Trust Beyoncé to make a major fashion statement — and wear something totally unique — for her big baby reveal.
On Friday, the 35-year-old pop star shared her first picture of her new twins, Rumi and Sir Carter, posing for an ethereal floral photoshoot with the babies that mirrored her internet-breaking pregnancy announcement.
But as Vogue has revealed, it's not technically a dress she's wearing in the picture. Rather, she's wearing a romantic, flowing jacket by a meanswear line called Paloma Spain.

Backstory: Designer Alejandro Gómez Palomo sent Beyoncé a sample on loan and she loved it so much she ordered a version tailored for her
In her pregnancy announcement earlier this year, Beyoncé's apparel choice was very clearly for women — she just wore a bra, panties, and a veil, after all.
But this time around, the proud mom picked a unique piece from a 'romantic' menswear label.
The designer behind the brand, Alejandro Gómez Palomo, had lent Beyoncé a sample last fall. Promotional images of the 'gown' — which is 'the shape of a big fur coat — sleeved and open — show it modeled by a male model named Jason Harderwijk.
Queen Bey liked it so much that she ordered her own to keep. Palomo's team took her measurements and made her a custom piece tailored just for her.

!['This is a really big surprise, obviously. I love the picture,' Palomo said of Bey wearing the item for her shoot](http://web.archive.org./web/20170716060957/http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/07/14/16/42571F7200000578-4697162-image-a-24_1500045930277.jpg)
'This is a really big surprise, obviously. I love the picture,' Palomo said of Bey wearing the item for her shoot
And it's truly a unique piece, according to the designer.
'It is vintage silk organza from a really old couture textile shop in Córdoba, Spain, which is near where I live,' he said. 'It is circa either the 1950s or the 1960s. I thought, Oh my God, I am so in love with this fabric. It had a midcentury quality — but we changed that. It's exquisite… and I can never find it again, of course.'
Despite that, Palomo was convinced that Beyoncé would never actually end up wearing it, because soon after she was sent her tailored version, she got pregnant.
Beyoncé announced the news on February 1, and Palomo thought, 'OK, she won’t wear it, oh well.'
Not only did she end up wearing it, but the photo of Bey in the dress has already racked up nearly seven million likes in about ten hours.

'This is a really big surprise, obviously. I love the picture,' Palomo said. 'It's just really beautiful. It's special.'
Beyoncé posed for the noteworthy snaps at her lavish Malibu home, which boasts 'unobstructed views' of the Pacific Ocean, 14 bathrooms, 10 bedrooms and a 25ft infinity pool.
Set on a bluff overlooking the sea, La Villa Contenta — which Bey and Jay are renting until the end of August — has extensive 6.3 acre grounds, which contain a rose garden with more than 1,000 flower bushes, a landscaped desert area and a tennis court complete with a viewing deck.
Other buildings on the estate, which is listed for sale at $54.5m, include a 'natatorium' – or pool house – 'inspired by grand European follies', a large office building and a staff housing complex.
