Everybody, meet Blue Ivy! Beyonce and Jay-Z post first snaps of their baby daughter

The world was anticipating her arrival for weeks and now we have the first snaps of Blue Ivy Carter.

Beyonce and her husband Jay Z posted snaps of their adorable baby girl, who already has an impressive full head of hair.

In one snap the singer is seen smiling into the camera while she cradles her daughter in her arms.

The proud parents set up a blog that shows the intimate family snaps along with a message.

It read: 'We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in out lives. The Carter Family.'

But it seems Beyonce has been lavishly pampered by Jay-Z following the birth of their firstborn last month, with the singer sporting a chunky piece of bling which she was given as a 'push present'.

Her rapper husband is believed to have bought the blue ring, in honour of their daughter's name, in a tradition that sees new fathers reward the mother after she gives birth to their child.

Ever the fashionista, the large jewel was coordinated with Beyonce's blue nail polish as she made her second public appearance since becoming a mother on January 7.

Her first 'stepping out' was the previous evening on Monday night as she showcased her post-baby curves in a red Alice Temperley cocktail dress, which was undeniably striking.

 Dip It Low! Christina Milian slips her fabulous figure in fitted purple dress with plunging mesh back;

She has just scored a job on the hit reality talent contest The Voice after not having a top ten hit since 2004.

And Christina Milian was well and truly back in the limelight last night as she stepped on the red carpet at the Delta Air Lines Celebrates LA's Music Industry event at The Getty House.

The 30-year-old paraded her fabulous figure in a fitted purple dress with daring plunging mesh back.

Letting the eye-popping attire do all the talking, the Dip It Low star kept her accessories minimal by wearing a pair of plain black heels and some colourful bracelets on her arm.

She also wore hair in high ponytail and neutral make-up on her complexion.

Christina was joined by a handful of other stars at the event, including a pregnant Kristin Cavallari.

 The 24-year-old reality star showed off a tiny baby bump in short black sequined mini-skirt paired with a chic black satin camisole and black blazer.

She finished off the sophisticated look with a Chanel handbag and platform stilettos.

Meanwhile British singer Estelle looked gorgeous in a multi-toned grey pleated dress with bright coral detailing.

 She balanced the low-cut neckline with a heavily bejeweled collar necklace and wore some sparkly black stilettos.

Christina has made no bones about how happy she is to be working on hit show The Voice.

With four of the biggest names in music already working on the show as judges, viewers last week were surprised to hear that she had joined the team.

The singer, who has not had a top ten hit in the US since 2004 with Dip It Low, was announced as the newest face to sign up for season two of the new series.

She is the new social media correspondent for the show which we presume means she will follow comments made by fans of the show via social network sites like Facebook and Twitter.

She told MTV News that she was excited to work on the show and got the gig because of her active profile on Twitter.

 She said: 'I'm heavily involved on Twitter, have always been involved with my Internet fanbase and find that that's the best way to connect with the fans.

'I got a call one day and met up with everyone at NBC and the folks from 'The Voice,' and next thing you know, a week later, I'm signing a contract and the following week I'm working.'

Milian, who still dreams of becoming a big star herself, is a huge fan of the show and has watched it many times thinking that the contestants remind her of herself.

 She told MTV: 'This show is about music, it's about talent, and it's about this passion and this dream of becoming a star.

'Still to this day, every day that I wake up, I have that same dream, so to be involved with the show, [it's amazing] to watch what they incorporate and how the coaches act as advisers and mentors to the artists and really truthfully help them and push them and want them to be the best so they can win.'

She added: 'There have been so many moments where I've thought, 'That's me on that stage! I remember that time.'
