...to think Beyonce has actually lost the plot??

[GoingSlightlyCrazy09]

Seriously, wtaf is this photo about? She's dressed up like a hawaiian barbie doll, and is holding those poor twins with such an air of detachment, it's actually freaky. I actually think she's gone mad. Sir Carter and Rumi ........... those kids are gonna love those names when they're in school

She's a fat frumpy deluded dwarf...

I bet she still looks much better than you.

It must be a very slow news day for anyone to get bent out of shape about a photo of a woman holding her twins. OP you need to get several grips, maybe a job lot from eBay would be more economical.

They were hardly going to be called John and Hannah after her first born was Blue Ivy.

Yes the picture is over the top but anything she had done would have been massively criticised so why not go massively extravagant. Your average Joe has newborn shoots with the baby dressed up in ridiculous tutus or sleeping in a plant pot, Bey's gotta top it somehow

You can't tell anything about her stomach from this picture really with the shadow and material draped round it. You certainly can't deduce anything about her parenting skills.

No one has criticised Jay-Z for his part in this. Just another example of the criticisms 'famous' women face.

Post of the day

I don't think she has lost the plot.

She always has to do some OTT photo of her and kids to get massive media attention. A photo of the kids in the pram is not going to get massive coverage is it?

Nearly10to9 I think you are right. Sky colour behind her head is different to elsewhere. Plus cleverly cropped feet.

Does annoy me though. When you look at some of the comments on these pics "We are not worthy" was one. WTF?!

I think it is a nice, harmless photo.

Ehhh I think she knows exactly what she's doing. She's a businesswoman.

Sir is pretty bad though . My immediate association is Fifty Shades of Grey. Ewww....

The trade mark application aren't to exploit their children but to protect them. It means they have the rights over the use of their children's names on merchandise. If you read the details they've focused in things like baby clothes, ribbons and bags. This means that others can't use their children's names to sell merchandise. I doubt it is because they want to flog their own line of Rumi Carter baby grows- this didn't happen with Blue Ivy.

She's a fat frumpy deluded dwarf...

wish i was a fat frumpy deluded dwarf if thats what they look like???

just zoomed in to see the edging, look at the edging - well dodgy

shes kind of 'leaning' over as well

It's over the top but meh, she's allowed!

It's quite removed from your "usual" newborn photographs. By which I mean, in my post birth/new baby pictures I look like I'm staring at the 8th wonder of the world adoringly whilst simletaneously appear like I've been run over by a bus a couple of times with patches of baby sick dotted about.

We had newborn ds star as baby Jesus in the groundbreaking production of St Mary's junior church nativity so I've no room to talk

The BBC headline says they're both boys. I thought they were b/g twins like every other celebrity

Anyone else think her face says this is my lunch if you touch it I will rip your face off...

Nearly10to9 I think you are right. Sky colour behind her head is different to elsewhere. Plus cleverly cropped feet. The blue blow is water. (Sea, ocean, I don't know) and the top is the sky.

MYOB

Do you ever wonder if maybe Saint, Sir, Lawnmower, etc are just for the press and the kids actually have normal names IRL?

I think it's it's a fun photo, not taking things too seriously. I don't really have any view on Beyonce but can't understand the vitriol and tearing to shreds from some posters on this thread.

Myob?
Seriously??
A celeb who's whole raison d'etre is about being seen, being noticed, promoting her brand and you think myob?
Could you even miss the point by a wider margin🙄

She annoys me FAR more than Victoria Beckham ever will.

I think these OTT pregnancy/newborn shoots are primarily to compensate for all those rumours that she faked her pregnancy and used a surrogate for Blue Ivy which I think is totally and utterly true

iloveeverykindofcat Yes I think so too. I wonder if they do it so that their real names give them some anonymity (as far as you can with having some of the most famous current music artists as your parents)

She's made it into MJ "away with the fairies" territory now I think. It's a very rare mega star who can keep their feet on the ground.

Rumi is a nice name - whether boy or girl, but poor little "Sir" has been saddled with the shitest name I've heard in ages.

Crass, tasteless and tacky. But then I expect no better from her. She is a poor role model for black girls and women.

Who cares? I can't get worked up about the photo or the names. She has one month old baby twin boys, all appear healthy, good for her.

She's Beyoncé. She can get away with weird names and OTT photographs. She announced her babies birth the way she wanted to, via her own social media account, I actually prefer it that she's not a celeb who sells a story every time she sneezes to Hello magazine.

Sir Carter will be at school with people with names like Apple Martin (Paltrow?) , Saint West and North West so it's not that weird.

As for baby photo shoots- everybody is curious about the babies and Beyoncé and I think she's too big a star to be in Hello. I wouldn't pick the outfit but it's obviously supposed to match the pregnancy photo shoot and white would be weird as it gives a wedding-vibe.
