Beyonce Won't Let Pregnancy Stop Her Show At Fragrance Launch Party

Beyonce Knowles proves pregnancy is no excuse to not keep things moving as she launches her new fragrance Pulse.

Beyonce arrived at her NYC launch in a short, sparkling blue dress with blazer that more than sufficiently concealed her baby bump showed off her toned legs.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Beyonce explained why she was so excited to have her own fragrance.

“I always meet strong, powerful women and they always have a signature scent,” the 30-year old mommy to be stated. “That is one of the first things I was so proud of. I thought about Diamonds and Elizabeth Taylor and all these icons, so I am so proud of this.”

When asked how her fragrance differs from others Knowles responded;

“This is very fresh. This is all about citrus, but it also has vanilla in the back. It is important for me for a fragrance not to just smell like one thing. I think women are interesting and I don’t like for you to be like, Ok, this smells like this. I like for it to be something signature and something that brings out your inner beauty and your confidence and makes you feel like you leave a long-lasting impression”

Beyonce, who is infamous for her privacy, recently spoke candidly in an interview with CNN about how excited she was now that she is able to openly express her delight in being pregnant.

“I am having so much fun, it has been the most fun time now that [my pregnancy] has been announced. It was really difficult to conceal”

She continued;

“Now that I can be proud and excited about it, I’m having so much fun shopping. It’s great”

Beyonce, who has yet to reveal her due date, is allegedly somewhere between 3 and 4 months pregnant. Although I applaud her determination and insistence to keep working; I hope as the pregnancy moves along she takes a little time off to truly enjoy the experience.

Congratulations Bey!

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
