Jay-Z kept things classic and cool beside her, sporting a white T-shirt under a sleek black leather jacket. He finished the look with plain black pants and a Western-inspired belt buckle, which was a subtle nod to his wife's current aesthetic. As Pharrell closed the show, he made his way over to the power couple for a warm embrace. In a standout moment, he gifted Beyoncé a handbag, presumed to be a fresh piece from the newly revealed collection. Their fashion week appearance followed a major performance earlier in the week, when Beyoncé brought her Cowboy Carter tour to the Stade de France in Paris. In a rare on-stage reunion, Jay-Z joined her for a performance of their timeless hit 'Crazy in Love.' Before the runway show, the Carters also visited the Fondation Louis Vuitton. Beyoncé opted for an all-white suit and white cowboy hat, while Jay-Z kept things relaxed in Cowboy Carter merch, effortlessly blending music and fashion all in one Parisian day.

WATCH: Legends were truly made at Legends Are Made season 3 finale
WATCH: Legends were truly made at Legends Are Made season 3 finale Excitement reached a crescendo as dancers from across South Africa lit up the stage at Woodlands International College for the Legends Are Made Season 3 finale, held on Saturday, June 22. The competition, which unfolded over four days, June 14, 15, 16, and 22, celebrated a rich tapestry of talent, featuring a wide variety of styles including Freestyle, Rock and Roll, Disco, Hip Hop, Slowdance, Acro, Lyrical, Jazz, Ballet, Amapiano, Belly Dancing, Showdance, Ballroom and Latin (International, American, and Pro-Am), Vocals, and more. With over 800 entries submitted last year, the event has once again confirmed its status as one of South Africa's top platforms for discovering and celebrating dance and music excellence. For co-founder Duerell de Pontes, the event's most powerful moments came from its spirit of unity. 'The most unforgettable memories were watching dancers from all over South Africa come together, sharing their joy and passion for dance and music,' he said. De Pontes said a standout performance came from the Magic Feet Foundation, a group of talented young dancers from disadvantaged communities. Their group formation piece, performed on Sunday, June 15, captivated the crowd. 'It was absolutely magical. The audience was in awe. We are so proud of these incredible dancers.' He admitted that hosting an event of this magnitude came with logistical challenges. Late entries, even on the day of the event meant the team had to reorganize the program multiple times. 'Despite the chaos, everything came together beautifully in the end,' De Pontes added. He said a defining feature of Legends Are Made is its celebration of dance in all its forms. From hip-hop to ballroom, and even a dedicated wheelchair dance division, the competition caters to every age, ability, and background. 'We welcome dancers from age three to seniors. The atmosphere each day was absolutely electric.' The event's driving force highlighted that this year also marked significant growth in the partnered ballroom and Latin-American categories. 'In previous years, we had many solo dancers due to a lack of partners. Thanks to a technical workshop and private sessions by French adjudicator Angelik Meyer, we've seen more partnerships form and skills improve dramatically.'

'The Legends Are Made brand continues to resonate. We chose to refine and amplify what already works, and it's paid off with increased participation.' The founder said with such a broad range of age groups, strategic scheduling played a crucial role. 'Younger dancers competed in the morning followed by prize-giving, while adults had their slots later in the Music tempo and genre were also tailored to suit different age groups.' The dance advocate said inclusion and accessibility remain central to the competition's mission. 'Supporting dancers from underprivileged backgrounds is essential,' De Pontes said. 'It's about creating equal opportunities, uplifting youth, and building a diverse and dynamic dance community.' Looking ahead, Legends Are Made aims to establish a dedicated foundation, expand outreach to schools and townships, offer professional development pathways, and host a nationally televised finale. The dream is to create a legacy that transforms lives through dance. Among this year's shining stars was Bloemfontein's Michè Erasmus from Dance Domination. 'I started dancing at two,. Hip-hop and amapiano let me express myself. Before I perform, I pray and leave it in God's hands.' Michè walked away with gold in showdance and silver in amapiano.

Tyla hosts and wins big at 2025 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards
South African global music star Tyla made her mark at the 2025 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards (KCAs), hosting the high-profile event at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica and taking home the award for Favourite Global Music Star, representing Africa. The awards show is known for its energetic atmosphere and green slime antics. Tyla opened the night with a lively Best of Summer dance celebration featuring the hottest tracks of the season, DJ'd by Benny Blanco and supported by an ensemble of dancers — including a surprise appearance by Smurfette. This was the 23 year-old singer and fashion icon's first time hosting a major international awards show. Speaking ahead of the event, she described it as a 'full circle moment', having auditioned for Nickelodeon as a child. 'It's crazy how things come around. I just hope I only get a little drizzle of slime,' she laughed. That wish didn't quite pan out — she ended the night soaked, along with fellow presenters Jack Griffo and pop group KATSEYE. Her win in the Favourite Global Music Star (Africa) category was announced midway through the show. Accepting the award, Tyla said: 'This means the world to me — to represent Africa on a global stage and be recognised by all of you amazing kids out there ... wow. Thank you for believing in me and dancing with me. Africa to the world!'
