Beyoncés '16 Carriages' car malfunctions mid-air during Cowboy Carter Houston concert
Beyoncé delivered another memorable moment during her Cowboy Carter Tour in Houston when a stage prop malfunctioned mid-performance.
While performing '16 Carriages,' the Grammy Award-winning artist was suspended above the audience in a red floating car when it unexpectedly tilted, causing concern among fans.
As the car shifted, Beyoncé briefly slid in her seat, narrowly avoiding a fall. The 43-year-old artist remained composed and continued singing before calmly signalling to pause the show. Stage crew swiftly responded, safely lowering the car and assisting her back to the stage.
Once back on solid ground, Beyoncé exited briefly before returning to complete the performance. She addressed the incident with grace and humour, telling the audience, 'If I ever fall, I know y'all would catch me,' drawing applause and easing the tension.
The performance marked the first of two shows in her hometown, following a successful run through the UK and Europe.
Beyoncé's Houston return came just days after she concluded the European leg of her tour in France, where she attended the Louis Vuitton show and received a new handbag directly from Pharrell Williams.

Florence Pugh and Melissa McCarthy support canceled Tiny Chef Show as creators launch fundraising campaign
The creators of The Tiny Chef Show are receiving overwhelming support from fans and celebrities following Nickelodeon's decision to cancel the Emmy and Annie Award-winning series after three seasons. In a recent interview with Vulture, co-creators Ozi Akturk and Rachel Larsen shared insights into the show's unexpected cancellation and the response that followed. 'We didn't expect this kind of attention,' said Akturk, noting that the show's YouTube comment count surged from under 100 to over a thousand. 'People who didn't know Chef were coming from Twitter and BuzzFeed to see what's happening.' Larsen expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support, saying the show has connected with a new audience. 'We're getting people saying, 'I just found you, but I want to support you.' It's resonating,' she said. 'We want Chef to feel real. He's such a lovable, wholesome, funny little fella. The stop-motion is just a tool to give people permission to play along that he's real.' Among those showing support are actors Florence Pugh and Melissa McCarthy, both of whom publicly engaged with the show's content. Indie studio A24 also reached out to the creators. In response to the cancellation, the team quickly turned to creative storytelling to keep Chef's spirit alive. They produced a video imagining Tiny Chef receiving the cancellation call. The project took three weeks to complete, from scripting and recording to animation and editing. To sustain the character independently, the team launched a fundraising campaign that has brought in approximately $80,000 through one-time donations and fan-club memberships. As the creators continue exploring Chef's next chapter, they remain hopeful that this wave of support might pave a new way forward — not just for Tiny Chef, but for other shows in similar positions. 'We can make good stuff no matter what,' Larsen said. 'People should stay tuned and watch his journey.'

Colour and ease lift Paris Men's Fashion Week
PARIS: Colours ran wild and silhouettes softened at Paris Men's Fashion Week, which ends Sunday, as designers brought a rare breath of fresh air to a gloomy fashion climate. Despite the heavy news cycle and economic turbulence affecting the luxury sector, this Fashion Week was a 'shot of creativity that felt incredibly good', Alice Feillard, men's buying director at Galeries Lafayette, told AFP. The spring-summer 2026 season 'is much more creative than the previous ones, which were a bit duller', said Adrien Communier, the fashion editor at GQ France. Both experts observed a more relaxed vibe, with Feillard pointing to 'good humour' and 'optimism', while Communier noted a 'lighter mood'. 'With so many debuts, there was a sense of renewal. And so, I found that people were more curious,' he added. After a notable women's show in March, Julian Klausner made waves Thursday with his first menswear show for Dries Van Noten, while Jonathan Anderson's long-awaited debut at Dior drew applause on Friday. A renewed burst of creativity lit up the runways, most visibly through bold colour choices. Brown tones and pastels made way for a richer, more saturated palette for next summer. Saint Laurent opened the week with violet, navy, orange and moss green, while Pharrell Williams at Louis Vuitton channelled Indian motifs and hues. Dries Van Noten made a splash with bold fuchsia and blood red, while Kenzo exploded with candy pink, aquatic blue and chick yellow. 'Nonchalant elegance' Dior Homme took a more restrained approach, showcasing rich tones like a deep forest green on structured pieces. The tones sometimes appeared as prints – tiger at Kenzo, childlike safari at Louis Vuitton and floral at Dior. At Comme des Garcons Plus, prints leaned into pop-style 1970s geometry – a look also seen at Amiri, Saint Laurent and Junya Watanabe, who embraced flared trousers. Irish rappers Kneecap perform controversial Glastonbury set Stripes were ubiquitous but subtle, adding detail without overwhelming. Designers leaned into fluidity with flared trousers, long jackets, open shirts and an ongoing pyjama trend. 'There's a sort of nonchalant elegance in having a very fluid yet thoughtfully designed silhouette,' Communier said. Last season's neo-dandy look is now much more relaxed. 'Tailoring is still omnipresent in the collections, but it's becoming more fluid. There's still formality, but it's far more relaxed and remains very elegant,' said Feillard. Bags were omnipresent, from clutch to shoulder, styled for both casual outings and evening occasions. Finally, flip-flops made a major comeback, seen at Officine Generale, Auralee and even Hermes, 'worn in an almost formal way', said Communier. A perfect example of relaxed chic.
