The queen of bling and R&B attitude, Beyonce, has taken to dressing up as a bee! Quite appropriate really as her name is Bee-yonce! She sported the bee costume at Kanye West's recent Halloween Party, and the chunky nature of the costume helped to disguise her baby bump. Unless you have been hiding under a rock for the last 6 months you will of course know that Beyonce is expecting her first child with her other half Jay-Z. You can see the pic of Beyonce in her bumble bee costume here. And of course we would like to extend our congratulations to Mrs Z!

It's great to see the continuing trend for people to wear regular costumes at Halloween. This has long been practised in the USA, where people see Halloween as an opportunity to dress up in any manner of costume, and the practise is starting to emerge in the UK as well. Indeed, quite a significant proportion of our Halloween sales were for regular costumes. Personally I would always go for a zombie costume myself, but then that probably says more about my personality than anything else!
