Tina Knowles Embraces Sheer Dressing in Nadine Merabi Look for ‘Matriarch' Event
Tina Knowles made the latest stop on her 'Matriarch' promotional tour at The Fillmore in New Orleans on Saturday. The entrepreneur and designer joined daytime talk show host Tamron Hall for an onstage conversation about her new memoir. Knowles, mother of Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Solange Knowles, opted for a coordinated suit look courtesy of Nadine Merabi. The look featured a bold design, with white sequin embroidered lace mesh trousers and a complementary blazer.

Knowles' attire married ornate embroidery with a sheer nude mesh lining that broke the pattern, creating a high-contrast effect. The trousers of Knowles' look were crafted with a high waist, a mesh-faced waistband for comfort and a scalloped hem along the bottom. Finished with a mesh-bound zipper and seams for comfort, and a flair from the knee down. The coordinated blazer included such distinct elements as satin-covered shoulder pads with bound edges, a collar with satin edges and a scalloped hem along the bottom of the bodice, and the sleeves. Prior to Knowles' New Orleans appearance, the 'Matriarch' author attended an event with former First Lady Michelle Obama to launch her nine-city book tour in National Harbor, Md., on April 30. Obama, clad in a design from McQueen's spring 2025 collection, joined Knowles onstage for the event. Knowles' book tour, organized by Live Nation, features in nine cities and concludes in London on June 4. Knowles was joined by such high-profile figures as Katie Holmes and Lorraine Schwartz on April 22 for her book's launch event in New York City. She wore a dress from Stella McCartney's spring 2025 collection.

Must-see concerts this week: Charli XCX, Denzel Curry, Room3
It's another stacked week on Minnesota stages. Here's this week's look through the concerts happening around the Twin Cities. Monday, April 21 at The Cedar Cultural Center After winning a Latin Grammy for record of the year in 2014, Tijoux didn't release a full-length album until last year's Vida. That's already been followed with a new EP, Serpiente de madera. It's a busy stretch for the Chilean rapper who hasn't broken through in the U.S. like she has elsewhere, both as a solo artist and with her former hip-hop group, Makiza. Tijoux, who grew up with her family in political exile from Pinochet's dictatorship, may increasingly resonate with U.S. audiences between her new releases and the anti-capitalist, anti-dictator themes that are a constant in her music. Friday, April 25 at Orchestra Hall The Minnesota Orchestra is putting the 'vibrant future' of classical music on display with a program focused on contemporary composers. Conductor and Musical Director Thomas Søndergård will present works by Kevin Putts, Benjamin Webster, Elisa Arancio, Soomin Kin, and Andrew Faulkenberry in Friday's program. Saturday, April 26 at Target Center The pop star and her song of the summer didn't exactly come out of nowhere last year — she's been releasing music for more than a decade — but 'Brat' launched her to new heights. Her arena tour will bring her to the Target Center with Finn Keane opening this week. Saturday, April 26 at The Fillmore Curry's catalogue is stunningly deep for a rapper who is only 30. He's writing memorable raps and often showcases an impressive versatility (like on his most recent release, King of the Mischievous South). Yet, despite heaps of critical praise throughout his career and opening spots on tours with Run the Jewels, Billie Eilish, Kid Cudi, and A$AP Ferg, he's never had the breakthrough moment many thought was inevitable. Maybe that's to the benefit of fans who get to see him in the relative intimacy of The Fillmore this week. Sunday, April 27 at The Dakota Room3 isn't mis-genre'd (let's go with it) when referred to as jazz fusion, but when you listen to the group, that label feels like it tells just a fraction of the story. They experiment, genre-hop, and consistently wow. Room3 — featuring RAWTWHYLAH on drums, Beck Anderson on bass, Eli Awada on keyboards, Jovon Williams on saxophone, and Evan Espinoza Robles on percussion — will celebrate its new album at The Dakota with help from a whole lot of guests. Those will include DeCarlo Jackson, MMYYKK, iLLism, Madame Blu, LA Buckner, and on Monday, April 21: Ana Tijoux at The Cedar Cultural Center James Bay with Hunter Metts at First Avenue The String Queens at The Dakota Christopher Vondracek with Tony Cuchetti at The White Squirrel Bar (free) Rachel Bearinger and Roe Family Singers at 331 Club (free) Concerts on Tuesday, April 22: Paul Simon at Orpheum Theatre BoyWithUke with Ethan Bortnick at Palace Theatre Lady Blackbird at The Dakota John Splithoff with Evann McIntosh at Amsterdam Bar & Hall Smoking Popes and Off With Their Heads with Mary Jam at Turf Club Half Alive with The Walters and Mehro at The Fillmore Ergot, Pretty Pretty Please, The Grieving Pines, and Too Snoozed at Green Room Vlad Holiday with New Translations at 7th St. Entry Geoff Tate with Thomas McCarthy at Varsity Theater Johnny Lied at Aster Cafe International Reggae Allstars at Bunker's Ali Grey's Country Jamboree at The White Squirrel Bar (free) Unattractive Giant Monster with Dado Set and Big Into at The White Squirrel Bar (free) Eldest Daughter with DC Leonhardt and Tennessee Stiffs at 331 Club (free) Concerts on Wednesday, April 23: Paul Simon at Orpheum Theatre Dean Lewis with Henry Moodie at Palace Theatre Soulja Boy at Cabooze Tinsley Ellis at The Dakota Vincent Neil Emerson with Leon Majcen at Turf Club Electronicore 2025 at Green Room King Caesar, Curve, and Blacklighter at Zhora Darling The Silos 40th Anniversary Tour at The Parkway Theater Jane Remover with Dazegxd and d0llywood1 at 7th St. Entry Miya Folick with Olivia Kaplan at Amsterdam Bar & Hall Alex Warren with Michael Sanzone at Uptown Theater Wednesdays with Marijuana Death Squads at Icehouse Joywave with Little Image at Varsity Theater Sarah Morris and the Sometimes Guys at The White Squirrel Bar (free) Twin Town Strings at 331 Club (free)Concerts on Thursday, April 24: Varietopia with Paul F.
