Jay-Z has loved seeing wife Beyoncé trade in her sky-high heels and sequined rompers for flat shoes and comfy sweaters.
Crowned by People as the World’s Most Beautiful Woman, the singer tells the magazine that she has actually become far more laidback about her appearance since giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy on Jan. 7.

“I never thought there would be a day when I wouldn’t wear heels. Now that I have a child, I walk around holding her all day, I’m buying loafers and oxfords. I love them, because they’re comfortable,” she says. “And shorter heels too. I’d always thought, ‘The higher the heel, the sexier.’ But now I’m like, ‘These are really sexy.'”
Even more surprising to Beyoncé has been discovering that husband Jay-Z actually prefers her new look.
“He loves it when I wear flat shoes, which is surprising — he never saw me in flats before!” she says. “He likes me more natural — just the relaxed, natural me.”
Beyoncé reveals that she has taken to cutting her own hair, rather than making a trip to a pricey stylist.
“I recently cut two inches myself — I just parted it and chh-chh-chh,” she says.
The diva chuckles when she thinks about how focused she was on her look before her daughter was born.
“I wore my gloss when I arrived at the hospital. I committed to the end and wore my kitten heels. It makes me laugh thinking about it,” she says. “After many hours of labor, I didn’t care about how I looked. It was all about the miracle that God gave me — the opportunity to deliver a human being.”
