Beyoncé Goes Pantless in Chaps Featuring Almost 2,000 Pieces of Fringe
The show featured multiple costume changes, and one of the looks was a stunning Mugler number.
She sported a formfitting custom Mugler bodysuit and paired it with a matching jacket and buckled chaps, both of which feature over 1,000 pieces of fringe.Beyoncé kicked off her highly anticipated Cowboy Carter tour in Inglewood, California, yesterday, and her fans got to see not only her one-of-a-kind stage presence, but also her killer fashion sense. The pop star loves a bodysuit when performing, and this tour is no different. She worked with Mugler on one of the many looks for the night, which features her signature corseted white bodysuit, along with a jacket and buckled chaps that featured 1,740 laser-cut bonded fringes.
Mugler uploaded a video to its Instagram account, sharing the process of creating Queen Bey's stunning cowboy-themed outfit. The video shows designers cutting the fringe, making the belt buckle holes, and stitching the label to one of the pieces. Interspersed are photos of Beyoncé onstage in the outfit with her song, "Ya Ya," playing in the background.
Her latest tour comes after she put out Act II of what is rumored to be a three-act trilogy album project that started with Renaissance in 2022. After she released that album, she embarked on a highly successful tour in 2023 and then released Cowboy Carter in 2024. The three-album trilogy is shaping up to be an in-depth analytical look at reclaiming different genres of music that were created and popularized by Black artists, but were later co-opted by white stars.
The tour is also turning into a family affair. On night one, she brought out her daughters, 13-year-old Blue Ivy and Rumi, as she sang her song "Protector."
The Cowboy Carter tour is shaping up to be an exciting endeavor. The set list is over 30 songs long and it includes her rendition of the Beatles song, "Blackbird," along with some of her older songs like "Formation," "Diva," and "Freedom."

‘Highest 2 Lowest': Are Rotten Tomatoes Reviews High On Denzel Washington Film?
Highest 2 Lowest —Denzel Washington's latest film with director Spike Lee — is new in theaters this weekend. How are Rotten Tomatoes critics reacting to crime drama? Rated R, Highest 2 Lowest opens in limited release on Friday. The official summary for the film reads, 'When a titan music mogul (Denzel Washington), widely known as having the 'best ears in the business'' is targeted with a ransom plot, he is jammed up in a life-or-death moral dilemma. 'Brothers Denzel Washington and Spike Lee reunite for the 5th in their long working relationship for a reinterpretation of the great filmmaker Akira Kurosawa's crime thriller High and Low, now played out on the mean streets of modern day New York City.' Highest 2 Lowest, which staged its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes International Film Festival in May, also stars Jeffrey Wright, A$AP Rocky, Ilfenesh Hadera and Wendell Pierce. As of Thursday, Rotten Tomatoes critics have collectively given Highest 2 Lowest a 92% 'fresh' rating based on 92 reviews. The RT Critics Consensus for the film reads, 'Spike Lee and Denzel Washington remix a classic with vibrantly contemporary results in Highest 2 Lowest, a swaggering thriller that lovingly showcases New York City.' The RT audience summary and Popcornmeter score based on verified user ratings is still pending. What Are Individual Critics Saying About 'Highest 2 Lowest'? Steve Pond of The Wrap is among the top critics on RT who gives Highest 2 Lowest a 'fresh' review on RT, writing, 'Highest 2 Lowest is a mixture of gleaming, professional filmmaking and curious choices. It's a showcase for a classic powerhouse, [Denzel] Washington, and an upstart one, A$AP Rocky.' Robert Daniels of is also high on Highest 2 Lowest, writing in his 'fresh' RT review summary, 'Unabashedly epic, fearlessly funny, and proudly Black, Highest 2 Lowest might derive from a Japanese filmmaker. But its soul clearly resides in [Spike] Lee." Also alluding to Spike Lee's direction of Highest 2 Lowest in his RT review summary is David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter, who writes, 'The director is in the role of the flashy, panache-y showman here, and he plays it to perfection, delivering a big, highly polished chunk of movie that's pure enjoyment.' Lindsey Bahr of The Associated Press also gives the film a 'fresh' review on RT, but has some reservations, writing, 'Highest 2 Lowest may not reach the heights of some of Lee's best films, but it's the kind film that makes you hope Lee and Washington have more to make together.' John Bleasdale of Time Out is one of the two top critics on RT who have given Highest 2 Lowest a 'rotten' rating to date, writing, '[Spike] Lee has made stunningly good crime thrillers – Clockers and 25th Hour – but like his protagonist, here he appears to be struggling to stay relevant and still use his own unique voice.' Tim Grierson of Screen International is the other top critic on RT who gives Highest 2 Lowest a 'rotten' rating, writing, 'Ultimately, the picture's energetic swirl comes across as slightly hollow, its barrage of themes and impulses never finding harmony.' Highest 2 Lowest opens in limited release in theaters on Friday.

Music Legend Claps Back at Piers Morgan Over Beyoncé Comments
Music Legend Claps Back at Piers Morgan Over Beyoncé Comments originally appeared on Parade. Dionne Warwick isn't tolerating Piers Morgan's criticism of Beyoncé. After Beyoncé participated in a Marilyn Monroe-inspired ad campaign for Levi's, Morgan accused the singer of "cultural appropriation." "Very disappointed to see Beyoncé culturally appropriate Marilyn Monroe in her new Levi's ad." he wrote on X. The Levi's campaign shows the Cowboy Carter singer styled with platinum blonde curls, winged eyeliner, and red lipstick, channeling Monroe's old Hollywood aesthetic. Some pointed out similarities to Sydney Sweeney's controversial American Eagle ad, which also promotes a pair of classic American blue jeans. Shortly after Morgan's comments, Warwick took to X to defend the pop star. "Getting involved in women's business again, I see…" the music legend wrote. Fans immediately took to the replies to react to Warwick's unexpected defense of Beyoncé "It's giving obsessed" one fan wrote about Morgan alongside a crying emoji, to which Warwick replied, "Correct." "Whack him again" said another commenter. "Dionne we are always living for your Twitter clapback." added a third. Some members of the Beyhive were surprised by Warwick's comment due to her previous criticism of the singer. In 2019, the hitmaker sparked controversy when she said Beyoncé had yet to reach icon status. "I have an admiration for Beyoncé Knowles, Carter now. Watching her growth has been quite refreshing. It's wonderful to see how she's been able to create what and who she wanted to be and who she is… very proud of that, I really am," Warwick told Essence at the time. "Now sustaining and becoming a big icon that Gladys Knight, or Patti LaBelle, or Johnny Mathis, or Frank Sinatra, or Sammy Davis Jr. is? I doubt that," Warwick continued. "I love her to death and can appreciate her talent. But that iconic status? It's a long road [ahead]." After her comments went viral, Warwick quickly clarified what she really meant. "It takes a long time to reach and achieve iconic status," Warwick said. "That's not to say that Beyoncé isn't well on her way. She is a gifted performer. That was a reach from Essence."

Trap Queens Drop Game: Wright & Pearson's Prison-to-TV Journey
Source: Reach Media / Urban One The energy was electric when Angela 'Free' Wright and Felicia 'Snoop' Pearson stepped into the studio to discuss BET Plus's 'American Gangster: Trap Queens Edition.' These two powerhouses didn't just come to chat—they came to drop wisdom that hit different. Wright, who spent 14 years locked up before her early release, kept it 100 about redemption. 'Felons, once you're a felon, everybody say it's over,' she shared, her voice carrying the weight of lived experience. But Wright flipped that narrative, explaining how redemption isn't just a second chance—it's another chance for everyone who's fallen short. TRENDING STORIES: Turk Opens Up About Joseph, Hot Boys Legacy, and Overcoming Adversity Kirko Bangz Drops Gems on Growth, Authenticity, and 'Choose Self' Bellygang on Hometown Love, and Lil Wayne's Impact on His Journey Snoop, the beloved Wire alumni, brought that authentic Baltimore energy, talking about getting fired from a book factory and almost returning to the streets. 'I got three strikes against me—I'm Black, I'm gay, and a felon,' Snoop said with raw honesty that had the room nodding in respect. We care about your data. See our privacy policy. The conversation got deep when they discussed watching their own stories unfold on screen. Wright described it as 'God's grace being sufficient,' while Snoop admitted needing therapy but struggling with cultural barriers around mental health in the Black community. Their advice to young people caught in the game? Wright didn't sugarcoat it: 'Don't do it.' She broke down the math—all the money she made wasn't worth missing her son grow from 10 to 25 years old. That's the kind of real talk that saves lives. Both women emphasized how their platform gives hope to the nearly 2 million people currently incarcerated in America. 'We give other people hope,' Snoop emphasized, speaking to those walking the same dirty prison hallways they once knew. From Wright's 'Break Free' podcast to her book 'Pit to Palace Mentality' and Snoop's upcoming projects, these Trap Queens aren't just telling their stories—they're changing the game entirely.
