Daring: Beyonce stepped out in a daring leather dress with cutaways close to her growing baby bump at the Tory Burch Madison Avenue Flagship store opening, today

Beyonce clearly has no intention of letting pregnancy get in the way of her daring fashion choices.

The 30-year-old singer stepped out in an edgy leather dress with cutaways close to her growing baby bump at the Tory Burch Madison Avenue Flagship store opening today.

The floor-length gown featured a black leather bust and a wide leather band, which sat just above the top of her bump with a black silk flowing over the star's belly.


Sensational in sequins: Yesterday the singer was simply glowing as she dressed her tiny baby bump in a belted glittering gold dress

The Crazy In Love singer accessorised the look with some chandelier earrings and a glittering black clutch.

She accentuated the bold look with a slick of vampy lipstick.


Sisters-in-arms: She looked stunning as she arrived at the J.Crew Spring 2012 Fashion Show at New York Fashion Week, accompanied by her sister Solange

Ever since announcing her pregnancy at the MTV Video Music Award's last month, Beyonce has dressed her blossoming figure in an array of flattering outfits.

The mother-to-be has been wearing her pregnancy well in the succession of stylish ensembles.


Quick change: Later the two moved onto the Vera Wang show, where Beyonce slipped into another outfit

Yesterday, she was simply glowing as she dressed her tiny baby bump in a belted glittering gold dress.

The singer looked stunning in the frock as she arrived at the J.Crew Spring 2012 Fashion Show at New York Fashion Week.

Letting her pre-natal glow shine through, Beyonce wore barely any make-up on her flawless complexion, and had her long hair tumbling in curls around her shoulders.

Not a tight fit: LeAnn Rimes in the classic bandage dress at the Herve Leger Show, Spring 2012 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week show

It's the miracle dress that has been a mainstay on the red carpet for years and looks stunning on curvy stars like Catherine Zeta-Jones, Kate Winslet and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

But the Herve Leger by Max Azria bandage dress, famed for hiding any lumps and bumps and hugging women's curves at every angle with its skintight fabric, managed to look baggy on super-thin singer LeAnn Rimes.

The 29-year-old, who has consistently made headlines for her thin frame this year, wore a dress by the designer to his Fashion Week show today in New York.


Slender: LeAnn posed looking thinner than ever in what is usually a figure-hugging look on most women

And while the elasticised garment usually hugs the hips, thighs and décolletage of its wearer, the fabric draped around LeAnn's hips and stomach, and hung far from her slender thighs.

The singer wore her nude version with platform heels and a matching clutch bag, and loved the collection.

She tweeted from the show: 'Insane Herve Leger collection I just saw backstage! Getting ready to witness a fabulous show!!!!! Cage boots......my obsession!'


Excited: The singer told fans on Twitter that she loved the 'insane' collection by the designer, seen here with actress Michael Michelle, Byrdie Bell and model Jessica White


Slim: While still thin, Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr chose the right size dress for the event, held at the Lincoln Center

Other starlets in attendance at the show had more success in filling out their bandage dresses.

While Gossip Girl Jessica Szohr hardly has any pounds on LeAnn, she chose a better-fitting dress that clung to her figure.

The actress teamed her electric blue frock with suede heels and her new long-bob hairstyle.


Short and sweet: Katie Cassidy donned a bright red skirt by the designer which she teamed with a navy shirt for the show


That's how you do it: Ashlee Si mpson filled out her Herve Leger dress perfectly

While most attendees opted for bandage dresses Katie Cassidy donned a bright red skirt by the designer which she teamed with a navy shirt for the show.

Ashlee Simpson filled out her black dress in all the right places, emphasising her cleavage with the frock's crossover neckline.

The mother-of-one added black platforms with a thick ankle strap and silver-tipped toes and a leopard-print clutch.

Ashlee sat with Jessica and her former Gossip Girl co-star Katie Cassidy, who also chose a bright blue dress, in the front row.

LeAnn also sat front and centre to watch the collection, next to actress Janina Gavankar.

The singer's inability to properly fill out the eye-wateringly tight dress that makes even the most slender of supermodels look curvy does little to back up her insisting that she is a normal weight.

Yesterday, LeAnn looked thinner than ever in a draped dress which did little to hide her tiny frame.

The country star's breastplate, arms and legs appeared incredibly bony as LeAnn arrived at SiriusXM Radio in Manhattan for an interview.

LeAnn is frequently defending her slight frame, and said in a recent interview she is fed up with people suggesting she is suffering from an eating disorder.

She told America's People magazine: 'For someone like me who is healthy, who works hard for my body, it’s very frustrating.

'I work out and take care of myself, and not in an over-obsessive way. People are calling me bulimic or anorexic and these are real issues and diseases that I don’t have.'

LeAnn also found her weight in the headlines again last month when E! host Guiliana Rancic labelled the singer as the celebrity she would most like to feed up.

The comment came after Rancic gave an interview about the new Italian restaurant in Chicago she is planning to open with husband Bill.

'She lost a lot of weight from all the stress in her life,' she said. 'She seems a little thin right now, and I think she looks great when she's a bit curvier.'

A livid Rimes immediately took to her Twitter to fire back, even inviting Giuliana out to dinner in the sarcastic post.


Masculine look: LeAnn at the Michael Bastian Men's Spring 2012 fashion show

The 37-year-old presenter attracted criticism in 2007 when she was photographed looking heavier in a swimsuit on holiday.

She said at the time: 'I still feel hot, but every day is different. It's when I put on the jeans that used to fit a year ago and don't fit now and give me the muffin top, that's when I say, "Damn!"'

Inspirational: Katie Piper wowed at TV Choice Awards last night in a chocolate asymmetrical satin dress

In 2008 her world was shattered and she was left with severe facial disfigurement following a violent acid attack arranged by her ex-boyfriend.

But Katie Piper demonstrated just how far she has come over the past three years as she stepped out at the TV Choice Awards last night.

The 27-year-old, who now runs her own charity to help people living with disfigurement, looked stunning as she arrived at the Savoy hotel amongst a whole host of TV personalities.


Stellar success: Katie's foundation is enjoying great success and the 27-year-old has big ideas for the future including more TV work and a make-up range

Katie had donned a one shoulder chocolate brown satin dress with shimmering heels for the occasion.

And it seems that after numerous operations and procedures Katie has made remarkable progress since she first appeared on TV in Katie: My Beautiful Face, a documentary about the acid attack and the way it had affected her life.

Katie, who was 24 and working as a model, suffered third-degree burns, losing her eyelids, half her left ear and most of her nose.

Her eyes, mouth, tongue, oesophagus, arms, hands, neck and cleavage were also badly burned and the injuries were the worst her medical team had ever seen.


Dramatic change: Katie has come so far on the road to recover and undergone several operations and procedure to improve function in her face since the acid attack in 2008, right seen in 2009 part way through her treatment

Her progress and the efforts of her medical team and support network are clear to see and Katie looked happier than ever last night.

And given the success of The Katie Piper Foundation she has plenty of reason to look so proud.

She also spoke about upcoming plans and said: ‘I've just signed a two year deal with Channel Four and I'm looking at launching my own beauty range now for camouflage make-up.’
