Beyonce Knowles stole the show at the Costume Institute Gala Benefit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in her racy Givenchy Haute Couture dress

She's famous for her hit Single Ladies, but Beyoncé Knowles clearly adores being a family woman. The singer gave birth to her and husband Jay-Z's first child, daughter Blue Ivy, in January, and she is already planning to have more babies.
She said: 'I definitely want to have more. I don't know how many. God knows, I don't know yet.'

But in the meantime, Beyoncé is gearing up to make a career comeback. 
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the Single Ladies hitmaker added: 'I've been rehearsing, I have a show coming up and it's my first show in a year. I have such a full life. I feel like now I know the reason that I was born.'
Beyoncé has certainly bounced back after giving birth four months ago and showed off her trim figure at the Met Costume Institute Gala in New York last night in a Givenchy Haute Couture dress.
The sheer theatrical creation featured a purple feathered tail as long as a wedding dress train.

She recently revealed breast-feeding and a strict diet and exercise regime helped her to shift the extra pounds put on during her pregnancy.
She explained: 'I lost most of my weight from breast-feeding and I encourage women to do it; it's just so good for the baby and good for yourself.
'I counted calories. I worked out maybe three to four times a week. I did a lot walking in the beginning and now I'm running. But I had to work my way up. I couldn't just go right from being pregnant to running.'
