Beyonce Goes Full Denim in Latest Levi's Campaign Images With Amina Muaddi Platform Heels
In the new photographs, Beyonce goes full-on Canadian tuxedo. She wears a sleeveless denim vest with a pair of jeans. Over her shoulder is slung a leather jacket. The tagline of the campaign is 'Fit for an icon.'
For shoes, Beyonce and stylist Shiona Turini turned to Amina Muaddi, one of Bey's favorite footwear brands as of late. In particular, she wore a custom Yigit cut out pump in a dark blue denim.
The Yigit pump is a high-heeled style from Muaddi. It features a sharply pointed toe — which is emphasized by the thick platform — as well as a sizable stiletto. It also includes an ankle strap for security. The stiletto measures almost six inches high. The cut out version is a d'orsay style heel meaning that the upper is separated into a front and back with the middle cutout, exposing most of the foot. This is available in black patent for $1,370. The classic black satin version, which features no cu tout, can be purchased on the brand's site for $1,335.
The singer has worn the Yigit before: she wore them to the 2024 Grammy Awards in black satin. Then she reached for them again to film a teaser video teaser for her Christmas Day Beyonce Bowl appearance. She even sported a pair of chrome Yigit pumps to a Roc Nation pre-Grammy brunch in 2024. When she launched Cécred a year ago, she wore a pair of white patent leather Angelica pumps from the brand which are similar to the Yigit.
This all comes within a greater wearing of platform style shoes by Beyonce. She sported the cult-favorite Marc Jacobs Kiki boot in the poster for her Beyonce Bowl and when she accepted her Album of the Year prize at the Grammy Awards this year, she was wearing a pair of platform stilettos from Schiaparelli.
For her first set of Levi's images, the star sported boots. In particular, she wore the Christian Louboutin Santiabooty boots. They were paired white blue jeans and a t-shirt to recreate a 1985 'Launderette' ad.

Acclaimed conductor Roger Norrington dead at age 91
Roger Norrington, a conductor acclaimed for historically informed performances during more than a half-century leading orchestras in Europe and the United States, has died. He was 91. Norrington died Friday at his home, his son Tom said Saturday. Norrington lived outside Exeter, England. Norrington conducted both period-instruments and modern orchestras, asking both types to play without vibrato and usually at faster tempi than modern practice. 'He was an extraordinary dramatist. He made things happen emotionally,' Myron Lutzke, an Orchestra of St. Luke's cellist who helped persuade Norrington to become music director, said Saturday. 'He had his detractors, certainly, and some of them were some of my best friends. But for me, he got the music off the page. He made the concert experience transformative.' Born on March 16, 1934, Norrington was the son of Arthur, president of Trinity College, Oxford, and the former Edith Carver. A violinist and boy soprano in his youth, Roger attended The Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, Dragon School, Westminster School, Cambridge and the Royal College of Music, where he studied under conductor Adrian Boult. In 1962, Norrington founded the Schütz Choir, originally dedicated to the works of Heinrich Schütz. He became music director of Kent Opera from 1969-84, the Bournemouth Sinfonietta from 1985-89 and New York's Orchestra of St. Luke's from 1990-94. He was principal conductor of Camerata Salzburg from 1997 to 2006, the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra from 1998 to 2011 and the Zurich Chamber Orchestra from 2011-16. 'Orchestras didn't generally use vibrato until the 1930s,' Norrington told The Guardian in 2007. 'It is a fashion, like smoking, which came in at about the same time. Smoking is now going, so maybe vibrato will too. ... I have discovered, all the way from Monteverdi to Mahler, is that when music is played as it should be, the sound is wonderful, the expression is wonderful and the instruments match together.' Norrington was nominated for four Grammy Awards and won in 2001 for a recording of Nicholas Maw's Violin Concerto with Joshua Bell and the London Philharmonic. Norrington retired after conducting the Royal Northern Sinfonia in an all-Hadyn concert on Nov. 18, 2021. 'I have enjoyed every minute of over 50 years of making music with some of the most wonderful and talented musicians in the world," he said in a statement. 'The time has come to step off the podium.' His first marriage, to Susan McLean May, ended in a divorce in 1982. He married the choreographer Kay Lawrence in the mid-1980s; she died last year. Norrington was made a Knight Bachelor in 1997.

Fans Are Saying Flying Props "Should Be Banned" After Katy Perry's Terrifying Mid-Air Malfunction
Last (Friday) night, Katy Perry experienced a mid-performance malfunction that gave her fans quite the scare. Related: During the San Francisco stop of "The Lifetimes Tour", Katy performed her 2013 hit "Roar" at the Chase Center when the giant mechanical butterfly she was riding jerked and fell in front of the sold-out arena. In a fan-captured video, Katy was suspended high above the crowd as the butterfly jolts, causing the audience to gasp. Security and the tech crew rushed backstage as the "Firework" singer held on tightly to the prop as it descended. Despite the scary moment, Katy didn't miss a beat. She suffered no injuries and continued singing "Roar" to the crowd's applause. However, it still gave her fans quite a scare. Katy suffered a similar mid-air malfunction last month in Australia. She began to tilt while riding a flying contraption, as she held on to the wires. Related: It's been a summer of flying concert mishaps, as Beyoncé suffered a prop malfunction during her Houston stop for the Cowboy Carter tour when her flying car was visibly leaning midair. That said, concerned fans are questioning whether the stunts are worth it. "yea it's time for these artist to get out the air…," one fan wrote. Related: Another person said, "From Bey to Katy… let's keep our boots on the ground." "these artists gotta stop fr .. about to risk your lives omg. safety first!" someone else person wrote. Another X user said, "These flying stage props need to be banned because there's way too many people at risk from these malfunctioning.." Related: This person made a valid point, writing, "omgggg so happy she's safe this is so terrifying!! .. oh the amount of dangerous stunts pop girlies have to do in order to entertain us meanwhile male artist get on stage with a hoodie and call it a day." "Whatever happened to artist just with just a mic and a stage? Let's get back to simpler times. Get your behinds out the air." Katy has since shared a photo on her Instagram Stories, seemingly addressing the incident, writing," Good Night San Fran." With her full-scale world tour set to continue, let's hope this doesn't happen again. Also in Celebrity: Also in Celebrity: Also in Celebrity:
