And Beyoncé
has surrendered the comfort of Jay-Z's baggy T-shirts for a simply striking red
dress to showcase her enviable figure without a hint of an unwanted lump or
bump.
The Crazy In
Love star, who gave birth to the couple's first child Blue Ivy Carter exactly a
month ago on January 7, embraced her voluptuous silhouette and smiled proudly
as she paraded her curves.
The
mother-of-one opted for an elegant Alice Temperley cocktail dress, teamed with
Ofira & Lorraine Schwartz jewels, a quirky Alexander McQueen clutch bag and
a pair of sparkly Christian Louboutin heels.
Jay-Z, 42,
couldn't resist a gushy dedication to his daughter, telling the audience: 'Put
a hand in the air for Blue,' before belting out Glory, which he wrote
especially for the one-month-old.
Not only did
he deliver with songs Public Service Announcement, Thank You and Most Kingz, he
was also joined by Alicia Keys for a rendition of their epic anthem Empire
State of Mind.
He also told
the sea of admirers he had 'a beautiful time', praising the crowd for looking
'exquisite'.
But despite
changing into the ghetto attire, Jay-Z may be accused of 'selling out' after
signing up to star in the first ever television advert for his own Rocawear
label in order to boost sales.
A host of
famous faces showed their support, with models Jessica White and Brookyln
Decker turning up, alongside the legendary Liza Minnelli in an oversized
Cruella De Vil-inspired winter coat.

'dream.'

neutral tones.
In her
interview with the fashion and beauty magazine, Mendes also discusses body
image.
She reveals
that like many teenagers, she endured struggles with the way that she looked.
'I feel it’s
important to let women know that I have similar struggles. What I tell girls is
what they don’t like about themselves now, they will probably end up loving as
an adult, because that’s what happened to me.
'When I am
complimented on things that I didn’t like when I was 13, like my overbite and
my mole, that’s when you realize that your imperfections are why people love
you.'
As well as
gushing about her boyfriend, Mendes also coos about her two biggest Hollywood
idols, Julianne Moore and Annette Bening.
'I have a
girl crush on them. I’d kill to have half the careers they’ve had after 40,'
she says.
