 'more dramatic'.
She made a point of flaunting her bump on the red carpet in an orange Lanvin gown and later rubbed it dramatically during a performance on stage.

Mixing business with pleasure: Beyoncé tells Harper's Bazaar that she is planning to launch a maternity line
While she is yet to address the faux baby bump claims, she did speak about her public pregnancy announcement during an interview with the new Harper's Bazaar.
She said: 'I put a lot of thought into how I wanted to unveil it. It was important to me that I was able to do it myself.
'I was extremely nervous. It was the toughest red carpet I ever did... I decided to say nothing and proudly show my baby bump. I felt it was more powerful to see the love and enthusiasm as opposed to saying anything.'
She also said she waited to start a family with husband Jay-Z so that she could concentrate on her career.
'It was important to me that I gave myself time to focus on becoming the woman I want to be, building my empire, my relationship, and my self-worth, before I became a mother,' she said.
'Now God has blessed us with the ultimate.'
And of course, she is seizing the opportunity to turn her pregnancy into a money spinner by launching her own maternity line.
A spokesperson for Beyoncé did not immediately respond to a request for comment when contacted by Mail Online.
