All eyes are on her growing baby bump these days.

But a newly-published magazine shoot taken before Beyonce fell pregnant is reminding the world of her bootylicious beginnings.
The 30-year-old, who is due to give birth in February, shows off her sensational curves in an sexy fashion spread.

Rapper Jay-Z’s wife truly flashes the flesh as she appears without trousers for Jones magazine Winter Arts & Entertainment issue.

With dark make-up contrasting her blonde locks, the mother-to-be looks sensual on the shoot, which evidently took place before she announced she was with child.

In the Parisian photo shoot she can be seen relaxing against railings on the terrace of the Maurice in the French capital as photographer Greg Gex captures her best angles.

In another snap Beyonce reclines on a large outdoor chair, going mad for buckles in an outfit festooned with fastenings around her midriff and on her extravagant gladiator boots.

Beyonce’s parents Mathew and Tina Knowles announced they were divorcing after 31 years of marriage on Tuesday, following claims that he fathered a love child.

In regarded to parenthood, their eldest daughter tells the February issue of Jones: ‘I believe that parents prepare their kids for the moment that they’re on their own: at this point, I am taking everything my dad and my mother have taught me, and I’m able to do things my way.'

Meanwhile as she prepares to welcome her baby into the world, Beyonce hasn't stopped donning sexy ensembles throughout her final trimester of pregnancy.

The latest racy outfit from the star came in the form of a pair of animal print leggings, which she wore to go shopping on Wednesday.

Although she wore a loose-fitting black shirt, a hint of her baby bump could still be seen as she picked up some gifts just in time for Christmas.

The singer strutted out of Curve boutique in New York also in a pair of black buckled booties and a leather jacket, and she carried a snakeskin Hermes handbag.

The clothing wasn’t the only animalistic quality in Beyonce’s outfit, she also flaunted red claw-style nails, which stars including Lady GaGa are currently wearing.
