Beyoncé Recreates Her Famous "Crazy in Love" Outfit on Tour
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. On Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour, every show is like fashion week for the Beyhive. With each new performance, the pop star debuts a series of fresh concert 'fits all in-line with the album's Americana themes. Thus far, Queen Bey has embraced traditional Western motifs. Her tour wardrobe has consisted of bandana prints, star spangled banners, assless chaps, and blue jeans in varying degrees of spice. The Chicago leg of her global tour stayed true to this aesthetic. Beyoncé performed in a range of outfits incorporating gold lamé, XL rodeo buckles, leather chaps, and a bejeweled varsity jacket, before changing into a sparkly tank top and denim short-shorts from Sami Miró. Styled by Shiona Turini, the look featured a crystal-encrusted bodice with dual-layered Daisy Dukes (or, as they'll henceforth be known, Beyoncés) embellished with royal blue jewels. Finishing touches included slouchy over-the-knee denim boots and a pair of dazzling pavé David Koma earrings that could undoubtedly be seen all the way in the nosebleed section. View Deal The cheeky 'fit was the least theatrical of the bunch, to be sure. But for members of the Bey Hive, it was certainly the most meaningful. Beyoncé's look paid tribute to one of her most famous songs to date, the 2003 hit "Crazy in Love." In the accompanying music video, a straight-haired Beyoncè can be seen sporting a very similar look to the one she wore just this week. Then, she wore a silvery tank top and low-rise denim shorts styled with a delicate gold body chain. The modern-day version was nearly identical, albeit yassified. Beyoncé's tour looks thus far have been designed by a range of luxury designers, from Burberry and Loewe to Roberto Cavalli. But it's her down-to-earth look from 2003 that was a momentous piece of history worth repeating.

Black Folks Respond to Trump's Plan to Take Revenge Against Certain Certain A-List Celebs
Months have passed since Beyoncé and other celebrities endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris for president. But now, in a late night, President Donald Trump revealed major plans for revenge aimed at some major celebrities. And as expected, many people— especially Black folks— are giving side eyes. Last year's campaign cycle was one for the books. From assassination attempts to Harris bringing Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland to her Texas rally, the country is still reeling from 2024... and so is Trump. In fact, the president took to Truth Social around 1:30a.m. on Monday (May. 19) to get some things off his chest. 'HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT,' he asked. 'WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN'T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ? ...AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO???' So now, he's calling for a formal investigation into Harris' campaign endorsements. Trump continued, 'I am going to call for a major investigation into this matter. Candidates aren't allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment.' But while Trump was busy calling Harris' actions 'illegal,' other folks took to social media to remind the president of his own track record. On X, @ArtCandee asked, 'Should we be asking how much he paid for his D-list 'entertainment' like Kid Rock and Lee Greenwood?' Harris wasn't the only candidate with celebrity endorsements. Who can forget when Kodak Black and Fivio Foreign endorsed Trump with their song, 'ONBOA47RD?' Or when Soulja Boy, Nelly and Snoop Dogg were paid to perform at the Trump-sponsored Crypto Ball in January. 'Obama ain't never put no money in my f*****g pocket... Kamala ain't never put no money in my f*****g pocket,' Soulja told his followers in January. Trump continued on Truth Social, 'In addition, this was a very expensive and desperate effort to artificially build up her sparse crowds. IT'S NOT LEGAL! For these unpatriotic 'entertainers,' this was just a CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL way to capitalize on a broken system.' @TheGeekRevolt tweeted in confusion, 'Didn't Elon literally pay for votes?' referring to when the Tesla CEO handed out literal $1 million checks to voters in Wisconsin back in March, according to AP News. Another user brought up when Musk launched a million dollar sweepstakes in November on Trump's behalf. 'Didn't el*n pay people from pennsylvania $1 million to vote for trump?? which he later thanked him for after inauguration,' @Heytommo31 tweeted. Other folks online called Trump 'a sore WINNER.' @YallQunt said, 'like who gives a s**t….b***h fix healthcare, minimum wage, the housing crisis, and the many REAL problems American citizens CARE ABOUT.' Many warned Trump really doesn't want the smoke with Queen Bey and the beyhive. 'The BeyHive is not going to be happy!!!! That's a fight I think trump won't win,' @DjOmegaMVP said. In the middle of what seems like Trump chaos, @ChidiNwatu asked folks what's the real reason behind Trump's frustrations. 'Anyone know what he's trying to distract us from this week?' @JessicaTarlov tweeted 'Donald Trump spent the night ranting about investigating Beyonce so that you would forget that House Republicans just moved a bill forward that would cut Medicaid.'

Severe weather a concern for Beyoncé concert at Chicago's Soldier Field Thursday night
Beyoncé was set to take the stage at Soldier Field Thursday night for the first night of her Cowboy Carter tour in Chicago, but as the BeyHive prepares to swarm, so does the threat of severe weather. Tickets have been dropping in price. On StubHub earlier Thursday, tickets were as low as $98, compared to about $140 on Wednesday. Meanwhile, those pouring into Soldier Field have also poured a lot into preparing for the show, in terms of outfits and looks. When CBS News Chicago asked about whether those people were bringing ponchos — as umbrellas are not allowed inside — they said no. The show must go on, and they came as they were. When Beyoncé brought her Renaissance Tour to Chicago in 2023, heavy rain forced Soldier Field to pause admissions and hold people in place. Beyoncé ended up starting late. But on Thursday, vendors were selling merchandise as if rain and storms were not a worry. They said their merch trailers have hard tops, and their windows also shut if they have to close up shop for rain or storms. The organizers at Soldier Field would not outline their exact plans should severe weather hit, but they did say they are focused on safety: "Our primary objective is to keep all our guests safe and secure. We have vast experience in handling severe weather on major event days. Our severe weather plans are ready to implement if the need should arise." Gates for the Beyoncé show open at 5 p.m., and the show starts at 7 p.m. — with more shows scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. At least some people attending the concert said they plan on attending a second show — hoping if they see rain Thursday, there will be better weather this weekend.

BeyHive buzzing in Chicago salons ahead of Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" shows at Soldier Field
Soldier Field soon will be packed by the BeyHive, as Beyoncé prepares for three nights of her Cowboy Carter Tour in Chicago. One place that's already buzzing is the beauty shop. The Beyhive was buzzing Wednesday inside Keystylist Salon in the Beverly neighborhood. Nia Miara Payne is going to see Beyoncé at Soldier Field on Saturday. It's the first time she's ever attended a Beyoncé show. "I told myself after the Renaissance Tour, when I didn't buy a ticket, that the next concert that she had or the next tour that she went on, I would actually buy a ticket," Payne said. After spending a pretty penny for floor seats, she had to make sure her hair was done just right. "I knew I wanted to wear a cowboy hat, so I knew that my hair needed to be down, but my hair is natural. So I needed some protective style," she said. She's getting a wig made, and Keystylist owner Kesha Levy is making it. Levy said Payne has been a loyal client since 2017. Levy, a stylist for 27 years, said she knew something was up when her clients asked for last-minute favors. "It's too many people calling to say, 'Can you fit me in?' When I get too many, 'Can you fit me ins' then I know something's going on in Chicago," she said. Levy's salon is normally closed on Wednesdays, but she opened her doors this Wednesday specifically for Beyonce fans. "My loyal clients, I had to come in, and I had to make sure I was there for them. And it takes no time," Levy said. Crews at Soldier Field were busy Wednesday setting up the stage for the first night of the Cowboy Carter Tour in Chicago, which kicks off Thursday night. As crews make final preparations, Levy will be spending her time in Beverly making sure her clients look their best. "We make sure we come sharp. Everybody in Chicago wants to be sharp," she said. Although Levy won't do Beyoncé's hair, she said Beyoncé's sign language interpreter will come to her salon this week to get her hair done for Saturday's show. Beyoncé's three shows at Soldier Field are set for Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, at 7 p.m. for each concert. As of Wednesday afternoon, some tickets were still available in the so-called "Sweet Honey Pit," a standing room only section right in front of the stage for $687 each. Available tickets range from $103 for limited view seating in the upper deck at Soldier Field to more than $9,500 for front-row seats in the floor section.

Citing Beyoncé bump, mayor wants Bey to stay longer
If Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" shows this weekend are anything like her "Renaissance" residency here in 2023, you can expect pop magic and a big fan named Mayor Brandon Johnson in the audience. Flashback: The last time she was here, the superstar famously waved and shouted "Hello, Brandon" as she soared over Soldier Field suspended by wires. The latest: We asked Johnson which night he'd be joining the BeyHive this time, but he demurred. What he's saying:"I'm grateful that we are attracting more big concerts," he told Axios. "Last year in 2024, our [hotel] occupancy rate downtown was almost 70% and our revenue from our downtown development and activity almost approached pre-pandemic numbers." By the numbers: Cities along the "Cowboy Carter" tour are seeing hotel prices surge by 178% while Airbnb searches for Chicago this weekend rose by 100% earlier this spring. Yes, but: Which night is the mayor attending? "As far as what I do outside of work, I haven't made a decision yet, quite frankly, but I wish she would stay two more days, because it certainly helps our revenue stream," he said.
