She's one of the most glamorous women in the world, and is rarely seen without a pair of killer heels.
But, as pregnant singer Beyoncé filmed a television special for ITV, she decided to try out a more casual look - teaming her sheer blue trousers and blouse with bare feet.
The 30-year-old singer looked confident as she performed some of her greatest hits, including Best Thing I Never Had, while perching on a stool.

She later sits down on the floor after belting out the track's biggest top notes.
Beyoncé's relaxed appearance is in sharp contrast to her usual immaculately groomed look, but suited the mother-to-be.
The exclusive performance, recorded in front of an audience of Beyoncé's biggest fans shortly before the superstar announced her pregnancy in August, also sees the former Destiny's Child singer treat fans to a question and answer session in between songs.

She said: 'Beyoncé is one of the biggest selling artists of today. She is a world-class performer who dazzles her audience with her energy and talent.
