Mom to be Beyonce Knowles graces the cover of Harper’s Bazaar November issue. She talks marriage, maternity clothing line and how she revealed her pregnancy on the VMA’s. The pop star is expecting her first child with husband Jay-Z in February and is looking oh so glamorous! Let’s take a look at some of the excerpts from the interview in the magazine below:
On pregnancy: “It was important to me that I gave myself time to focus on becoming the woman I want to be, building my empire, my relationship, and my self-worth, before I became a mother. Now God has blessed us with the ultimate.”
On revealing her pregnancy at the VMAs: “I put a lot of thought into how I wanted to unveil it. It was important to me that I was able to do it myself … I didn’t want a crazy picture or gossip story to break the news, so I decided to say nothing and proudly show my baby bump. I felt it was more powerful to see the love and enthusiasm as opposed to saying anything.”
On hubby Jay-Z: “We have been together since I was 20 years old. We took our time and developed an unbreakable friendship before we got married. I admire his ability to inspire others. To me, Jay represents the American dream. Jay’s music has helped define our generation. All that he has overcome and worked to achieve gives millions hope that they can become whatever they want to be. I respect him so much; he is a great man and a great artist.”
On how she picks her outfits: “I like to show my waistline and legs. I feel women should find their best features and accentuate them but it’s interesting to be versatile. I let my mood dictate what I wear before my curves. Sometimes I feel classic, sometimes I feel like a hipster. Sometimes I feel like a seductress and sometimes I feel like a tomboy. It’s great to be a woman and have the freedom to express my emotions through fashion.”
