With expensive baby gifts reportedly coming in from the likes of Oprah Winfrey, new mommy Beyonce is being spoiled by everyone around her, including her former Destiny’s Child bandmates, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

Drop-dead gorgeous in Roberto Cavalli and Mark Bouwer gowns on the red carpet of the 2012 BET Honors in Washington, D.C., Rowland and Williams couldn’t help gushing about their 10-day-old niece. “[Blue Ivy] is beautiful,” said Williams, in D.C. to support Rowland, who performed the song “Fantasy” in a tribute to honoree Mariah Carey.

“We’ve been doing everything, whatever [Beyonce] needs,” said Williams. Though there is one thing the ladies can’t help their superstar friend with. “No breastfeeding,” joked Williams. “Ain’t no milk coming out.”
