So THIS is where Beyoncé’s been hiding all her holiday snaps

Beyoncé may have fallen behind Kim in the Instagram followers stakes, but maybe that's because she's been saving all her best photos for her official website.

A quick look through Beyonce.com throws up loads of recent family holiday snaps, only a few of which have made it to Instagram.

Bey spent what looked like a glorious few days sailing around the East Coast shoreline with husband Jay-Z and daughter Blue Ivy, and the photo album, titled 'My Life,' offers a rare look into the lives of one of the music industry's most private couples.

The Queen B also blessed us with this no make-up selfie, showing her fresh-faced and totally #flawless.

Those lips!

Another favourite is this sweet (albeit blurry) snap of Beyonce and three-year-old Blue Ivy having a little cuddle on board, with the New York skyline in the background.

And here's Beyoncé looking downright amazing in her black-and-white snakeskin print one piece. If we had a booty like that, we'd be showing it off all the time too.

The notoriously private singer came under criticism this month for refusing to give an interview alongside her Vogue September issue cover shoot.

Every celeb who has graced the magazine's coveted cover has given some form of interview, most of them in-depth profiles with exclusive quotes. And while Beyoncé did indeed sit down with a reporter for her previous cover appearances in 2009 and 2013, she mysteriously refused to do so this time.

In fact a member of the singer's team recently revealed that Beyoncé had not answered a direct question to a journalist in more than a year, choosing to only do interviews via email. 

Seems like she is content to let her pictures do the talking from now on…
