Beyoncé and Jay Z’s daughter Blue Ivy, who celebrated her fifth birthday on 7 January, appears in some of the photos. She will become a big sister twice over when her parents welcome their twins later on this year, and is no doubt already very excited to meet the new additions.

Beyoncé's pregnancy announcement photo shows the star kneeling in front of a giant hedge of roses, wearing blue satin underwear and a maroon bra. She is covered with a long green veil, and is already heavily pregnant. It’s worth noting that Beyoncé has played with veils before; the huge backdrops she danced against during her Formation world tour featured her wearing one, and she similarly appeared in one in the video for Mine in 2014.

Part of the pregnancy photoshoot took place underwater. The Lemonade singer looks effortlessly stylish and graceful as she poses in billowing yellow robes - her baby bump clearly visible as she floats over pink flowers strewn below her.
