The star, who was dressed in skinny jeans and a blazer, used a huge patterned scarf to cover her stomach.
She was wearing gold heels, albeit much lower than her
usual six inch favourites.
It is the first time the star has been pictured since December 21 but witnesses had spotted the star
celebrating New Year’s Eve with her husband Jay-Z at Buttermilk Channel
in Brooklyn, New York.
