It looks like the stress of the past few weeks along with looking after baby Blue Ivy may be getting to Beyonce.
The 31-year-old star looked tired and wan as she arrived to rehearse for her Super Bowl performance in New Orleans earlier this week.
Wearing no make-up and a woolly hat, the singer looked a far cry from her usual glamorous self.

The singer was accompanied by her mother Tina Knowles, who looked more well-put together than her daughter in a bright turquoise top.
However, the star is transformed from dowdy to dazzling in a new Super Bowl promo photograph released on Tuesday.
Dressed as a football referee in a striped and black hot pants, Beyonce shows off her curvy figure in daring thigh high boots.

But there was no sign of Beyonce’s husband Jay-Z or their one-year-old daughter as the star prepared for her latest rehearsal.
Beyonce recently opened up about how motherhood has changed her. She told GQ magazine: ‘Giving birth made me realise the power of being a woman. I have so much more substance in my life.
‘And expressing that excitement and that sensuality and the connection I have with my husband — I’m a lot more comfortable with that now. I actually feel like my child introduced me to myself.’

Meanwhile, the singer is gearing up to perform in front of millions around the world on Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
The singer will be hoping to put the recent lip syncing controversy of her Inauguration performance behind her by putting on a dazzling show.
She was accused of miming the National Anthem at President Obama’s inauguration ceremony, when a spokesman for the Marine Corps Band said she opted for a pre-recorded track of the song instead of singing live.
But hours later, a Marine spokesman backed off the claim and insisted he didn’t know one way or the other: ‘No one in the Marine Band is in a position to assess whether it was live or pre-recorded’.
Meanwhile, Beyonce is already stirring up a frenzy of anticipation for Sunday’s show.
She added several new pictures of herself in rehearsal via her Instagram site on Tuesday, including shots of her lying on the ground laughing in the same hat.
Another photograph showed her sporting a striped jumpsuit smiling alongside a guitar player.
