Beyoncé has never been caught off her fashion guard—even while pregnant—so naturally she's not going to let a little thing like motherhood cramp her style.

The new mom, 30, was snapped yesterday while taking a stroll in New York City with her mother, Tina Knowles, and newest little "Single Lady," Blue Ivy Carter.

What impresses us most is that...

The singer looked like she'd left her "Ego" behind in this simple black blazer, oversize gold hoops, round-rim glasses, black felt hat and matching black Baby Björn carrier.

It's almost unnatural to see the diva without her signature sky-high heels, but she makes the penny loafers work by pairing them with cropped pants.

OK, the cut of the pants and small triangular pattern aren't very flattering, and they droop in the crotch, but hey, she's a new mom! The fact that she remembered to put pants on at all is fantastic.
