Cardi-B put on a busty display in a bold cowboy outfit as she headed to Beyonce's concert in Paris on Sunday.
The Please Me singer, 32, turned heads as she stepped out in a fur corset which featured structure hip pads, a belt and long leather tassels.
She layered her unique country-inspired garment under a matching ankle-length trench coat.
In keeping with her cowboy theme, Cardi-B added inches to her surgically-enhanced frame as she slipped into a pair of matching towering platform heels.
To accessorise, the songstress added a pop of colour with huge teal statement necklace.
Finishing her cowboy themed ensemble, Cardi-B wore a matching fur hat and a long pale blue wig.
Beyonce is currently in Paris performing after she concluded her epic six-night concert run in London on Monday night, breaking her own huge record at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The 43-year-old singer's groundbreaking series of concerts welcomed over 275,000 fans and grossed over £45million (over $61million USD), making it the most tickets and highest gross for any artist in the stadium's history.
Beyoncé also now holds the all-time record at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the most concerts performed by any artist.
Her Cowboy Carter Tour shows - held June 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, and 16 - surpassed the benchmark she previously set with five sold-out nights during her Renaissance World Tour in 2023.
This broke her own all-time record for most performances by any artist at the venue.
At the venue she also broke the record for the most ticket sales for any artist - with over 275,000 tickets sold.
It is also the highest grossing concerts for any artist (over £45million) at Tottenham.
The news comes after Beyoncé reportedly 'bowed down' to Mariah Carey and 'packed up her £25k-a-night London penthouse for the diva songstress to move in.'
The singer's groundbreaking series of concerts welcomed over 275,000 fans and grossed over £45M, making it the most tickets and highest gross for any artist in the stadium's history
The If I Were A Boy hitmaker had booked a 12-night stay at the Corinthia while performing at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
But she allegedly moved out at the weekend when self-confessed diva Mariah, 56, touched down to play at Capital's Summertime Ball on Sunday.
A source told The Sun: 'Superstars as big as Beyonce and Mariah want to stay in only the best hotels.
'Beyonce had been staying in Corinthia's penthouses.
'But when Mariah flew in, Beyonce packed up so Mariah could take over her suites. It was like Beyonce was bowing down to another music queen.'

Revealed: The true cost of watching the BBC

The cost of watching the BBC has shot up by three-quarters in the last decade, Telegraph analysis has found. Licence fee income in England rose to just over £3.2bn over the 2024/25 financial year, thanks to an increase in the standard rate to £169.50 per household. It has since been raised further to £174.50. While this also funds the BBC's radio output and online journalism, the majority of total spending nationwide was on television production, to the tune of just under £1.4bn – up 12.4 per cent on 2023/24. Dividing this total by the 30-million-odd consistent weekly viewers aged over 16 in the country, and again by the time these people spend in front of the television or iPlayer, the cost works out to 14p per hour. Wind the clock back to the year of the Brexit vote – when the corporation's reach was up at 82 per cent – and the comparable figure was just 8p. That equates to a 73 per cent increase in nine years. Even when adjusting television spending for inflation, the change remains a significant 29 per cent. A record low of 63 per cent of adults in England regularly tuned in to BBC television channels over the past year, translating to an estimated loss of some 6.5 million viewers over the past nine years. The average time spent watching its programming in a given week also plummeted from just over eight and a half hours to below six and a half. The dismal audience figures come from the same annual report that this week revealed the bumper pay rises handed out to the public broadcaster's leading talent, with Laura Kuenssberg and Nick Robinson pocketing an extra £70,000 and £65,000 in 2024/25, respectively. The dwindling reach comes amid a storm of controversy for the corporation. On Monday, the internal review into Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone – which featured a young narrator who was the son of a Hamas official – concluded that it had breached the BBC's editorial guidelines. Tim Davie, the BBC director-general, said the report had identified a ' significant failing in relation to accuracy '. MasterChef, the broadcaster's flagship cooking competition programme, has also lost both of its lead presenters over the past fortnight. Gregg Wallace has been banned from the BBC after claims of inappropriate behaviour, while John Torode's time with the show has ended following an allegation that he used an ' extremely offensive racist term '. The spotlight has also been trained on the salaries of the BBC's stars. The broadcaster's disclosure of the pay bands for the 67 presenters and journalists earning over £178,000 during the year was once again topped by Gary Lineker. His £1,350,000 to £1,354,999 earnings alone are equivalent to one per cent of television spending in England. You can use our calculator below to see how much value-for-money you are getting from the taxpayer-funded media giant based on your viewing and listening habits – and how the licence fee might change if just these areas were accounted for. Meanwhile, more people than ever are turning elsewhere for their news and entertainment. Barb, the industry's ratings and audience measurement organisation, found that 67.5 per cent of UK homes had access to at least one subscription service in the first three months of 2025. A BBC spokesman said: 'These figures are misleading. Our audited figures show that the average cost of each hour of BBC content consumed by audiences across the UK has risen in line with inflation since the start of the current charter. 'Our audiences are at the heart of everything we do, so we are prioritising high-impact content to deliver maximum value for licence fee payers. 'Digital consumption of BBC content has significantly increased this year, with nearly 10 per cent more requests on BBC iPlayer and total time viewing the platform rising to 4.5 billion hours.'

Palestine Action activist wore £6,000 gown to debutante ball

The Crillon Ball is described by Tatler as the 'world's most glamorous debutante ball'. Georgie Robertson came out to society in a £6,000 gown, alongside Princess Diana's niece Lady Kitty Spencer, and boasted afterwards of a 'fairytale event in which the aristocracy rub sequinned shoulder pads with the celebritocracy'. Fast forward to 2025 and the 32-year-old daughter of Kathy Lette, the author, and Geoffrey Robertson KC, the human rights lawyer, has swapped pearls for protest. The former Labour press officer under Jeremy Corbyn was helping Palestine Action with its press coverage as it fought being proscribed by the government in court. Her spell volunteering for the pro-Palestinian protest group is the latest twist in a life that her mother joked went 'from one extreme to the other, from Marxism to Marie Antoinette'. In an article written after the Crillon Ball in 2009, Robertson said the weekend in Paris was 'an endless flurry of hot hair rollers, make-up, trying on diamonds, couture fittings and fashion shoots' — which included posing for Tatler. She recounted having 'shared giggles and gossip' with Clint Eastwood's daughter, an Indian princess, Lady Kitty Spencer and Angelica Hicks, the great-granddaughter of Lord Mountbatten. Other society outings included the Elle Style Awards and the UK premiere of Blue Jasmine, starring Cate Blanchett, in 2013. Robertson was schooled at the private Queen's College in central London. She stood for election as women's officer for the London Young Labour committee, pledging to 'work with grassroots women's campaigns to collectively organise against patriarchy and all other forms of oppression'. She went on to work in Corbyn's office when he was leader of the opposition, before being elected as a Labour councillor in Camden, north London. After Sir Keir Starmer became leader, the Labour Party pursued Robertson and several other Corbyn-era staff with legal action, accusing them of leaking a report about antisemitism in the party to the press. The case was dropped in 2024. Social media shows Robertson continues to mix with celebrities such as Tim Minchin, the comic and composer, and Kylie Minogue. She also attended the Cannes film festival. Please enable cookies and other technologies to view this content. You can update your cookies preferences any time using privacy manager. Weeks later, during a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice as Palestine Action fought its proscription, she posted a photo on Instagram showing Mr Justice Chamberlain being addressed by a barrister acting for the group, with the caption: 'Nearly 9 hours so far, waiting with baited breath.' It is a criminal offence to take photographs inside a courtroom. Less than 24 hours later, she continued to brief journalists on the activities of Defend Our Juries, a left-wing pressure group that has launched a campaign of civil disobedience against Palestine Action's proscription, calling it an 'Orwellian nightmare'. The campaign has led to the arrest of dozens of protesters for holding signs that read 'I support Palestine Action'. An escalating series of protests is being supported by Palestine Action's founder Huda Ammori, who told 1,000 supporters that organised civil disobedience 'will make the ban unenforceable'. Defend Our Juries was set up by Tim Crosland, a former government lawyer who was debarred for leaking court documents. • Police defend arrest of 83-year-old Palestine Action activist Over the last two Saturdays, police have made over 100 arrests under terror laws after the group co-ordinated sit-in protests around the country. Dozens more are expected on Saturday in Parliament Square in London, Bristol, Edinburgh, Manchester and Truro in Cornwall. The protesters, who held signs that read 'I support Palestine Action', risked prison as the direct action group was banned under the Terrorism Act from July 5. Crosland said he hoped the protests will 'expose the absurdity' of the proscription. In a briefing for activists taking part in the protests last week, Crosland said the ban 'is like something out of George Orwell, it's a mad insult to the intelligence of us all'. He added: 'As long as we turn up in numbers we expose this.' Crosland set up Defend Our Juries to protest the treatment of environmental activists in trials and to push jurors to acquit defendants according to their conscience. He was called to the bar in 1994 and worked as a criminal defence barrister, which included representing death row inmates on appeal in New Orleans. He became deputy director of the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) and head of cyber and information law at the National Crime Agency, which replaced it. He was then head of legal at the National Criminal Intelligence Service. He later became director of Plan B, an environmental campaign group. In 2020, Crosland was found guilty of contempt of court and fined £5,000 for leaking an embargoed Supreme Court ruling about the third Heathrow runway on Twitter. Before his contempt hearing, Crosland said: 'If fighting for my children's lives makes me a criminal, then so be it.' The judges ruled there is 'no such thing as a justifiable contempt of court'. In 2023, Crosland was disbarred by an independent disciplinary tribunal, following charges of professional misconduct brought by the Bar Standards Board. The group claims protesters who are on remand or in prison for causing a public nuisance or criminal damage are 'political prisoners' and has previously counted Chris Packham and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall among its supporters.

A notable protest was held outside the appeal at the High Court in London in January of 16 Just Stop Oil activists who had shut down the M25. About 1,000 Defend Our Juries activists blocked the street. An open letter co-ordinated by the group was signed by the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, as well as Sandi Toksvig, the television presenter, and Danny Boyle, the director. The group was also critical when courts barred defendants from making political arguments in their defence, claiming this kept 'the truth' from jurors. When climate protests folded under the weight of new police powers and tough sentencing, Defend Our Juries turned its attention towards Gaza. Defend Our Juries was associatied with Palestine Action before its ban, having signed a 'statement of solidarity' in November last year.

The protests over the last two weekends have been organised on the encrypted messaging apps Signal and Telegram, with online briefings given to hundreds of potential participants on Zoom. Each person is directed towards carefully prepared briefing notes online, and handed signs and so-called 'bust cards' with solicitors' details in case of arrest. Those involved in the protests include activists who were repeatedly arrested in the Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil campaigns.

Simon Cowell set to launch ANOTHER new TV talent contest amid ‘huge excitement' around his Netflix boyband search show

SIMON Cowell is lining up another TV talent contest — this time about the search for the next Little Mix. It comes as the record producer, who helped the girl group find success on the X Factor in 2011, is about to wrap filming on his hunt for a hit boyband. 1 Simon Cowell: The Next Act, which will stream on Netflix, follows the music mogul, 65, as he goes on a quest to find the next One Direction. And he is planning a sequel where he does the same for budding female pop stars A TV insider said: 'There's huge amount of excitement around the boyband search show dropping on Netflix, which is expected to drop later this year. 'So it makes sense to consider a sequel with a similar concept but looking for the female equivalent. 'And if anyone can do it, it's Simon. After all, through One Direction and Little Mix, he helped deliver two of the biggest pop acts of the last two decades.' The Next Act was this week confirmed by Netflix as part of its slate of big programmes coming over the next 12 months. The follow-up has not been commissioned yet — and Netflix is unlikely to seal the deal on a second series before the first had aired. But Simon was so confident in his boyband search concept that he set out on it before it was confirmed that Netflix would pick it up. Filming started last year, with US production company Box to Box following Simon as he auditioned youngsters across the UK and Ireland.
