she looks so beautiful. I’m in awe :-) She makes me wanna go the gym right now. That body is baadddddd…..
March 13, 2013 3:14 pm
She is a woman that works hard at everything she does, so no suprise her body is on point. Her legs are my favorite.
March 13, 2013 3:58 pm
She looks beautiful. It is so hard sometimes to make time for the gym after school, kids, work, husband, etc… But you have to keep yourself healthy. Kudos to her for whipping herself back into shape in such a short time. Plenty of water, fruits and veggies, plus 3-4 workouts a week should do the trick : )
March 13, 2013 3:59 pm
Sooo beautiful! This shoot looks like fun!
March 13, 2013 4:05 pm
@Dolo,
For a regular person, yes, that would be very hard. It is not hard for Beyonce to do any of that. That’s why she has a staff.
I want to pick up that issue, just to figure out where that outfit is from — it’s really cute, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was over-priced.
March 13, 2013 4:26 pm
She looks great….just tired of seeing her in her drawz.
March 13, 2013 4:28 pm
I don’t like how she has her chest forward. Look weird
March 13, 2013 4:28 pm
Looks*
March 13, 2013 4:31 pm
I love Bey but all that airbrushing they should have kept. ugh!!!
March 13, 2013 4:37 pm
Beyonce is sooooooo ahead of the game. I don’t understad why she feels the need to take off her clothes at every turn these days. She’s throwing herself in the Kim K/RiRi lane for no reason. Please stick with whats missing in the industry- classy, integrity, first lady of the game. My personal opinion.
March 13, 2013 4:49 pm
Face & Body of a Barbie doll. STUNNING ♥
March 13, 2013 4:53 pm
Her shape is beautiful, it’s crazy that she is even more BEAUTIFUL in person.
March 13, 2013 4:55 pm
beyonce is in great shape. Will pick up the issue. I am fan of shape magazine.
As for the excuses if you can find to do social media or any other activity you can find 15 minutes to work out. Its not like you need a gym to get in shape.
March 13, 2013 5:28 pm
Retire.

The new Pope was announced today, and he is none other than his royal lordship Pope Beysus Papyrus Carter Bendictus Giselle Knowles IV Bow to ther holy throne.
March 13, 2013 5:30 pm
Flawless as usual. L <3 V E
March 13, 2013 5:32 pm
She’s in shape but not as in shape in the photoshopped pic! Not buying it her head is bigger than her bod!
March 13, 2013 5:33 pm
I am not a fan of these pics but I love beyonce
March 13, 2013 5:59 pm
Lol @ lola, you play too much!
March 13, 2013 6:12 pm
That’s the only thing I don’t like about shape magazine they airbrush the cover to death. Beyonce has a great body always has.
March 13, 2013 6:29 pm
Looking good is part of her job, so no real “prouesse” in her staying in shape. And I’m sick of the “she works soooooo hard” mantra…she is not the only person in the industry who works “hard”, she has just been blessed to be visibly successful (thanks to shady Daddy Matthew).
March 13, 2013 7:09 pm
i think the bathing suit is a.t.g
March 13, 2013 7:25 pm
where is her neck? and WHY did they photoshop her head to make it look so BIG?
March 13, 2013 7:31 pm
Beyonce is getting naked for the 2013 huh?!? Lol love the pics tho!!
March 13, 2013 7:35 pm
She looks fab ESPECIALLY after having that baby…(side eye)!
March 13, 2013 7:43 pm
her body is amazing! but why does she look so pale in the first picture?!!! its ridiculouss
March 13, 2013 7:55 pm
Harpo whose dat white woman
March 13, 2013 8:48 pm
She looks amazing and I will most definitively pick up one copy
March 13, 2013 10:03 pm
People kill me…it’s called lighting. And…it’s not like Beyonce is a dark skinned woman.
In regards to finding the time to work out when you have young children, you have to find the time. Imagine, if you have the time to watch a sitcom, you have the time to work out. We have to make ourselves a priority…after all, you can’t do for others unless you do for yourself. Granted, I don’t have children…but my best friend became a personal trainer after having twins. I instruct running clinics and many of those I run with have young children. If you want it hard enough, you will find the time. Calling out celebs because they have the money means nothing. You still have to eat, choose wisely…and you don’t need money to workout.
Decide. Commit…and you WILL succeed.
March 13, 2013 10:44 pm
I totally agree with you Soul Touch, anyone who wants a toned body will do what it takes, these people who talk about celebrities having the “staff” are being ridiculous.. is the staff eating the food for her? or are they doing the actual exercise for her??
Bottom line,If you really want something you will do the work for it, It irks me when people at my job look at me and say, if I had your figure I would wear this or that. Like I went out to a store and bought my body. I work for it, there is no magic body or magic pill, the only way to get that figure is through diet and exercise.
Beyonce looks photo shopped to the nth, I can barely recognize her
March 13, 2013 11:25 pm
@Roka, no the staff isn’t doing the eating or the actual exercise but they’re helping her through the process, much like a parent teaches their child to walk.
Her cooks outline a strict diet for her which she then has her personal chef cook for her and feed her at the respected intervals.
Her trainer than outlines what part of her body needs to be worked on, and they train for however long the trainer decides when he personally visits her home.
This is exactly what happens when actors need to gain/lose weight for specific roles. It’s obvious why celebrities lose weight really fast and vice versa — because they have a staff to help them through it.

i just wanna slap an instagram filter on those pics to warm them up! why they always make her look so light! she almost looks ashy! i would love to see her looking like a bronzed goddess one of these days!
March 14, 2013 2:44 am
Team Bey!
March 14, 2013 4:14 am
looks washed a bit…idk
March 14, 2013 7:39 am
ahahahah @loveofglam ahahaha i 100% agree. “i wanna slap an instagram filter on those pics to warm them up” your comment just made my morning
March 14, 2013 9:02 am
Why are people so mad she has money, had a baby, and is back in shape?!? Im confused. Plenty of people/other celebs can afford trainers, chefs & nannys but their bodies dont look like THIS so obviously it has something to do with her personal dedication & effort.
Money does not equal weight loss or a perfect body && there are plenty of options for us REGULAR FOLK for meal plans (Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, the internet lol) and exercise plans such Workout DVDs, Comcast On Demand, and hell guess what? walking outside is FREE! As far as time if you have time to read this blog & comment you have time to workout.
March 14, 2013 9:41 am
Nobody is mad that she has money and had a baby, and is now back in shape, I think what a lot of people wish though, is that celebrities would be more transparent about their weight loss processes. Most of us will not look like Beyonce does after we have our babies. Why? Because most of us, after we have our babies, will have to get back to working 10 hour days, running a household, and caring for our kids. Yes, if you have an hour for TV you have an hour to work out, UNLESS you have babies in the house, well then you have to stay home. You can do a stay at home work out, but with one eye on your children. It’s just not the same as a woman who has a chef/trainer/nurse/nanny/maid/driver/personal assistant.
March 14, 2013 9:57 am
@Michelle, what celeb does not look like this? Besides the ones who are out of shape for a role?
@Terilili, well said.
And a lot of people keep throwing this ‘hour for TV, hour to work out’ in here, but if you’re already super busy, why would you not want to take an hour to relax, as opposed to working out? :\
March 14, 2013 10:05 am
@Roka
I TOTALLY agree. Either you make it a priority or you don’t. It’s hard, I am sure, but I see it done EVERY DAY by EVERY DAY PEOPLE.
@Michelle
Amen!! You should see how many DVDs I own. But you don’t have to waste your money..YOUTUBE! Put your baby in a stroller and go for a walk. Sometimes we make things harder than they need to be.
Or, work out 10 min through out the day…once in the morning, once after lunch, once after dinner…just 10 minutes.
@Frost
And there are tons of sites that can do that for you. Granted, chances are Beyonce did some extreme dieting and working out because she planned her first show three months after giving birth. As she stated, she would never do that again because it is HARD.
The average woman doesn’t need a cook, a trainer, and such but there are tools out there to help you plan your meals and help you watch your portions (ie myfitnesspal.com or sparkspeople). We have to be honest with ourselves in our personal journey. For example, when I go to the grocery store I make sure I don’t buy items that will tempt me in the late nights (because I have no self control lol), I work out my fitness plan every two months to switch it up. To keep myself motivated, I instruct running clinics because I will talk myself out of a run and if I need a target to shed, I challenge my best friend to a 12wk challenge.
At the end of the day, we are the only ones responsible for ourselves. Complaining won’t change anything. Change requires action. No need to lose 52lbs in three months like Beyonce because we have to be in front of millions in little to nothing…take the time. Enjoy the journey. A year will come around regardless, but you do have the option to make the best out of that year.
Sure, it’s not the same…but it’s far from impossible. After all, I see it every day.

@Frost
Sorry, just one last thing…your comment:
“why would you not want to take an hour to relax, as opposed to working out?”
We all have choices.
At the end of the day, it may seem like you would prefer to relax but the great thing about working out is that it benefits you more than just relaxing. As side from your waist line, it helps with your energy, your confidence, your mind clarity, the ability to keep up with your young one, your intimate life with your partner, you are more inclined to turn off the tv and do others things, and you set an example for your youths.
