    Beyonce dazzled as she showed off her incredible post baby body at the opening of her documentary

    Beyonce played a perfectly premeditated fashion move at the opening of her debut documentary, Beyonce, Life Is But A Dream. The songstress ensured all eyes were fixed on her as she paraded her flawless figure in a dazzling Elie Saab dress.

    The singer pulled out all the stops in a floor-length dress littered with glittering embellishment and added a seductive edge with a sheer paneled top. Beyonce walked the red carpet in New York in peep toe platform shoes in a nude shade with drop earrings as a finishing touch.

    Joining the singer at her documentary opening was sister Solange Knowles and friend Oprah Winfrey who interviewed Beyonce on stage before the film was unveiled. Husband Jay-Z later appeared at the after party to support the star.

    'I picked out names. I envisioned what my child would look like.. I was feeling very maternal. I flew back to New York to get my check up - and no heartbeat.’

    But it was this tragic turn of events that inspired the star to write a new song as she added: 'Literally the week before I went to the doctor, everything was fine, but there was no heartbeat. I went into the studio and wrote the saddest song I've ever written in my life.’
