In a highly anticipated performance, Beyonce took to the stage to sing Mother's Pride, revealing her burgeoning bump in public for the first time.

Wearing a gold sparkling gown which features sheer detailing, the stars figure was on full display.

Wearing an elaborate gold head dress, the star put on an ethereal performance with a number of dancers in flowing gowns dancing around her surrounded by flowers.

The performance also featured video footage of Beyonce with her bare bump on display being draped in fabric as more women appeared around her.

At the end of the song, the star grinned and blew lots of kisses to her husband and five-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, who was sat in the audience cheering her on.

The little girl looked super cute in a miniature version of Prince's Purple Rain suit, complete with ruffled shirt.

Beyonce lead the nominations with nine nods, but missed out on the Best Pop Solo Performance award, which went to Adele.
