Beyoncé Knowles Fashion Look Book: Pre & Post Blue Ivy (PHOTOS)

Babyoncé

Only Beyoncé could make pregnancy look like a walk in the park, stepping out in everything from a $10,000 crocodile purse and a white-fringed Lanvin dress before she had her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, in January. And since then, she’s stayed strong: sky-high Nicholas Kirkwood heels, Alexander McQueen bags, and Victoria Beckham dresses. See our complete Beyoncé look book, before and after Blue Ivy, here.
