Beyoncé Knowles may be on the cover of US Vogue's September issue, but it is her daughter Blue Ivy who she insists is the real cover star. The proud mum shared a throwback photo on Friday taken from her first Vogue cover shoot in March 2013, which also features a starring role from baby Blue.

The image, taken when Blue Ivy was just 11 months old, sees the Halo singer looking elegant in a ruffled cream dress while cradling her daughter, who pulls an adorable expression for the camera.

However the glamorous mum appears to be equally comfortable relaxing away from the spotlight with her three-year-old daughter and husband Jay Z. Beyoncé often treats her fans to a glimpse at their family life, and recently shared a series of snaps from their recent Fourth of July celebrations on her official website.

One candid image shows the 33-year-old teaching Blue Ivy to swim, smiling encouragingly as her daughter paddled towards her in the water. Another Instagram post shows Beyoncé's dedication to her daughter, showing off a gold jewelled ring that spells her name "Blue".

The mother-of-one has spoken openly about her joy at having a child and previously told Oprah Winfrey that she felt "complete" after welcoming her daughter in 2012.

"My story did not feel complete and I didn't know why but... after I gave birth I looked at my diaries and everything made sense," she said. "Everything just completely connected and I said now I know who I am... I wasn't complete before my daughter."
