Beyonce's husband Jay-Z loves it when the singer wears flat shoes. The 'Love On Top' hitmaker - who was recently named People Magazine's 'Most Beautiful Woman' - has had to ditch her heels since welcoming baby daughter Blue, much to her husband's delight. She said: "I never thought there would be a day when I wouldn't wear heels. "Now that I have a child, I walk around holding her all day, I'm buying loafers and oxfords. I love them because they're comfortable, and shorter heels too. " loves it when I wear flat shoes, which is surprising - he never saw me in flats before! He likes me more natural - just he relaxed, natural me." The down-to-earth first-time mother also reveals she shuns expensive stylists in favour of a bit of DIY when it comes to her hair. She told People Magazine: "I recently cut two inches myself - I just parted it in the middle and chh-chh-chh!" Having lost the majority of the baby-weight through breastfeeding, the singer is now working out three times a week and has embarked on a protein-based diet to help get her toned body back. She added: "I'm definitely softer, but I feel my body bouncing back."

BEYONCÉ is named PEOPLE’s World’s Most Beautiful Woman 2012 in the magazine’s special double issue, now celebrating its 23rd year. This marks the ninth time the pop superstar singer and actress has made the coveted list. She is joined by fellow “Most Beautiful Woman” Hall of Famers Julia Roberts (13 times), Nicole Kidman (10 times), and Mad Men’s breakout star, Jessica Paré, a newcomer to the list. The 178 fabulous faces featured in the issue also include such gorgeous guys as David Beckham, Blake Shelton, and Ashton Kutcher, plus PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive, Bradley Cooper. BEYONCÉ is an entertainment force of nature, a 16-time Grammy winner, a beauty and style icon – and is now proudest of the title that happens to be her most recent – mommy to little Blue Ivy Carter. "I feel more beautiful than I’ve ever felt because I’ve given birth," she tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview. "I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth." The "Crazy in Love" singer, 30, and her husband of four years, Jay-Z, 42, have gone gaga for Blue, born Jan. 7 in New York City. "She's just the cutest thing," gushes BEYONCÉ, who croons one-of-a-kind tunes to her daughter and professes to "love" changing diapers. So who does her daughter most resemble? "She looks like Blue," says BEYONCÉ, who is back to her pre-baby weight and gearing up for her first post-baby concerts, Memorial Day weekend at the Revel Atlantic City. "She's her own person." "The best thing about having a daughter is having a true legacy," she adds. "The word 'love' means something completely different now." More of BEYONCÉs exclusive interview with PEOPLE, in which she shares her beauty secrets, reveals how she lost the baby weight and sets the record straight on all the rumors, is on newsstands Friday, April 27.

Even new moms have to get their dance on! And Beyoncé did just that Friday night. She joined younger sister Solange and two female friends for a girls' night out at New York City's W.I.P. nightclub. The quartet let loose on the dance floor and jived to the club's mix of disco, '90s and hip-hop music. "Beyoncé looked amazing and was having a great time with her friends," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "She was very laid back, smiling and in a great mood." Off the dance floor, Beyoncé, who gave birth to daughter Blue Ivy Carter just three and a half months ago, chatted and shared some laughs with her pals while sipping on vodka drinks at a corner VIP booth. At one point, Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr. came to the table to say hello. The girls night out wrapped up around 3 a.m.

“Working with Jay has always been an honor for me from three years ago to now. My view hasn’t changed. I’m so happy to be part of a great family and to be part of a voice that is hugely respected in the music industry and to be under his wing is just really lucky but also an amazing learning experience as an artist. I’m just around these amazingly talented people that have been doing this for a long time and to have them worry about me and stuff like that is great. I just hope I do everybody justice. “I get nervous every single time not because of who or what Jay-Z is but because it’s your music. I wouldn’t want anyone to think of the worst. I’m so protective over myself that he just calms me down more than anything. He’s like ‘Chill, let me hear it.’ And it ends up being great and everything’s fine but it’s just that process. It’s good stress though, I would never do anything else. If I didn’t get that feeling, I would feel like I was lost. “Beyoncé’s the family too, she’s a great lady and now she’s an amazing mom and she just tells me when things are going great and she’s just such a supportive wife and a friend. She’s just amazing to be around.”

The show will take place at Las Vegas' MGM Grand and be broadcast live on ABC on May 20.

Beyonce has joined in alongside her famous peers in paying last respects to the late American radio and television personality, Dick Clark. Clark died on April 18 at the age of 82, after succumbing to a heart attack.

"Thank you Dick Clark for all the times you touched my life.

You introduced a generation to rock & roll on American Bandstand and your New Year's Eve celebration brought people together through television.

You created so many opportunities for so many artists.

You will be sadly missed. -B"
