The world is fully aware that Beyonce is a superstar, but after her action-packed pregnancy we can add "superwoman" to her list of adoring monikers.

At 6-months pregnant she brought down the house at the VMA's and then went on to shoot a string of music videos (in leotards, no less)--all while trotting around town in 6-inch heels and taping the occasional prime time television interview. Phew!


And now, The Daily Mail reports that the new mom also managed to shoot a glamorous campaign for the House of Dereon Spring/Summer 2012 collection before giving birth to Blue Ivy last month.

Our friends at Grazia were the first to spot the stunning campaign ad and the clothing line's video lookbook.

Famed photographer Tony Duran captured a fresh-faced Beyonce with her perfectly tousled honey blonde locks, dressed in a sexy House of Dereon studded bustier and multiple wooden bangles. And although her belly is clearly not featured in the ad, we're hoping there are more shots to follow with a baby bump cameo or two.

Here's a look at the gorgeous campaign and the House Of Dereon's Spring/Summer 2012 video lookbook-- packed with models prancing through the streets to Bey's "Schoolin’ Life."

Well, I for one only gained 14 pounds the whole nine months of my pregnancy and I had a whopping 7 lb 14 oz boy 21 inches too. My face was not full nor were my breasts big and full. After I had my baby, my stomach was flat like I never had a baby. Oh by the way, this is Beyonce's first baby.

Dear God, if I should get pregnant one day, I should hope to have a pregnancy like yours!

@HottyTotty... Each pregnancy is different lol. You could. Who knows. I only had one child, so I don't know if it would have been the same each time. He is a grown man now though lol. That was 43 years ago lol.

Foods eaten nowadays are different too. So maybe that's why I only gain 14 pounds. In my mind I didn't want to be fat so I kept myself slim. I am now a grandmother to four granddaughters, 23, 22, 21 and 8 years old and a grandson 25 years old. I also have a 2 yr old great-grandson and a set of one year old twins great-grandson-daughter -- boy and girl. And keeping myself youthful is the "Rule".

I am now 62 years old so "yes" it is possible to have an almost small stomach and a big baby like I did. Although I am no longer slim, I am in good health lol.

I was just like you. When pregnant with my daughter, 7 lbs 6 oz 23 inches, I didn't even have to weear maternity clothes. After I delivered my stomach went right back to it's original flatness.

And it's a good feeling to be this way too lol. My granddaughter who is 23 going on 24 had her firstborn 2 years ago, she too had a boy weighting 7 pounds 11 oz 22 inches and her stomach went flat just like her grandmother lol. She had to wear maternity clothes though 'cause she is tiny. To this day people mistakes her for being a teenager. Cheers to you blackdiamondcynth!

Thank you so much for letting it be known that it is possible to have a small belly and still have a healthy big baby. Fabulous!

House Of Dereon = tacky
That song = atrocious

Talks Black (Hip Hop beats in music); Lives White (lighten skin on Album Covers and Loreal Ads); Thinks Green (milks fans for every dime they have to live a luxurious lifestyle).

Well said Pam! but baldheaded fool think she is a god send. she and Lay z should learn from whitney and bobby. Bey should appear on dancing with the stars or hiphop wives when that baby turns 8.

I am so thankful that I focus more on things that matter such as serving others and helping others that need help in this economy and not making self serving celebrities rich for life.

Women have a certain way they walk when they are heavily pregnant. They hold their weight a certain way and their hips and backs compensate for the excess weight gain. Breasts get larger - sometimes 2-3 cup sizes. Quite often feet and ankles swell. They get a 'glow' in their faces. I have seen none of this so, yeah, I'm a doubter.

oh gosh. now women have to adhere to a certain gait or way of carrying themselves in order to pass your pregnancy test? And glow? How does one really define and then spot that?

It's not a matter of 'adhering' to something. It's an actual physical phenomena. Look at heavily pregnant Jennifer Garner, Jessica Simpson or Hilary Duff. 'nuff said.

Every woman, every pregnancy is different. We're talking about a woman who lives in the spotlight, has money, and was in the best physical shape BEFORE she got pregnant. She's also a woman with bigger hips and a bigger frame than most other celebrities. Those qualities alone makes it easier for her to carry a baby without much change in her gait, as you say.

My cousin loves high, high heels, & wore them her entire pregnancy. Her last pregnancy, she said she had no issues and didn't even feel pregnant.

My second pregnancy, with twins no less, I gained no excess weight except for in my tummy area. I had no swelling and from looking at me from the breast up you wouldn't even realize I was pregnant. And neither of my pregnancies caused my breasts to enlarge, only afterwards when they were filled with milk and within a few weeks that subsided since I wasn't nursing.

I don't know if you've ever had a baby, but if you have, you would realize that every pregnancy is diff as I said earlier. The celebrities you mention later have a slimmer and smaller frames than Beyonce, probably gained more weight than her or had bigger babies than her. All of those factors determine what goes on with a woman's body while she's with child. With all of the things you stated earlier, why didn't you mention those, since you know so much about pregnancy & expectant mothers?
