The baby boom is well and truly here.
Last year a huge amount of celebrities, namely Victoria Beckham and Natalie Portman, gave birth.
However, over the weekend a new yummy mummy joined the baby crew and that’s of course Beyonce who gave birth to a little girl Ivy Blue Carter.
We’ve therefore decided to revise our list of celebrity mums and draw up a new top five.
Victoria Beckham makes the list for her style throughout her pregnancy and after the birth, while Natalie Portman also makes the grade as a result of her fab maternity wear.
See the gallery below for the top five celebrity yummy mummies.

Beyonce Knowles’ house is a “no-TV zone” over the festive period.
The ‘Halo’ hitmaker is currently expecting her first child with husband Jay-Z and the couple are both so busy during the year that they prefer to focus on quality family time over Christmas rather than relaxing in front of the TV.
Beyonce said: “I will be with family. We are both so busy throughout the year that Christmas is just a time to relax with family and count the many blessings in your life.
“Christmas Day is a no-TV zone. We just like to sit and talk together as a family.”
Although she refused to reveal what she will buy her husband, the singer can’t wait to purchase lots of gifts for their unborn baby.
She said: “I can’t say, it has to be a surprise! Seriously, though, we both keep seeing super-cute stuff for the baby, so I am sure even our presents for each other will involve the baby in some way!
“Also Kelly [Rowland] has been so busy buying gifts for the baby, I think she might forget to buy for me this year! She is always seeing cute gifts for the baby in London.”

Beyonce Knowles was terrified people would realise she was pregnant before she was ready to announce it.
The ‘(Run the World) Girls’ hitmaker and her rapper husband Jay-Z are expecting their first child together in February and while Beyonce revealed the good news at the end of August, she was sure people would guess her secret when she played a series of concerts in New York earlier that month.
Speaking at the New York screening for her new concert DVD ‘Beyonce Live at Roseland’, she said: “The whole time I definitely was thinking, ‘Everyone knows, everyone can see.’
“When you’re pregnant, it’s a little bit harder to breathe, so it was hard doing all the choreography and singing at the same time.”
Although Beyonce managed to keep her pregnancy a secret until she was ready to reveal it, her Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland recently accidently let it slip that the singer is expecting a little girl.
She said: “I’m so happy for my sister and her husband. They’re so happy in this moment right now, as they should be. They’ve made a little bundle of love, I’m so excited for them.
“I have no idea what I’m going to buy Beyonce at the baby shower because Jay is going to buy that little girl every single thing possible. She won’t be spoilt but she will be very well looked-after.
“I’ll be on hand for babysitting duties and I’m actually very good with messy diapers!”

Beyonce Knowles is not nervous about being a mother.
The 30-year-old singer is expecting her first baby with husband Jay-Z – who she married in April 2008 – and feels “blessed” that everything in her personal life is going well.
In an interview with new! magazine, she said: “It’s going really well, I am so happy with everything right now.
“I am not nervous because I know it’s happening at the right time. I felt I got married at the right time for me, and now we are having the baby at the right time. I feel like we didn’t rush anything, and now we are being blessed with everything naturally.”
Beyonce has also praised Jay-Z – whose real name is Shawn Carter – describing him as her “best friend” and says she can always rely on him for support in every part of her life.
She said: “He is my best friend, and I am so blessed to have him as my husband. We have been together since I was 20, and he is my rock during everything.”

Katy Perry looked pretty and girlish with her new pink 'do in a chinoise-style dress and a pastel blue parasol
Whether you watched the VMAs on Saturday night or not, it’s always fun to have a peep at what the stars wore to one of the USA’s biggest A-list events.
Katy Perry, who came away smiling like the cat got the cream with three awards, went through more than one outfit change but our absolute favourite quirky Katy look for the night has to be the girlish Eastern-style powder blue chinoise dress, which looked cute and cartoonish with her pink hair and a matching pastel-coloured parasol.
As we all now know, Beyonce glowed with new-baby happiness all the way down the red carpet in a sizzling one-shouldered, draped orange maxi with her hair swept to one side, vintage-style. We loved her chandelier earrings too – pure 70s Halston glamour. Meanwhile, our favourite home-grown talent Adele also rocked a look from a different decade as she went for a clinging black midi-dress with huge 60s hair and makeup. Perfect.
Katie Holmes sassed it out on the red carpet with expertly teased waves and a black lace skater dress and tan suede wedge boots, while poor old Jessie J still looked sexy and upbeat despite her crutches in a jewelled black corset-body and a pair of white jewelled Bebaroque tights.
To see all these celebs and more, check out the gallery above to see who we spotted at the VMAs.

In fifth place: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart
Forbes have just released a “who’s who” rich list of the wealthiest celebrity couples in the world – and we have to say we weren’t surprised to find out that the supermodel Gisele and her husband Tom Brady are the richest couple in the world. Gisele, who’s already on record as the highest-earning supermodel in the world, earned an impressive £27million last year while her footballer hubby earned £18million, giving them a total amount of £46million. Blimey.
Coming up in second place was the gorgeous Beyonce with her rapper hubby Jay-Z. The rapper made £22million from his music while Miss Sascha Fierce made about £21million through fashion and music, meaning that the couple together made about £43million last year.
Of course no rich couple list would be complete without Hollywood’s most beautiful couple, Brad and Angelina, who as a couple made £30million from Hollywood roles. (Angelina earned more than Brad, as she raked in £18million to trump his £12million. GIRL POWER.)
Naturally David and Victoria Beckham also made it onto the top 5 in fourth place. David was the big earner, thanks to all of his deals with sportswear companies, bringing in £24million while Victoria’s fashion label brought in about £3million independently.
And last, coming in at fifth place, surprisingly, was Robert Pattinson with his surly Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart. Both of the stars each earned £12million from the wildly popular vampire series.

Singer Beyoncé Knowles has revealed a sneak preview of pieces from her new fashion collection which will hit UK stores next month.
In the photos Beyoncé – who has revealed she could soon be ready to start a family with husband and rap star Jay-Z – is sporting French knickers and lace-high socks. It comes as no surprise that B is modelling the range herself, just look at those legs!
The new House of Dereon range will be launched at Selfridges, London, in September – coinciding nicely with London Fashion Week – and Beyoncé is set to fly in for the occasion. Her second collection, which by the looks of it will include tribal-prints, will start at £80 and be exclusively available in Selfridges for six week before going into other stores in October.

Beyonce Knowles spent £9,000 in a 90-minute shopping spree.
The ‘Run the World (Girls)’ hitmaker – who is married to rapper Jay-Z – stunned onlookers in London’s Oxford Street yesterday when she spent £5,000 in the city’s flagship Topshop store before moving on to Selfridges, where she added another £4,000 to her clothing bill.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “It was like that shopping scene out of the film ‘Pretty Woman’.
“Everyone was gobsmacked by the speed she was choosing clothes. When she hit the shoe section she picked up even more speed. The woman clearly loves footwear.”
Last month, Beyonce splashed out on 25 pairs of designer shoes as a 25th birthday gift for her sister Solange.
Beyonce, 29, is known for her generosity towards her loved ones, last year she treated Jay-Z to a $2 million Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport car – the world’s fastest road vehicle – for his 41st birthday on December 4.
The ’99 Problems’ rapper – who already has a vast car collection, was thrilled with the surprise speedy gift, which Beyonce had to order a year in advance.

Julien Macdonald has always dreamed of dressing Beyonce Knowles.
The Welsh designer was thrilled when the ‘Run the World (Girls)’ hitmaker wore his creations three times in a week, including on the ‘Good Morning America’ show and admits he is a big fan of the star.
He said: “Creating a look for Beyonce has been a long term dream of mine, as I have been a fan for a very long time.
“I feel incredibly flattered she has chosen my design to represent her on such an international platform.”
Julien – a former British Fashion Designer of the year – felt “honoured” to have been chosen to design for the singer and believes his creations showed the best of his brand.
He added to Vogue.com: “Meeting Beyonce to discuss this collaboration, and the whole design process, has been an incredible experience. I’m honoured to have worked with her.
“The fringed knitwear dress which I have created for her reflects the knitwear heritage and very best of the Julien Macdonald brand.”
While Julien loved designing for Beyonce, he recently experienced a less star-studded platform for his creations when he returned to Wales to join forces with Jeff Banks to put on a charity fashion event to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Nurses and cancer survivors took to the catwalk along with local celebrities and models.
Julien said: “We’ve got five local girls lining up alongside celebrities and sportsmen in some glamorous dresses and we are all helping a great cause.”

Stella McCartney looked sleek and sophisticated as always in a vintage-feel butterfly top and grey skinny jeans
It’s a good time to be Beyonce right now. Fiercer and more on top of her fashion game than ever, everyone has been talking about her incredible headlining performance at Glastonbury on Sunday (if you didn’t see it look it up on Youtube RIGHT NOW – the woman was phenomenal).
Which is why yesterday’s launch party for her new album, 4, was a cool and eclectic mix of celebrities all there to mingle and celebrate their love of Miss B. From fashion designers to DJs and pop stars and beyond, everyone was there.
Representing the fashion world alongside Julien McDonald was Stella McCartney, looking sleek and graceful in a pretty and retro sequinned butterfly top with skinny jeans and a simple tan clutch. Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Parisian society girl, was also there looking stunning in an understated lace dress with her hair drawn back in a ballerina bun.
Less low-key was Paloma Faith in a theatrical feather-hat and a pair of the tiniest shorts we’ve ever seen, but are we surprised? No, not really. We love Paloma’s complete inability to dress appropriately for an event – it makes her a joy to write about. We have to say that she was flaunting some curves to rival Beyonce herself.
As for musical talent, there was a cool and diverse mix of different artists and styles present. We were surprised to see that Kills singer, Alisson Mosshart was there – who’d have known she was a Beyonce fan? (But then again, who isn’t?) Anyway, she looked cool in a low-key band shirt and black denim teamed with a slouchy denim-look shirt, an outfit that set off her shaggy black mane perfectly. Also there rocking a more laid-back look was up-and-coming Scottish DJ Yasmin, who’s already played Glasto this summer and is tipped to be a chart star, looking pretty and understated in some sawn-off dungarees and hot-pink wedges to set off her post-festival tan. We’re going to be watching this girl’s style from now on.
Meanwhile, pop’s divas were out in full force as well. Jade from the Sugababes was spotted at the launch looking amazing in an unbelievably short digital-printed cocktail dress with studded cut-out patterns. We have to find out where that dress is from! It worked perfectly against sexy evening makeup and some soft 70s-inspired waves.
And last but certainly not least, Alexandra Burke made an appearance wearing a simple knitted dress that gave a nod to the latest folk and 70s trends. A perfect summer outfit that rounds off today’s “Spotted” gallery perfectly. To see all the stars at Beyonce’s album launch party, check out the images above.
