The singer and her producer husband Swizz Beatz recently celebrated their 6 year wedding anniversary, where he surprised her with a massive 32ct $2 million ring! See the video below.
Alicia’s maternity style for both pregnancies was a mixture of glam and comfort. As an entertainer, she looked glam for all her red carpet events and on stage performances but off stage, she look easy breezy comfortable. She’s known for her slight tomboy style and signature braids with beads at the end and she stayed true to those things, rocking her braids at events and wearing comfortable sneakers and jackets.
Let’s start with her Performance Outfits
For these looks she mixed jumpsuits and rompers with high waist cuts and a jacket to flatter her bump.
