Beyoncé and Jay-Z hit Kanye West's new album listening party - but Kim Kardashian was nowhere to be seen

Beyoncé and Jay-Z enjoyed some rare down time in New York last night, hitting Kanye West's album listening party.

But Kim Kardashian was nowhere to be seen.

The pair made a low-key appearance at the bash, held at Milk Studios in Manhatten, to celebrate the first listen of Kanye's Yeezus album.

The couple joined a host of stars - including rapper Busta Rhymes - in the crowd as Kanye treated the gathering to a sneaky listen of his new songs.

Once again proving herself the queen of off-duty dressing, Beyoncé looked every inch the style star, in skinny jeans, a white vest, printed jacket and black bowler hat.

But while the superstar and her hubby mingled with the crowd, Kanye's girlfriend Kim Kardashian was nowhere to be seen.

It's thought the reality TV star, who is eight months pregnant with their first child, isn't travelling this late into her pregnancy.

Yesterday Beyoncé hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons, after a 'slimmed down' sketch of the superstar was posted to Facebook by designer Roberto Cavalli.

Images of Bey wearing the Roberto Cavalli creation on stage during her Mrs Carter World Tour were shared online along with the original sketch, but the drawings seemed a far cry from her natural physique.

Fans soon took to Twitter to discuss the latest pic.

One wrote: 'Why would you do such a sketch that clearly doesn't reflect her shape?!

Another added: 'If this is supposed to be a sketch of Beyoncé why not actually draw Beyonce instead of some imaginative image which fits the status quo for sickly looking run way models??'

We're reserving judgement...
