EXCLUSIVE Beyonce makes sexy move of wearing skimpy lingerie on stage... but all is not what it seems
Beyonce wore some very alluring lingerie for her show in Houston, Texas in late June. The 43-year-old superstar was flashing the flesh in the red-and-blue bra and underwear set that made the most of her slender figure as she belted out her hit tunes on stage. The underthings were custom made by top lingerie brand Agent Provocateur just for her, has learned. She wore the set for the first of two sold-out nights in her hometown of Houston on June 28. It was the kick off for the second U.S. leg of her Cowboy Carter Tour. But all was not what it seems, has found out. Beyonce wore some very alluring lingerie for her show in Houston, Texas in late June. The 43-year-old superstar was flashing the flesh in the red-and-blue bra and underwear set that made the most of her slender figure as she belted out her hit tunes on stage The custom-made set was not a bra and underwear, but rather bra and underwear sewn onto a nude catsuit that was full of crystals. So while it looked like she was flashing the flesh, she was really not as she had a long-sleeved suit on. It was quite the savvy move as it ensured that Beyonce did not have a wardrobe malfunction. The look was inspired by the brand's iconic 'Skyranger' archive range from Agent Provocateur SS10, has learned. Designed by Sarah Shotton, the set impressed the crowd. The look also featured an 'Alien skin' effect, to give a full-body crystal illusion, which was brought to life using over 60,000 shimmering Swarovski Golden Shadow crystals. The Cowboy Carter Tour, officially titled Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour, is Beyonce's ongoing concert tour in support of her album Cowboy Carter. It's an all-stadium tour, featuring 32 stadium shows in the U.S. and Europe. The tour began on April 28, 2025, in Inglewood, California, and is scheduled to conclude on July 26, 2025, in Paradise, Nevada. It was quite the savvy move as it ensured that Beyonce did not have a wardrobe malfunction. The look was inspired by the brand's iconic 'Skyranger' archive range from Agent Provocateur SS10, has learned. Designed by Sarah Shotton, the set impressed the crowd The superstar dazzled in a stars-and-stripes bodysuit and a fur coat for her Cowboy Carter tour stop at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. For her first of two nights in the city, right outside of Washington, DC, she painted the stage red, white and blue with imagery of the American flag. The Grammy winner — who was last visiting France with Jay-Z and their 13-year-old daughter Blue Ivy during Paris Fashion Week — had her backup dancers and her stage as well as the crowded stadium matching in the same colors for the national holiday. After her performance, she took to Instagram to share photos of her stunning Independence Day look. In several snaps sans caption, she posed with a bedazzled bottle of Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades champagne, which is owned by her music mogul husband and LVMH. For most of her show, she rocked a sheer, blue bodysuit with long-sleeves and a bullet bra-inspired silhouette with silver stars on the bust. In addition to her sequined, blue bodysuit covered in stars, she also sported silver, over-the-knee boots with fringe paired with a matching rhinestoned cowboy hat. At one point, the Texas native also shed the fur coat and strutted along the stage in her on-theme, holiday outfit. She styled her long, luscious blonde hair in a bouncy blowout with voluminous curls framing her face. She smoldered in a sultry, dark brown makeup look featuring a smoky eye and a matte, nude lip. Beyoncé's latest Fourth of July performance comes shortly after she concluded her epic six-night concern run in London and her fabulous shows in Paris. She closed out the European leg of her Cowboy Carter tour and brought out her husband to perform their hit single Crazy In Love in Paris as the couple took the stage together for the first time in seven years. Her concert in France was a family affair as she was also joined by their daughter Blue Ivy on stage and also had her mom Tina Knowles supporting them. After performing in cities around Europe, Beyonce performed in her hometown of Houston, Texas last week and experienced a horrifying moment when she suffered a stage mishap with a mid-air prop. At one point during her show on June 29, the red convertible she rides high above the crowd during her performance of 16 Carriages tilted dangerously, threatening to throw the Cowboy Carter artist off the car and into the audience. Still, Beyoncé returned to the main stage and finished the performance like the consummate professional she is. After the show, Beyoncé's team released a statement addressing the incident. 'Tonight in Houston, at NRG Stadium, a technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyonce uses to circle the stadium, and see her fans up close, to tilt. 'She was quickly lowered and no one was injured. The show continued without incident,' Parkwood Entertainment said. Despite the terrifying stakes, Beyonce appeared calm while in the car. It's unclear what exactly occurred but according to various social media accounts, her car began to tilt in the air. According to the Houston Chronicle, her car had stopped moving midair. has contacted representatives for Beyonce for comment but did not immediately hear back. According to Hot New Hip Hop, Beyonce left the stage floor briefly after her car was properly lowered to the ground before coming back to wrap up the performance. The songstress, now safely on stage, then resumed performing her song and thanked her fans with a heartfelt message.

Jenna Bush Hager fights back tears as she reveals close connection to Texas summer camp devastated by flooding
Jenna Bush Hager revealed that her mother used to work as a drama counsellor at Camp Mystic, the Texas summer camp that took the brunt of the devastating flooding over the weekend. The presenter, 43, appeared visibly upset on Monday's episode of the Today show where she praised the resilience of Texans amid the tragedy, which has so far claimed at least 82 lives. At the time of writing, 41 people remain missing amid the devastation along the Guadalupe River, outside of San Antonio. Ten girls and a counselor are still unaccounted for at Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp along the river where 27 people died in the raging floods. Speaking on the program, Jenna revealed how her mother, Laura Bush, worked at Camp Mystic. 'My mom was a counselor there,' she said. 'But so many of my friends were raised at this camp. Texas camps are institutions, as you just heard where many family members, generations… 'This camp was 100 years old. So, grandmothers, mothers, kids have all gone there.' 'My mom was a drama counselor there. But many of my friends were there, had their kids there last week. 'And the stories that I heard over the last couple days were beautiful and heartbreaking and Texas has a type of resilience where they're generous people and want to reach out and help.' Her voice breaking, Jenna continued: 'Texas camps are really special because you're thinking about 90-degree weather, no air conditioning.' Jenna went on to add that she and her husband, Henry Hager, sent their children to the camp in the past 'because of the love that's there.' She shares daughters Mila (born 2013) and Poppy (born 2015), and son Hal (born 2019) with Henry. Survivors have described the floods as a 'pitch black wall of death' and said they received no emergency warnings. Officials have come under scrutiny as to why residents and youth summer camps along the river were not alerted sooner about the severe weather or told to evacuate. The National Weather Service has extended a flash flood watch for the Texas Hill Country, where an additional one to three inches of rain is expected to fall today, until 7pm local time (6pm EST). The Texas Hill Country in the central part of the state is naturally prone to flash flooding. Friday's flash floods started with a particularly bad storm that dropped most of its 12 inches of rain in the dark, early morning hours. The National Weather Service said in an advisory that heavy rains of up to three inches and thunderstorms could cause more flooding across the Texas Hill country today. Some area could see rain that exceeds five inches which will 'quickly lead to flooding', the National Weather Service has warned. Rain has already begun to fall near Williamson County this morning and is expected to increase throughout the day. The heaviest storms are currently near Killeen, a city in Bell County, where a flash flood warning is currently in effect. Austin, San Antonio and the surrounding areas are among the areas predicted to be impacted by today's storm, according to the latest NWS forecast. Officials warn the risk of heavy rainfall remains across the region. Meteorologist note it it is hard to pinpoint exactly where storms will break out, but warn the 'rainfall rates will be very intense in the heaviest showers and storms'. The slow-moving storms could cause more flash flooding and renewed river flooding in the coming hours, especially in the regions that were hardest hit by torrential rainfall over the weekend. 'Any additional heavy rainfall over hardest hit areas of the past few days will lead to rapid runoff and flash flooding,' the NWS added. Floods are most likely to occur in areas that are currently under a flood watch - which is in effect until 7pm today for communities along the I-35 corridor, the Hill Country and the Edwards Plateau.
