Beyoncé’s Post-Baby Body Is the Definition of #BodyGoals

Can we be honest for a moment? Beyoncé’s body is lit. Sure, it’s always been damn near flawless, but recently the singer-songwriter gave a new definition to #bodygoals when she flaunted a super flat tummy almost two months after giving birth to twins.

In photos posted to the singer’s official website Wednesday, Aug. 9, Bey stands with curly blonde hair and a custom handbag by Mediumrare Product reading, “It’s Not Yours” in tow. Yes, Bey we know that amazing post-baby body isn’t ours (even in our wildest dreams) but do you have to throw it in our face?

And it gets better. The mother of twins Rumi and Sir Carter and Blue Ivy Carter posed in a cropped yellow Fila branded t-shirt and ripped shorts by Coal n Terry Vintage, along with a cameo jacket by Mistress Rocks. Her belly is visibly toned as she stands with her hand in hair in DSquared boots. Clearly, she’s given new life to ‘MILF.’

The singer saw her “Freedom” collaborator Kendrick Lamar’s concert in Los Angeles Sunday, Aug. 6, UsWeekly reported. Bey, along with her cousin Angie Beyince, Blue, husband Jay-Z and pal Kelly Rowland were tapped jamming along to Lamar’s hits like “Alright” and “Humble.”

Online, fans couldn’t stop fawning over the images. And, to be honest, we don’t blame them.

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.
