Beyonce's Size 2 New Skinny Body: Can You Say Edamame, Cukes, + Beans?

Well, we almost did NOT recognize the superstar, either, at the 2014 Grammy's opening show. But there she stood.....skinny + fit.

Gone were the curvy hips + thighs that made her famous.

Beyonce's designed herself a new shape, and she's looking sexy in a size 2.

Yes...that is tiny by most standards. On a short frame like Beyonce's, that is still quite healthy-looking to us. And yes, she has retained the hourglass shape but down-sized it by half.

The man who designed her peek-a-boo, flirty, lacy number was a former Project Runway show contestant--Michael Costello:

In an interview with E! News, Michael said: "It was incredible! We didn't have any of her sizes or measurements. The dress was just made to fit a sample mannequin.

"It's smaller than a size 4. She is tiny! That dress is at least a 2/4. She looks amazing. I just love the way it all came together."

The glamorous Drunk in Love singer has worked extremely hard to shed some lbs., as she and famous rap star husband Jay-Z both embarked on a 22-day vegan diet.

Oh, yeah.....edamame, cukes + beans became a way of life for the super couple. Those were considered snacks.

The main part of the vegan diet included a 22-day cleanse eating nothing but fruit and plants.

Sounds simple enough?

Well, a vegan plan also bars products from animals such as eggs, dairy, or even honey.

Will Beyonce + Jay-Z remain vegan?

We're not sure.

We've learned it's not always lipo and other cosmetic enhancements that celebs turn to for instant body + facial beauty. Some of them, like Beyonce, REALLY put in the hard work, be it the gym + diet.
