Freddie Mercury's Alleged Child Revealed in New Biography
The post Freddie Mercury's Alleged Child Revealed in New Biography appeared first on Consequence.
A woman claiming to be Freddie Mercury's secret daughter has come forward for the first time in a new biography about the legendary Queen singer.
According to the upcoming book Love, Freddie by Lesley-Ann Jones, the child was conceived accidentally during an affair between Mercury and the wife of a close friend in 1976. Mercury remained involved in the child's life from the moment she was born until his death in 1991, though her existence was known only to members of his inner circle. The woman, who has chosen to identify herself as 'B,' is now 48 years old and works as a medical professional in Europe.
Upon learning of the pregnancy, Mercury reportedly began chronicling his life story in a series of diaries. In total, he wrote 17 volumes, which he delivered to 'B' before his passing. 'B' shared the contents of these diaries with Jones for Love, Freddie.
'He entrusted his collection of private notebooks to me, his only child and his next of kin, the written record of his private thoughts, memories and feelings about everything he had experienced,' 'B' said in an interview with The Daily Mail.
'After more than three decades of lies, speculation and distortion, it is time to let Freddie speak,' she added.
Jones said she first learned about 'B''s existence three years ago, and is 'absolutely sure she is not a fantasist.'
'No one could have faked all this. Why would she have worked with me for three and a half years, never demanding anything?'

Beyoncé Saves Her Most Star-Spangled Custom Look for...London?
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Sure, Beyoncé is in Europe from now until June 22, but her Americana aesthetic lives on. Instead of going the Union Flag route à la Ginger Spice, she took center stage in patriotic cowboy-core for her first Cowboy Carter show in London. She even brought one of her favorite American labels with her: Levi's. Halfway through the three-hour set at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Beyoncé debuted a new Levi's look during "Texas Hold 'Em," "Jolene," and other country-coded hits. The classic brand created the ambassador's entire ensemble in collaboration with her longtime stylist, Shiona Turini, starting with a monogrammed bodysuit. Covered in Swarovski crystal rhinestones from top-to-bottom, the short-sleeve one-piece featured the iconic Levi's logo across her chest. The double "i" paid homage to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter track "LEVII'S JEANS." It also matched T-shirts included in Beyoncé's limited-edition collaboration with Levi's, which launched in May. View Deal It wouldn't be a true Levi's creation without at least one denim design. The brand hand-stitched vintage jeans in different textures, washes, and styles together to build a patchwork cape. The elongated coat flowed behind her as she strutted down a catwalk. It matched her similar denim cowboy hat to a T. A few songs later, Beyoncé ditched the denim trench to reveal her cheeky chaps—another Levi's fashion. Just like her bodysuit, the star-spangled overalls were entirely embellished with Swarovski crystals in red, white, and blue. Both sides of her cowboy-coded chaps featured rhinestone fringe—a signature accent of her Cowboy Carter era. If you keep tabs on her couture costumes, you know Beyoncé's bottoms originally premiered during the tour's fifth and final show at New Jersey's Met Life Stadium. On May 29, she paired them with a New York Yankees varsity jacket and a sporty cowboy hat from Maurice Hats. However, they were made to be worn with head-to-toe Levi's. The label constructed the chaps out of the Ribcage Wide Leg Jeans—fan-favorite pants, which ring in at $98. For that price, you can rhinestone them yourself. View Deal To no surprise, Levi's also supplied Beyoncé's background dancers with custom co-ords. They sported the same fringed chaps, a denim crop top, and hot pants in a similar dark wash as the star's jeans. While this may be Levi's first design for the Cowboy Carter tour, thanks to the Beyhive's high praise, it certainly won't be the last. "You chose the right girl for this," said one fan, while another commented, "Beautiful!!! Y'all did that!!"

Sofia Richie Grainge's Archival Saint Laurent Gown Is the Richest Outfit in Monaco
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Sofia Richie Grainge has embarked on her first Euro summer since her 2023 wedding in the South of France. To no surprise, it's off to a stylish start. First, the new mom embraced French girl attire in a striped blouse and mesh Alaïa ballet flats for a stop in Paris with her husband, Elliot Grainge. Next, the power couple jetted off to Monaco, where Grainge's aesthetic took a sultry—and archival Saint Laurent—turn. On June 5, the model swapped neutrals for a vibrant vintage dress. With help from her new stylist, Thomas Christos, Grainge got her hands on an original design from Yves Saint Laurent Spring 1979. Despite being 46 years old, the floor-length piece looked good as new. As seen on the runway, the one-shoulder gown was black with red crescent-shaped moons. This pattern aligned with the collection's overarching "Celestial" theme. On the accessories front, Grainge sourced Saint Laurent's current catalog for a complementary purse. She carried her black-and-red bag as a clutch, but it can also be worn as a crossbody with a gold chain. Unlike her one-of-a-kind gown, the minaudière is still available to shop. To finish, Grainge frosted herself with minimal gold necklaces, bracelets, and stud earrings, as to not overshadow the divine dress. Always on board for a vintage find, Grainge gave the mature gown new life. It actually looked quite different on the catwalk. Contrary to Grainge's simple styling, the runway model layered it underneath a coordinating red, pink, and black trench coat. Then, the stylist added a statement necklace, plus a feathery headband—one of the collection's trademark motifs. Finally, the model paired black tights with strappy gold sandals. Today, the entire ensemble might feel '80s-inspired, but it was rather ahead of its time. This concoction of colors was years away from becoming the norm. While some celebrities keep their vacations private, it seems Grainge is taking us along for the ride. And while she's so far remained loyal to runway brands, we might see some preppy sweaters and Reebok sneakers soon. She loves a high-low moment almost as much as her expanding vintage archive.

Beyoncé Seasons Her White Pantsuit With a Dash of Turmeric, Fashion's Next Food-Inspired Color Trend
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. It's tough to steal attention away from the glitz and glam of Paris Fashion Week, but a Beyoncé sighting will do it every time. After the curtain closed on the European leg of her Cowboy Carter Tour, Beyoncé wasted no time getting back out in these streets. On day one of the PFW's Menswear Spring 2026 shows, the Grammy winner made a surprise appearance at the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris. Debuting her first off-stage 'fit of the month, Queen Bey chose an all-white pantsuit, presumably to view Pharrell Williams's June 24 fashion show from the front-row. Always on-board for a menswear moment, the pop star wore a double-breasted blazer and oversize trousers to match. Pointy white pumps peeked out from underneath her floor-grazing pants, in lieu of cowboy boots. Beyoncé's stark Stella McCartney suit acted as a blank canvas, allowing her turmeric clutch to take center stage. Summer's buzziest new food-flavored trend, turmeric evokes the same sunshine-y aura as its sibling butter yellow, but with a subtle '70s feel. It's unclear which designer is behind Beyoncé's jolt of color, but it's likely a custom creation from Louis Vuitton. View Deal View Deal No Beyoncé look would be complete without a 10-gallon cowboy hat, so the singer accessorized with a complementary ivory style. (Likely, the same Stetson hat she wore on-stage in London and Paris.) As a final note, she added mixed-metal hoop earrings made of geometric shapes. View Deal View Deal Beyoncé's saturated accessory cemented turmeric's stance as the underdog shade of the summer. Her look debuted just one week after Hunter Schafer was spotted carrying Prada's $4,500 Etude Buckle Leather Shoulder Bag in a strikingly similar hue. Months before that, Fall 2025 runways laid a foundation for the ugly-cute color. Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, and Prada all got in on the foodie-inspired fun, with various golden creations. With Beyoncé's stamp of approval, soon enough everyone will want a taste of the turmeric trend. View Deal View Deal View Deal View Deal View Deal View Deal View Deal
