Whenever Beyoncé attends a fashion week show, it immediately becomes the most talked-about event of the season (that's a give-in). And on the first day of Paris Men's Fashion Week, Pharrell Williams and Louis Vuitton claimed the highest honor, welcoming the pop star to their A-list front row.
Mere minutes before lights dimmed and the first model emerged, Beyoncé snuck into the venue wearing a custom denim jumpsuit created for her by the luxury label. The dark indigo number felt decidedly Cowboy Carter-coded, with its plunging neckline, bootcut hem, and rodeo-ready belt.
Inspired by her Cowboy Carter tour costumes, Beyoncé layered a burgundy fur coat atop her shoulders, courtesy of LaQuan Smith's Spring 2025 collection. The trick is one stylist Shiona Turini utilizes regularly in Beyoncé's on-stage wardrobe. She has dressed the pop star in numerous shearling coats, capes, hats, and boots throughout her global performances.
Beyoncé then finished her cowgirl 'fit with a brown 10-gallon cowboy hat, which sat atop voluminous bombshell curls. The chocolate-hued hat matched her paisley-studded Louis Vuitton top-handle bag. The one-of-a-kind piece drew inspiration from the brand's luxe luggage.
As always, the pop star's jewelry was top-tier. She sported Messika's rare Fragment of Time Necklace, which boasts a 36-carat yellow diamond and another 33-carat white diamond. According to Messika's website, the sparkler features 232 diamonds, reaching a total of 129 carats. Its price tag is a mystery, but these stats suggest it's falls somewhere in the six-figure range.
After the show's final walk, Williams took the runway himself and made a beeline beyline to the singer. He presented Beyoncé with a caramel-striped Speedy Bandoulière 20 right there on the runway.
The micro duffel made its debut only minutes earlier, making Bey the first person to ever carry it (apart from the model, of course).
Something tells me this bag is about to have a major moment.

Bed j.w. Ford Spring 2026 Menswear Collection
Elegance has been one of the main recurring themes at the men's collections this season. Many designers are grappling with what it means in a post-streetwear, post-covid world to dress with ease, sophistication and effortlessness. Soft tailoring, glitzy embellishment and pajama silhouettes abound. A brand for whom elegance is not just a trend but part of its DNA is Bed j.w. Ford, whose floaty and romantic tailoring has been throwing dressed-up flair since its debut show back in 2016. Building on last season's theme of 'alternative elegance,' this tight spring collection was a continuation of Shinpei Yamagishi's exploration of elegance rendered in clothing. When asked what elegance means to him at his quaint presentation in Le Marais today, the designer smiled. 'It's a very difficult question for me to answer,' he sighed. 'I've been searching for it for a long time. I have a strong desire for it and an image of elegance, but when I'm asked what it means, I run away.' To make that image a reality, he drew inspiration from the easy nostalgia of Normal Rockwell. 'When I look at his paintings, I think that even though I haven't experienced that, they make me feel nostalgic and happy, I aimed to channel that mood in the collection,' he said. That translated into a relatively pared back (at least for Yamagishi) and bijou collection that included oversized flocked denim jackets, softly marled tailoring, and a Chanel tweed-inspired jacket made from knitted black cotton. Flourishes of Bed j.w. Ford glamour came through in the metallic brocade scarves, glittery socks and a shock of scarlet tailoring. Something completely new for the brand was polka dots, which appeared on neckties and sheer shirts. Close inspection revealed that each little dot was rough around the edges, as though they had each been hand-drawn. Elegant indeed. What Yamagishi doesn't say with words, he says with clothes.

Simon Wiesenthal Center Slams ‘Bland' Glastonbury Festival Response to ‘Death to IDF' Chant: ‘It's Cowardice'
The Glastonbury Festival's official response to chants of 'Death to the IDF' and 'From the river to the sea' from the stage this weekend was slammed Sunday by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, with the Jewish advocacy group's CEO calling the statement 'bland,' 'cowardice' and 'complicity.' Glastonbury organizers said in a Sunday Instagram post that they are 'appalled' by the onstage statements of the punk duo Bob Vylan, whose singer led the crowd on Saturday in a series of chants including 'Death, death to the IDF' and 'Free Palestine.' 'Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence,' the festival and organizer Emily Eavis posted Sunday. Jim Berk, CEO of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said the onstage display 'was not just disgraceful; it was sickening, dangerous, and chillingly reminiscent of a modern-day Nazi rally.' He was equally unimpressed with the festival's response. 'Saying the chants merely 'crossed a line' and offering vague 'reminders' to artists is not accountability — it's cowardice,' Berk said. 'When confronted with explicit calls for violence against Jews, anything short of absolute condemnation and corrective action is complicity.' Read Berk's entire statement below: 'What happened on the stages of Glastonbury yesterday was not just disgraceful; it was sickening, dangerous, and chillingly reminiscent of a modern-day Nazi rally. When Bob Vylan chanted 'Death, death to the IDF' and Kneecap urged fans to 'start a riot' outside a court where one of their members faces terrorism-related charges, it was public incitement, not performance. The explicit calls for violence against Jews, broadcast live by the BBC without interruption, literally gave hate a stage, a microphone, and the stamp of legitimacy of one of Britain's most respected public institutions. This was a calculated act of hate speech, glorifying violence and dehumanizing Jews through the demonization of Israel. The bile once spewed at fascist rallies in 1930s Europe is now being blasted from British concert stages, cheered on by huge crowds and broadcast by taxpayer-funded media. If festival organizers and broadcasters can't (or won't) foresee violent speech against Jews, the Glastonbury concert-goers certainly could: horrifically, the crowd of thousands was primed to join in call and response to Bob Vylan's hateful chant. At Coachella earlier this year, we saw similar antisemitic themes thinly disguised as activism. Cultural spaces once devoted to peace and unity are being hijacked to mainstream hate. And Glastonbury's bland response? Saying the chants merely 'crossed a line' and offering vague 'reminders' to artists is not accountability—it's cowardice. When confronted with explicit calls for violence against Jews, anything short of absolute condemnation and corrective action is complicity. On October 7, 2023, hundreds of young people were massacred and taken hostage by Hamas terrorists at Israel's Nova music festival. To hear calls for the death of Jews at a music event in the UK is deeply retraumatizing and terrifying. When young Jews attend a music festival they are murdered: when young Britons attend one, they're calling for those murders. This is a moment of reckoning. Festival organizers, media outlets, and artists must choose: will they be platforms for peace, or enablers of hate? Because silence is not neutrality, it is a green light for bigotry. Festivals must be prepared to halt performances that invoke hate; broadcasters must air festivals on deferred live and use their kill switch to take hate speech immediately off the air. Never again is not a slogan: It's a responsibility. And it's being betrayed on the world's biggest stages.'

Beyoncé's flying car prop tilts mid-air in scary malfunction during ‘Cowboy Carter' tour
Beyoncé experienced a frightening moment during her Cowboy Carter tour stop in Houston, Texas, over the weekend. While performing '16 Carriages' Saturday night in a car prop suspended above the audience, the vehicle suddenly stopped and tilted mid-air, prompting the singer to momentarily pause her performance. 'Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop,' Beyoncé can be heard saying in a video obtained by ABC News, just before the music was cut. 'Thank you for your patience,' she added. The crowd erupted in cheers to show their support as the car was slowly lowered back to the stage. In the video, Beyoncé is seen gripping one of the support cables while suspended in the air. After safely returning to the stage, she finished her performance of '16 Carriages' and addressed the audience. "I wanna thank y'all for loving me," she said. "If ever I fall, I know y'all will catch me." Later that night, Beyoncé's company, Parkwood Entertainment, released a statement via Instagram story confirming the incident. 'Tonight in Houston, at NRG stadium, a technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyoncé uses to circle the stadium, and see her fans up close, to tilt,' the statement read. 'She was quickly lowered and no one was injured. The show continued without incident.' Beyoncé has since shared photos from the concert, including an image of the mishap, writing in the caption, 'I love you, Houston.' The Cowboy Carter tour, in support of Beyoncé's eighth studio album of the same name, kicked off in April at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Following a stop in France, the tour arrived in Houston over the weekend and will continue in Maryland and Georgia before wrapping in Nevada at the end of July.
