Beyonce camouflages her bump for NYFW: cute or attention-seeking?
These are new photos of Beyonce at New York Fashion Week today, Tuesday. Bey and her sister Solange were photographed at the Vera Wang show. Okay… shall we talk about her bump? I understand that her bump might be expertly camouflaged by this tiny little babydoll, empire-waist bubble dress, but Beyonce’s bump still looks somehow… different/smaller than it looked at the VMAs, a little more than two weeks ago.
So let’s talk conspiracy theories. Immediately after the VMAs, some Bey-haters were throwing shade on the bump, claiming that it was just an old-fashioned pillow. Many of us noted that just a few weeks before the VMAs, Beyonce had been wearing skin-tight costumes that didn’t reveal any kind of bump. Then, last week Media Takeout reported that a “top industry insider†said that Beyonce was definitely wearing a prosthetic belly. The insider claims that Bey is definitely pregnant, but that she’s still in her first trimester, about eight or nine weeks along, and that “She wanted the announcement to be dramatic, so she made sure she had a baby bump.†Then, just over the weekend, paparazzi got shots of Bey and Jay on holiday - Bey was wearing a bikini, and her bump looked different there too. She had some swelling in her abdomen, but it didn’t really look like the prominent “bump†she had at the VMAs.
And now these photos… maybe I’m just mistaking the actual bump for netting and fabric. Maybe Beyonce just knows how to mask her bump (even when she’s wearing a ‘kini?!?). Maybe I should stop the Beyonce hatin’. But I really do wonder what’s up.
Oh, and I hate the bubble dress. Her face looks good (tweaked, but okay), but the dress with the exposed leg… it makes her look tacky.

If the dress went to the netting line and the netting went longer I would absolutely love this dress. It is too short. And those heels scare me!!!
I would be afraid to fall!

The cut of the “dress†and shoes is not doing her legs any favors. Its a very strange look.

I always wanted to party with the popular girls but I could never come up with something as cool as “…throwing shade on the bump…â€. You A-List Hollywood gossip gals deserve your ranking.

OH JEEZ there is no baby bump mystery. It’s called Spanx. Beyonce is and shall remain a master at Spanx.

They are both ridiculous in those outfits !
That ‘thing’ Bey has on is way too short…only toddlers could put wide dresses that short.

I’m sorry, is she on a lost episode of “Toddlers and Tiaras, We’re all grownup nowâ€? Please with that “dressâ€. fug, fug, fug. And I’m not just talking about her thighs.

@mln76 â€" You can’t Spanx down a baby bump. It’s too firm and it would be very uncomfortable.

um…i imagine that her dress isn’t meant for a preggo belly and she’s got it hiked up a bit higher than usual. Other than that…the bubble skirt looks awful and accentuates the fact that girl has some thick thighs.
Solange looks good by comparison…color blindness and all.

The hem for her bubble dress hits at a wide part of her thighs. It makes her look chunky. Should have been a bit longer.

What’s the problem with thick thighs? She should be scrawny and looked malnourished? Is that what you’re saying?

her new new nose job is good and why did she forget her pants?
it must be hard to be Solange

She is about to become someone’s mother, she needs to stop constantly flashing her ’secret garden’

Black men actually appreciate thick thighs on their Black women. So I think Jay-Z doesn’t mind them. Check out Bossip, they have an article dedicated to the glorious thighs of several Black female entertainers.

those other websites accusing her of faking a bump are riduculous! up until I was 20 weeks pregnant, I would wake up in the morning and look very flat, and would look more and more pregnant as the day went on.

Yes…I totally agree w/@Amanda & @Julia. I think they both look tacky and ridiculous….GAUDY..the both of them.
They need to book it back home & go back to the drawing board & re-think their fashion choices/taste.

Miss Kitty, Mike’s cannolis are good, but the Modern’s are SO MUCH better! Now I want one too. I wish I still live in MA

So are you telling me that no one projectile-vomited at the sight of those shoes?

That skirt is so short- she wants another big reveal, but this time from a different direction…. Jeez.

That is one dumb effing outfit!

I’m glad someone else’s mind went where mine did. I totally thought Toddlers and Tiaras. It’s an over the top poofy skirt that is so starched and wide that one’s arms cannot hang straight down.

Do we have to have a conspiracy theory about every single celebrity who gets pregnant? It’s so sixth grade.

It’s obvious she had a prosthetic bump at the VMAs.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
She was probably constipated and bloated at the VMAS, hence the larger bump.

ridiculous - just like serena williams, all money but no class

Anyone commenting on the bump looking bigger or smaller depending on the photo probably has never been pregnant. It’s just so silly.

It is sort of silly, but she is one of those RADIANT pregnant ladies so I think she is pulling it off.
I think Solange looks GREAT â€" I love how she is rocking her natural hair! Hope Beyonce’s wearing a wig and not getting tons of crazy hair chemical treatments during her pregnancy.

Oh Lord, there is nothing cute about that thing she is wearing. Fug x 1000 and that goes for the shoes, too. Look at me! Look at me!!!

This will out me as a science nerd, but…that dress looks like the skull of a baleen whale.
Rule #1 of fashion: your hemline should never look like it can filter krill.

I don’t think there is a conspiracy. When I was pregnant, I didn’t need maternity clothes until my 8th month, and even then it was just pants. Some days I looked pregnant, and some days I didn’t. The days when I did look pregnant were the days when I wore maternity pants, so my guess is she had maternity clothes on at the VMAs, and other days she just knows how to dress to conceal.

Solange actually looks decent for a change. No comment on the Diana Ross hair.

beyonce, dressed dumb as usual. but i’ve never seen her wear a shower scrubber before!
what’s with the awful hair on both of these sisters?
at least solange is dressed well from the shoulders down to those chic pencil pants down to those fetching shoes. i have unkind words for her pedi though.
but beyonce: A LEATHER SHOWER SCRUBBER IS WHAT THAT IS! NOT an outfit.
and those things on her feet look like AN ORTHOPEDIC CRAFT PROJECT made of BANDAIDS, RUBBERBANDS, AND A SOUP LADLE. fashion week is a circus, not about looking good, apparently.

She looks ridiculous, but she seems to do so with such good humour that it passes for me. Except for the shoes. The shoes are really, really bad.

Not everybody has stick-thin mile long legs. My white boyfriend loves my thick thighs, he told me one day when I was complaining about them. So there are white guys that like thick thighs too.

I still cant understand these phantom baby bump conspiracy theories (kelly preston’s, katie holmes’s). I didnt even look pregnant until I was in my 6th month and a lot of my friends couldnt believe it (I am 5′2 so a lot of people thought the bump should be more obvious because of my stature) but every woman’s body is different and you cant measure how far along you are until the last trimester (in general).

hookerish â€" and she does not have legs that can be on display

I honestly don’t believe she’s pregnant. Her album tanked and she needed a gimmick to make her relevant again. Kudos to her for not going the sex tape route though. A fake pregnancy is so much classier.
