Queen Bey showed up to Nas’ “Life is Good” dinner with her mogul squeez, Jay Z.  Although Beyonce was not taking photos that night she was seen with braids in her hair.

Bey usually wears flowing locks and a full lace wig or her hair in a ponytail. She has not been seen with braids since 2001.

From close inspection of the photos Beyonce’s face is rather fat with the braids.. She kinda looks pregnant to me.. But I’m doubting she would be pregnant again so soon.

According to designer Orly Shani, who attended Nas’ dinner, Beyonce didn’t want any of the spotlight that night, she instead to let her man Jay shine while she hung out in the background greeting guests:

So Beyonce stood off to the side while her man posed for pics. I went up to say Hi and ask for a pic… She smiled wide + said “sorry baby I’m not taking pictures tonight..what’s ur name?” then put her hand out and introduced herself. #classact

Yes Beyonce had long, blonde braids all pulled back in a pony tail. No makeup except a pretty deep berry lip. Gorgeous girl.

I gotta say, I kinda loved how Beyonce stood back, laughing with a friend, while her man enjoyed the spotlight. #strongmarriage 

It’s cute that Beyonce introduced herself.  The first time I met Brian McKnight we were hanging out in Vegas at the ESPN Zone playing games and he walked up  to me and introduced himself..  I was amused cause in my head I’m like “I know who you are.” But since that time I’ve learned that celebrities understand that while most people do know who they are it’s polite to simply introduce yourself.

As you can see from Orly’s tweets, doing so leaves quite an impression on fans. 

And here’s BLUE IVY.…  Don’t think Bey authorized this pic.
