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!”
Jennifer Lopez likes to dress in a “classic” way.
The singer-and-actress says she doesn’t really go for trendy items of clothing and would rather pay homage to old school Hollywood glamour.
She said: “I just do what I feel when it comes to my style. Even though I love things that are modern and new, I don’t really go big on trends that much – I keep it classic. I like a touch of sexiness and I love glamour – old school Hollywood glamour. I also come from the Bronx area in New York and grew up in the hip-hop in the hip-hop area, so that style is very ingrained in me.”
Jennifer, 42, also revealed how she is very involved with the clothes she wears on the red carpet as she wants her outfit to “represent” her.
The mother-of-two told LOOK magazine: “I’m very involved. The stylist can bring a rack of clothes, but at the end of the day I have to pick what I’m going to wear. Although they can put an outfits together, the truth is that it has to represent me.”
Cheryl Cole says she learnt the “hard way” with her fashion choices.
The Fight for This Love singer has experience a few style disasters over the years but has now accepted what suits her and what doesn’t.
She said: “It’s hard to know how to dress sometimes. I learnt the hard way that, just because something looks nice on someone else, it doesn’t mean it’ll work for your height, size and figure. I tried and failed miserably in my teenage years, but now I know to take things as inspiration and adapt them to work for me.”
While Cheryl, 28, enjoys wearing different clothes, she hates going shopping for them and would prefer to buy stuff online.
She told Britain’s InStyle magazine: “When you go in the dressing rooms, why do they always have the worst lighting. You come away feeling down, you don’t buy anything and it’s actually not what you look like. And the mirrors! I think they should spend more time and money on them.”
Kelly Rowland won the X Factor judges style wars hands down when she turned up on Saturday night sporting the masculine trend.
The singer who has clearly taken inspiration from the likes of Burberry and Marc Jacobs looked hot in a black tux blazer, white shirt and skinny cigarette trousers teamed up with black court shoes.
To complete the look she kept her hair tied back in a bun. We absolutely love this look so we’ve scoured the highstreet to find the best bits to achieve this style.

Dita Von Teese thinks her look will “work at any age”.
The 39-year-old burlesque model explained she had an “epiphany” at a recent shoot, and discovered she can still maintain her “classy” style when she gets older, as her hair, make-up and clothing choices have become like a “uniform” to her.
She said: “I was doing a photo shoot and the make-up artist had made me up to have grey hair but I was still wearing the same clothes and had the same make-up. I was scanning me in the mirror and I just had this epiphany that I was perfect – I looked like a classy, old lady.
“I won’t have to change my look when I get older, it’ll work at any age. I’m not sure what Paris Hilton will be wearing when she gets to 70.
“My look is like a uniform to me, I know each morning what I’ll be doing with my make-up and hair, how long my hem line will be. I like to evolve my look, but I don’t feel compelled to update it.”
However, the raven-haired beauty – who has appeared in campaigns for the likes of Jean Paul Gaultier and Vivienne Westwood in the past – admitted she isn’t naturally blessed with a trim figure and “works hard” to look so glamorous.
Dita added in an interview with Vogue.co.uk: “I don’t try to tell people I’m naturally anything, I’m not going to tell you that I eat pizza all day and look like this – I don’t.
“I work hard to maintain a glamorous look, and to tell women that they can achieve it too. We all want to have a plump, juicy and luscious figures – I just try hard to stay fit.”

Vintage is a hot trend this season. However, it’s not just making a huge impact on our wardrobes, it’s also filtering into our make up too. This season one key look is golden buff, a trend which gives a nod to 40s sepia style prints.
And it’s also a great look for all skin types. To get the look start with a cream colour base foundation before coating eyes in two types of gold eyeshadows.
Add mascara and a contrasting frosted pink lippy to finish the look. See the gallery below for tips and where to buy the products we used.

Victoria Beckham “knows a lot about handbags”.
Katie Hillier – the designer who has worked alongside the star on her luxury bag collection for the past two years – thinks people in the fashion industry need to “rethink their opinions” of the former Spice Girls singer because she is “super-smart”.
She said: “Victoria is super-smart – people need to rethink their opinions of her. She knows a lot about handbags. In fact, she knows a lot about everything to do with fashion.
“Working with her is not only really good fun; it’s satisfying because the product is so amazing. It’s hard to design a bag that speaks for itself.”
Katie – who also designs for the likes of Marc by Marc Jacobs and Loewe – explained as the 37-year-old singer-turned-designer is so focused on the “quality” of her garments, she enjoys working on a line that “means something”.
She added in an interview with the London Evening Standard newspaper: “With Victoria, it’s all about the quality. I get emails from her saying, ‘The little inside pocket doesn’t have the right stitching.’
“Our focus isn’t on designing a logo but on finding the right leather. I enjoy working on something that I know means something.”
Michelle Williams likes running through fields with no shoes on.
The 31-year-old actress – who has six-year-old daughter Matilda from her relationship with late actor Australian Heath Ledger – is now playing troubled star Marilyn Monroe in movie My Week with Marilyn, and she admits has always liked her because she was a “simple dresser”.
She told UK’s Elle magazine: “Something I really appreciated about her is what a simple dresser she was. She’s really, in her personal life, completely unadorned.
“Everything that she wore looked like she could take hr shoes off and run through a field. And I like that.”
Michelle – who stars alongside Emma Watson and Dame Judi Dench in the film – also admits she was always more preoccupied with the “private” side of Marilyn as opposed to her Hollywood career.
She added: “I had always been more interested in the private Marilyn, and the unguarded Marilyn.
“Even as a young girl, my primary concern wasn’t with this larger than life personality smiling back from the wall but with what was going on underneath.”
Her love for the star – who died in 1962 – was deep enough for her to be very concerned about taking on the role.
She said: “I was so apprehensive. It was daunting living up to people’s expectations as well as my own expectations.”

H&M have collaborated with the costume designer from ‘The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’ to create a capsule collection inspired by protagonist Lisbeth Salander.
Trish Summerville has created all the outfits for Lisbeth (played by Rooney Mara) in the US adaptation of the Swedish film and she revealed she jumped at the chance to give the troubled heroine’s clothes a more “realistic fashion feel” for the Swedish retailer.
She told WWD: “We put a lot of aged-in washes and finishes, which goes along the lines of the Salander character. In the film, her clothes are quite extreme. They’re really worn down, they’re dirty. So for us, it was taking that kind of concept and giving it more of a realistic fashion feel.”
Anna Norling, division designer at H&M, said the company wanted to make Lisbeth’s clothes more flattering and feminine.
She explained: “We were really strongly inspired by the film and especially by Trish’s styling, but the collection wouldn’t have looked as it does without H&M, because we added the fashion point of view. I’m very happy with the result and I know that Trish is as well.”
Items in the range include tribal-style earrings, a leather jacket, which comes in washed black or deep burgundy, hoodies and lace-up boots.
The collection will make its debut at Paris boutique Colette on November 28.
