Beyonce Shares Weight Loss Secret And Her Love For Kitten Heels

Beyonce Knowles must have sensed a collective side eye from everyone who saw her towering in stilettos just days before giving birth to Blue Ivy Carter. LOL! Jay Z’s wife of four years comes clean about rocking five inch Louboutins while sporting a baby bump, being comfortable in fully mommy mode, and breastfeeding.

People’s Magazine Most Beautiful Woman unveils her sensitive side and admits she just wanted to feel good about herself throughout her pregnancy and vowed to stay in heels.

“I committed to the end and wore my kitten heels. It makes me laugh thinking about it,” she recalled. “But after many hours of labor, I didn’t care how I looked. It was all about the miracle that God gave me — the opportunity to deliver a human being.”

After birthing her beautiful Blue, some ideas the “Love On Top” singer had about feeling sexy aren’t the same.

“I never thought there would be a day when I wouldn’t wear heels. Now that I have a child, I walk around holding her all day, I’m buying loafers and oxfords. I love them, because they’re comfortable,” she says. “And shorter heels too. I’d always thought, ‘The higher the heel, the sexier.’ But now I’m like, ‘These are really sexy.’”

We’re sure that Jay cosigning her cute loafers is a plus too: “[Jay-Z] loves it when I wear flat shoes, which is surprising – he never saw me in flats before! He likes me more natural – just the relaxed, natural me.”

We may finally understand why Blue Ivy often appears out with a blanket over her head,

Though she’s over the hoopla of heels, the 30-year-old is delighted to have a handle on her weight which she credits to breastfeeding her three-month-old daughter for ten weeks.

“I’m proud that my waist came back so fast. … I had to get my tone back. I’m definitely softer,” she said. “But I feel my body bouncing back. Whatever was tight and muscular, like my legs, I’m seeing it come back. You just have to work at it.”

Bey seems so at peace with herself – it’s beautiful she’s willing to share this phase of her life with her fans.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
