Beyoncé's 'Spirit' video for 'The Lion King' includes 11 outfit changes - Page Six

Posted: 17 Jul 2019 12:00 AM PDT

"The Lion King" doesn't hit theaters until Thursday, but Beyoncé has already blessed fans with new music and an accompanying video that captures the grandeur of the film.

On Tuesday night, the 37-year-old singer, who voices Nala in the Disney movie, released the visuals for "Spirit," the first single off of a compilation album she produced to complement the movie's soundtrack, "The Lion King: The Gift."

Filmed at Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon and styled by Zerina Akers, the video features over-the-top custom and couture fashions sourced from designers around the world and showcased against stunning natural vistas.

In total, Beyoncé herself has nearly a dozen outfit changes, while her dancers coordinate in complementary looks of their own. There's even a special pink gown for Blue Ivy, who matches her mom with a voluminous, curly mane of red hair.

Like the supplemental soundtrack, which Beyoncé told ABC's Robin Roberts is a "love letter to Africa," the video includes artists from around the world as well as African themes and styles.

"The concept of the video is to show how God is the painter and natural beauty and nature needs no art direction," Beyoncé told Roberts. "It's the beauty of color, the beauty of melanin the beauty of tradition."

Notable looks include a tailored suit and matching bustier ($300) by Dakar-based Tongoro Studio, which Beyoncé paired with the brand's gold face jewelry ($112) and durag, and a red and pink voluminous coat from Valentino's spring 2019 couture show — which Italian designer Pierpaolo Piccioli created in tribute to iconic black women like Beverly Johnson — layered over a latex dress by Venus Prototype.

There's also a blue fringe catsuit custom-made by Laurel DeWitt, a green caftan from Norma Kamali's resort 2020 collection and a chartreuse knit dress with feather accents by Canadian designer Mark Fast.

Quick changes include a fringed Hyun Mi Nielsen coat, a red fringe look from Déviant La Vie and a stunning custom pearl bustier from Brazilian brand Maison Alexandre with a cowrie-shell-and-chain harness by Laurel DeWitt.

When it comes to spirit and style, after all, Beyoncé has both in spades.

Fans are Convinced Beyonce is Pregnant Again. Here's Why - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Posted: 09 Aug 2019 10:04 AM PDT

If you're a Beyonce fan, (why wouldn't you be?) then you are probably used to her secrecy by now. The Queen never slips. No one ever knows anything about her until she is good and ready. She gives no warning before dropping new music or announcing tours (so it's best to keep your coins ready for tickets at all times.) And she performs while pregnant so it's almost impossible to know when she is expecting until she announces it.

So, obviously, there is always a lot of speculation about what Beyonce is doing. Often these rumors turn out to be false, but every now and then someone will stumble upon a truth.

Why do fans think Beyonce is pregnant?

When Beyonce posts a picture, people inspect every aspect of it for clues as to what she's up to. This time, fans thought that the singer might be hiding a baby bump in one of her most recent photos.

In the photo, she donned a purple dress and had her arms wrapped tightly over her stomach.

"We've been saying muva is pregnant," the Instagram account for vegan restaurant Slutty Vegan commented on the post. "She's been dropping clues the entire album. Purple is royalty… simba (King) (son) .. the lions curled up like a fetus. There's so much more but remember we said it!"

"She's clearly hiding her stomach, 4 is her favorite number, why would she not be pregnant with baby number 4," another person wrote.

"If you're pregnant oh well I'm happy for you," one fan said. "You deserve however many kids you want. I'll still be here waiting for new music and I'm still purchasing floor seats at your concert like I've done for the past 15 yrs."

Some fans wanted to know the meaning of every aspect of the photo.

"Let me research the meanings of purple and the things it's related to," one person commented. "This is a clue!"

The singer also posted another photo in the dress, this time striking a pose with her hand on her hip. But even without her hands over her stomach, fans were still convinced that she is pregnant.

"She definitely pregnant. You can see it in her face AND them ankles!!" a person wrote. "Child!!! I'm so ready for y'all world domination!! Have like 10 Carter babies!!"

"This is her pregnancy announcement," one fan commented. "Y'all know Bey sneaky." 

But some fans defended her weight gain.

"This woman had 3 whole babies, 3 y'all, and she is 37 years old," a person added. "You really think the only possible way she could have a belly pouch is being pregnant?!?!"

Beyonce's pregnancy with her twins

In Beyonce's Netflix documentary, Homecoming, she opened up about her most recent pregnancy with twins, Rumi and Sir.

The pregnancy was as much of a shock to Beyonce as it was to the rest of us.

"I was supposed to do Coachella the year prior but I got pregnant unexpectedly," she said, "And it ended up being twins which was even more of a surprise."

She had an extremely tough time carrying the children.

"My body went through more than I knew it could," she said.

She developed preeclampsia during her pregnancy. This condition puts expectant mothers at risk for major complications and causes high blood pressure and protein in the urine.

And the delivery wasn't any easier than the pregnancy.

"In the womb, one of my babies' hearts paused a few times so I had to get an emergency C-section," she said.
