For anyone who thinks that luminous skin, impossibly shiny hair, and ample cleavage are benefits that come before giving birth, Beyoncé is here to let everyone know that there s no beauty secret quite like new-mom bliss. Three months after giving birth to twins Rumi and Sir, the singer and Jay-Z hit Rihanna s Diamond Ball in New York City last night with a pared-down look that was made for date night.
The singer, who has turned high-impact nude makeup into a way of life, ditched her usual smoked eyes and beige lips for gilded lids and and an easy slick of lip gloss, a surprisingly powerful combination that not only made her post-baby glow sing, but spoke to a new kind of confidence—one that can do without transformative heaps of eyeshadow, especially when every precious off-duty minute counts. While hardly a five-minute pre-game routine, Queen Bey s look, cascading waves and all, let her plunging wrap dress do most of the bombshell work along side Jay-Z s crisp tux. Here s to the happy couple—and their first post-baby night out on the town.
