Jay-Z & Beyoncé Bless The Stage Together, Hov Sends Shots At Kanye
Kevin Mazur
Beyoncé fans at Paris' Stade de France got more than they bargained for during the final night of her three-date Cowboy Carter Tour stop, a surprise appearance by none other than Jay-Z.
The June 22nd show marked the first time The Carters shared the stage in concert since 2018's Global Citizen Festival, Mandela 100 in Johannesburg. The crowd went crazy when Hov joined his wife for their 2003 hit 'Crazy in Love,' which originally topped the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks and remains a cornerstone of Beyoncé's setlist.
While the song is a tour staple, Jay-Z's verse has been notably absent until now. In the City of Love, fans witnessed a rare live reunion of the duo on one of their signature tracks. The surprises didn't stop there. Jay-Z stuck around for a sultry rendition of 'Drunk in Love,' uniquely remixed with elements of 'Partition,' making it the first and only time that medley has appeared on the Cowboy Carter Tour
The show reached a fever pitch when Jay launched into his solo hit 'N*ggas in Paris,' electrifying the stadium. The track, originally recorded with Ye for their 2011 ' Watch the Throne ' album, felt especially fitting for the occasion. While Jay was performing, he seemed to take a little jab at Mr. West. The 2011 song is a big hit from his album Watch the Throne with West, and usually includes the line, 'Just might let you meet Ye.' The Roc Nation mogul changed the lyrics and said, 'Just might let you meet Bey,' talking about his wife of 17 years, and left out West's name.
The reunion not only celebrated the couple's shared musical legacy, but also reignited excitement about their collaborative potential. For the City of Love, this wasn't just a concert, it was a moment, one that fans had waited more than six years to witness live again.

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!!"

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

Beyoncé's Loewe 'Cowboy Carter' Bandana Dress Is a Sparkly Homage to Her Destiny's Child Fashion Era
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Sure, Cowboy Carter is Beyoncé's first explicitly country album. But as a Houston native, Western culture is deeply engrained in her music, and most notably, her style. Beyoncé and cowgirl style go way back. During her Destiny's Child days, the singer regularly took center-stage in full Western garb. For example: On July 9, 2000, the girl group performed their greatest hits at London's Hyde Park. The dress code? Red bandana tops and low-rise jeans. The look was likely designed by her mother, Tina Knowles, who created all of her daughter's Destiny's Child costumes at the time. Her waistline was distressed—a signature early aughts accent—while each pocket of her jeans displayed retro embroidery. Fast-forward 25 years to June 21, 2025—opening night of the Cowboy Carter tour's Paris leg. While performing the chart-topping hit, "Texas Hold 'Em," Beyoncé channeled her younger self in yet another red bandana look. She wore head-to-toe Loewe, looking straight out of '00s. The pop star sported an asymmetrical, bandana print dress that was covered in thousands of Swarovski crystals. (A round of applause for her stylist, Shiona Turini.) Just like her Destiny's Child look, she paired the paisley number with jeans. Instead of low-rise skinnies, however, Loewe created denim hot pants, which peeked out from underneath her skirt. She then added a dash of pop star energy, with a pair of dazzling rhinestone cowboy boots (one of her performance favorites). Even her crimped blonde hair paid homage to the 2000s. A few feet behind Beyoncé, Blue Ivy stood out as the spitting image of her mom. The 13-year-old nailed the country-coded choreography and also wore Loewe. She was outfitted in a high-low paisley top, plus distressed light-wash jeans—a direct homage to Beyoncé's own paisley moment. To finish, Blue Ivy popped on a red cowboy hat and complementary boots, before tucking a matching handkerchief into her pocket. Let this look stand as a reminder to any naysayers: Beyoncé has always been country. View Deal $270 at NDG Paris View Deal View Deal $45 at Poppy Lissiman View Deal View Deal View Deal
