The Beybies have made their Instagram debut! Late last night Beyoncé posted a sequel to her Internet-breaking pregnancy announcement with another instantly iconic selfie that showed off her month-old twins Sir and Rumi Carter—both basking in her supernatural new mom glow.
Leave it to Queen Bey to extend pregnancy s most welcome beauty benefit well after giving birth. Shot against the Malibu sea and a flower arch of fresh roses, the snap shows the superstar proudly holding her twins while bathed in golden hour light, an amalgam of painterly references casting the singer as a modern-day Venus and serene earth mother at once. A long cascade of sunbleached caramel waves billowing in the seaside breeze nod to Botticelli s divine muse, while whisper light dabs of nude makeup set off her lit-from-within skin. The finishing strokes on her portrait of motherly bliss: a flash of taught abs and gleaming, well-moisturized legs peeking out from yards of colorfully print fabric.
It s not the first time that Mrs. Carter has scooped the paparazzi with a carefully art-directed coup. Having elevated the art of the baby bump reveal on Instagram in February, the notoriously private singer followed up with a history-making Grammy s performance in full gilded Madonna regalia and a halo-like gold crown topping her waist-grazing curls. And considering her Instagram is nothing if not an ode to mommy-and-me dressing, it s only a matter of time until all three make a shining social media return.
