Beyonce of course has become the queen of pregnancy announcements, breaking the Internet with her post that became the most-liked photo on Instagram after only a few hours. In the renaissance inspired image she kneels before an altar of flowers (to herself!) wearing mismatched sexy knickers and of course the pièce de résistance, a VEIL. She looks straight at the camera with a beatific fierceness. The singer captioned the image with, "We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. - The Carters. " She also shared a photoshoot on her website showing off the baby-bump. We honestly expected no less. Photo: Instagram/beyonce -

If anyone was to come close to matching Queen B, it would be our very own Zoë Foster Blake. Posting an image that bore a striking resemblance to that of Beyonce’s pregnancy announcement photo to Instagram on Thursday evening (did Hamish take the photo?), the 36-year-old wrote, “When @beyonce and I fell pregnant at the exact same time, we were so happy,” she wrote on Instagram. “We made a best friend pact to announce the news with high-concept, oversaturated floral imagery and mismatched lingerie on the SECOND of February. But not only did my ‘best friend’ announce her pregnancy on the FIRST of February, she added an extra baby to make sure HER announcement was more special. Unfortunately, as you can see, news of her betrayal came through mid-photo shoot, but you get the gist.” Photo: Instagram/ Zotheysay -
