The If I Ain't Got You singer, 41, was simply stunning in the black-and-white wedding snaps taken in 2010 when she was seven months pregnant with her eldest son Egypt. The expectant mother looked gorgeous in a flowing Grecian gown designed by Vera Wang, which featured a one-shouldered, cut-out neckline with draped material that cascaded from an embellishment on the back.

To accommodate Alicia's blossoming baby bump, which she could be seen cradling in the photos, the designer gown boasted a fitted waist and a loose skirt. She finished off her Grecian look by styling her hair in a chic bun and adding a forehead bridal headpiece.
