Beyonce brings back iconic Crazy in Love tiny jean shorts 22 years later for Cowboy Carter tour
During Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter stop in Chicago at Soldier Field, she recreated her famous Crazy in Love music video ensemble, but added a bit of glitter to the look she first made famous in 2003.
In the famed music video, Beyoncé, then 21, donned a Prada tank top and on trend at the time J Brand low-rise jean shorts.
The pop superstar paired the early aughts look with red Stuart Weitzman heels.
Ty Hunter styled the look and told Vogue that they chose the look because 'we wanted to do something that the kids could emulate and copy.'
'Everything we did prior to that was so big and so glamorous, so we wanted to strip it down into something that the kids could emulate. That was important to Beyoncé,' Ty told the fashion magazine in 2023.
For her Chicago performance on Saturday, the Formation singer, now 43, opted for a custom glittering tank top and short shorts with blue gemstones courtesy of rising designer Sami Miro.
After Sami, the designer behind the sustainable Los Angeles-based brand, shared snaps of the outfit on Instagram, fans - called the Beyhive - quickly praised the style, calling it 'legendary' and a 'favorite look' of the tour.
Instead of 2000s-worthy red heels, Queen B updated the look with slouchy denim knee-high boots from luxury leather goods brand Loewe.
The Diva singer accessorized with $1,200 diamond David Koma earrings.
Beyoncé was styled by costume designer Shiona Turini for the high energy performance.
Fans on X (previously Twitter) praised the recreation, with many applauding how much healthier her hair looked and how fit she appeared for the tour.
The Cécred haircare founder has been showing off her love of jean shorts throughout her Cowboy Carter tour while embracing the cowboycore style she's helped to popularize.
After Beyoncé dropped her country album in March 2024 the coordinating western wear aesthetic had a major moment, with many fans wearing cowboy boots, bandanas, and denim to her tour.
She kicked off her Cowboy Carter Tour at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, in April, while wearing plenty of show-stopping ensembles, including a pair of tiny denim shorts paired with a sparkling silver top and thigh-high fluffy legwarmers.
The Single Ladies singer also posed in a pair of denim hot pants to promote her collaboration with Levi's.
In 2024, the Texas-born singer also busted out a pair of glittering jean micro-shorts to celebrate her Cowboy Carter album on Instagram.
The Texas Hold 'Em singer showed off her western look with a vintage Willie Nelson T-shirt and red, white, and blue boots.
The mom of three has been performing onstage with two of her children, Blue Ivy, 13, and Rumi, seven.
Now, the Destiny's Child alum is gearing up to hit MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Does Sydney Sweeney want to be the actress Gen Z loves to hate?
Right now, everyone is losing their minds over Sydney Sweeney's ad campaign for American Eagle denim. The 27-year-old actor who starred in Euphoria and The White Lotus has collaborated on a range of wide-legged jeans… and sparked a global outrage resulting in a non-committal explanation from the company. In her advert, she introduces the new Sydney Jeans by saying: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality, and even eye colour.' Once the camera has panned provocatively across the denim, as well as her blonde hair and her blue eyes, she declares: 'My jeans are blue.' In case you missed the not-so subtle appeal to all-Americanness and the play on the word 'jeans', a voiceover then states: "Sydney Sweeney has great genes." In the clip, the word 'genes' is crossed out and replaced with 'jeans' – which The Atlantic dismissed as 'a garden-variety dad pun'. The campaign has sparked an almighty backlash – and a debate about race and beauty standards – with some claiming the phrase 'great jeans', coupled with Sweeney's references to her hair and eye colour, recall white supremacy and eugenics, the discredited, racist belief once popularised by the Nazis that the human race can be improved through selective breeding. Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans" is and always was about the jeans. her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone. The backlash was swift. Doja Cat was seemingly so incensed by the ad that she recreated it, reciting Sweeney's words in an exaggerated southern US accent, and changing the slogan to: 'My jeans are blee.' Sayantani DasGupta, senior lecturer in the discipline of narrative medicine at Columbia University, is in no doubt that the ad – which is credited with helping boost American Eagle sales by $400million in a single day – is imbued with eugenic messaging: 'A woman of colour would not have been hired for this advertisement,' she says. Seemingly in a bid to do some damage control, American Eagle has since posted an image of a mixed-race model in their apparel, along with the caption: 'AE has great jeans.' When that didn't calm things down, it shared a written post saying: ''Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans'' is and always was about the jeans. her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone. ' Unfortunately, the reputational harm had already been done. Or has it? While there would have been many, many meetings before this commercial got signed off – and it's hard to believe no one spoke up and flagged the connotations as a potential issue – to place the blame squarely on American Eagle is a mistake. Because it risks underestimating Sweeney, who, in recent years, has apparently not only chosen to lean into a hyper-sexualised image of herself, but also taken the active decision to make controversy her personal brand. It really began in 2022, after Sweeney posted a series of images and videos from her mother's 60th birthday party – in which, viewers claimed, her 'family members' could be seen wearing Maga caps and 'Blue Lives Matter' tees. Her brother Trent was quick to defend the attire, stating that the hats actually read 'Make 60 Great Again', before she herself commented on the public's 'misinterpretations' of the situation. She told Variety at the time: 'There were so many misinterpretations. The people in the pictures weren't even my family [...] The people who brought the things that people were upset about were actually my mom's friends from LA who have kids that are walking outside in the Pride parade, and they thought it would be funny to wear because they were coming to Idaho.' Hilarious. More recently still, she was embroiled in another internet row over her 'bathwater soap'. Apparently due to huge demand, an unexpected collab came about because 'when your fans start asking for your bathwater, you can either ignore it, or turn it into a bar of Dr. Squatch soap'. Some rightly pointed out how gross this was from a hygiene point of view (I don't know about you, but I will not be lathering someone's scummy bath suds on me – no matter how famous they are), while others claimed it was a feminist triumph – after all, nothing screams 'empowerment' like pandering to a creepy fetish and making money by catering to the male gaze. Then came the bizarre campaign for Sweeney's new lingerie line, reportedly backed by Amazon boss Jeff Bezos, whose wedding to Lauren Sanchez she attended in June. It's not what she's selling that is the issue here though – nor is it necessarily her partnership with a man equally shrouded in controversy. It's that the promotional video for it was heavily influenced by Lolita. Prancing around on an estate lawn, dodging sprinklers in a cotton teddy and knickers, with dewy makeup and sunglasses which may as well have been heart-shaped not only infantilises Sweeney, but glorifies the lore around Vladimir Nabokov's transgressive story of a paedophile who grooms an underage girl, and proceeds to justify his actions. This isn't marketed towards the wearer – it's marketed towards men. And it's this part of her rebrand that is really confusing. Sweeney has spoken in the past of how she had 'no control' over how people sexualised her body, and how it has made her uncomfortable, detracting from her art. There are so many unnecessary nude scenes in Euphoria, it's more a showcase for her boobs than her acting abilities – which, by the way, she does have. Similarly, SNL viewers focused more on her low-cut dress than her comedic delivery when she hosted the show in 2024. Yet, in the American Eagle campaign, she is going full throttle – not just by 'embracing' her sexuality and the ridiculous narrative around her body, but also the right-wing messaging. So, what's it all for? Is it to remain relevant (she's had a number of acting gigs of late, but season three of Euphoria has been on ice for some time)? Is it simply a case of 'when life gives you lemons, make lemonade'? Or is this true-blue, all-American version her authentic self? There's a lot of nuance to this – and I'm not saying that women shouldn't have the right to do and say as they please. Equality is to allow women the freedom to do just that. But when that freedom is only enjoyed by a select few who can afford to use the world as their playground without a second thought of the wider implications of their behaviour, it doesn't sit right with me – even less so when what they say and do has racial undertones. What's equally frustrating is that Sweeney is talented. She's also a certain level of famous that doesn't require this kind of sellout behaviour; she's not some influencer desperate for brand partnerships. Will the real Sydney Sweeney please stand up – for her sake, as much as ours?

Lindsay Lohan opens up about being typecast in career
Lindsay Lohan has revealed she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to the intense and often hostile media attention she received at the height of her celebrity. The actor described her past experiences with paparazzi as 'terrifying moments' and 'invasive situations', expressing a wish that her family – which includes a two-year-old son – never endures similar treatment. Lohan also discussed her frustration with being typecast as a comedic actor, despite her desire for more diverse and 'meaty' parts. She expressed a longing for more story-driven films, similar to classics like All About Eve or Breakfast at Tiffany's. Lohan is set to appear in the forthcoming Hulu series Count My Lies and will also feature in the Freaky Friday sequel Freakier Friday, in cinemas from 8 August.

Nepo-baby with Hollywood star dad and award winning actress mum lands top role in new TV series – can you guess who?
A NEPO baby with very famous parents has bagged herself a huge new role in Netflix's Monster anthology, but can you guess who she is? The 25-year-old will play infamous alleged killer Lizzie Borden in the fourth season of Ryan Murphy's show. 4 Lizzie is an acquitted American woman who was the main suspect of murdering her dad and stepmum with an axe in 1982. The actress clearly has acting running through her veins as her dad has had a career as an actor and filmmaker, spanning over six decades. He played Clyde Barrow in the hit crime film Bonnie and Clyde in 1967 and also produced the project also. Meanwhile, her mum has starred in 1999 classic American Beauty and superhero film Captain Marvel which released in 2019. That's right, the star in question is Ella Beatty, daughter of the legendary actor Warren Beatty and Annette Bening. Ella made her foray into the acting world last year with a recurring role in the FX on Hulu anthology series Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, also directed American Horror Story creator Ryan. Proving she's a chip off of the old block, she starred on the big screen in A24 drama If I Had Legs I'd Kick You which released earlier this year and made her Broadway debut in Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' plays Appropriate. Ella's dad Warren, 88, made his own acting debut as a teenager in love in the Elia Kazan drama Splendor in the Grass in 1961. His illustrious career has seen him win an Academy Award, three Golden Globe Awards and the BAFTA Fellowship in 2002. He's also been nominated for 14 Academy Awards in total including four for Best Actor, four for Best Picture and two for Best Director. Bonnie and Clyde - Original trailer for crime and love story with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway The icon has directed five films, including 1981 epic historical drama Reds and 1990 crime action film Dick Tracy. Meanwhile, her mum Annette has had her own career spanning over four decades, winning numerous accolades including a BAFTA, two Screen Actors Guild Awards and two Golden Globe Awards. Warren and Annette met in November 1990 while working on the film Bugsy, where they were playing love interests. Warren, who also wrote the script, was casting the movie and thought of Annette for the role of Virginia Hill, Bugsy's girlfriend. The pair met for lunch to discuss the part and ended up connecting both professionally and personally. The two tied the knot in 1992 and went on to have four children together, Stephen, 33, Benjamin, 30, Isabel, 28 and Ella. 4
