Well, isn't this a turn up for the books. It appears that my earlier musings that Beyonce's maternity style would be better than her usual style seems to be playing out. I am not sure if it is simply relying on a less tightly-fitted silhouette that is doing it, or if she is working harder at it, or simply that maternity wear suits her more, but the irony is that she has never looked so hot. There I said it.
After showing her and her mum's line, House of Dereon, at London Fashion Week, Beyonce has continued her non-stop schedule to launch her new fragrance, called Pulse. In two appearances in the last 24 hours, she wore, first, a gorgeous blue spangly mini tunic dress and jacket by Roberto Cavalli. Tell me this isn't super-hot? Short, short showing off her legs, but keeping everything else loose and covered up — remember you can wear short, tight and shiny — just NEVER all at the same time. By keeping the garments loose, Beyonce looks better than ever.

And then she strode out in this incredible white, feathered, halter-neck Lanvin dress at the Macy's launch. And those shoes. Seriously. How awesome? And how much better than those vacuum-tight fish-tail dresses she usually wears when going long. Honestly, it's like we can all breathe out now. So much happier. Looking forward to the next few months of this, aren't you?
