Leona Lewis has shared the first adorable look at her baby, Carmel, in her latest cover shoot.
The former X Factor winner, 37, welcomed her first daughter, Carmel, with husband Dennis Jauch in July.
Since then, new mum Leona has been careful about showing her little one's face on social media as she cleverly managed to keep her daughter's identity under wraps - until now.
For the first time ever, the Bleeding Love singer has been pictured publicly with her lookalike daughter in her incredible new cover shoot with Vogue Arabia.
The striking images see an incredibly glamorous Leona modelling an off-the-shoulder rust-coloured gown with a daring thigh-split as she balances her beaming baby on her hip.

During the candid interview with Vogue, Leona discussed becoming a first-time-mum and how she is navigating her journey with motherhood.
"It’s one of the most rewarding yet challenging roles in life. I am in awe of us as women, of all the mothers out there - and myself included," Leona said of motherhood.
"I’m proud of where women are at today, carving out careers for themselves in music. But I feel like behind the scenes, it’s still very unfair, and there’s not a level playing field."

At the time, the singer shared a sweet snap which showcased a partial view of the newborn's face as she cradled the tot, who was wearing an adorable light pink onesie, and held on to her hubby's hand.
She captioned the post: "And then there were three. Our little Carmel Allegra arrived 22.7.22."
The 37-year-old and her 33-year-old dance star husband Dennis Jauch became first-time parents three years after they tied the knot together in July 2019.

Leona and Dennis first started dating back in 2010 after falling for each other when he was a backing dancer for the chart topping star.
They swapped vows in front of friends and family at a lavish ceremony in Tuscany, Italy, in July 2019 with 180 guests watching the pair say ‘I do’ in the grounds of a luxury vineyard.
Rumours emerged in March last year that the duo would become parents for the first time.
Shortly after, the singing sensation confirmed the news, posing on Instagram in a figure hugging black dress which proudly showed off her growing baby bump.
She captioned the image with the words: “Can’t wait to meet you in the Summer” alongside a red heart emoji.
