The ensemble included a statement oriental pattern cascading down both pieces with shimmering elements. Knowles' attire married ornate embroidery with a sheer nude mesh lining that broke the pattern, creating a high-contrast effect.
The trousers of Knowles' look were crafted with a high waist, a mesh-faced waistband for comfort and a scalloped hem along the bottom. Finished with a mesh-bound zipper and seams for comfort, and a flair from the knee down.
The coordinated blazer included such distinct elements as satin-covered shoulder pads with bound edges, a collar with satin edges and a scalloped hem along the bottom of the bodice, and the sleeves.
Prior to Knowles' New Orleans appearance, the 'Matriarch' author attended an event with former First Lady Michelle Obama to launch her nine-city book tour in National Harbor, Md., on April 30. Obama, clad in a design from McQueen's spring 2025 collection, joined Knowles onstage for the event.
Knowles' book tour, organized by Live Nation, features in nine cities and concludes in London on June 4. Knowles was joined by such high-profile figures as Katie Holmes and Lorraine Schwartz on April 22 for her book's launch event in New York City. She wore a dress from Stella McCartney's spring 2025 collection.

Rihanna's Pregnancy Era Has Entered Its Softest Phase Yet — Thanks to a Very Hands-On A$AP Rocky
Rihanna is glowing — and no, it's not just the baby bump. As she prepares to welcome her third child with A$AP Rocky, the Fenty founder and Smurfs star is getting a whole lot of love, support, and late-night snack deliveries from her partner of five years. According to People, the couple is 'thrilled' to be growing their family again, and sources close to the pair say this pregnancy feels different — softer, slower, and somehow even more full of love. 'He's completely tuned into her needs,' the insider shared of Rocky, who's been 'incredibly attentive and nurturing' as Rihanna rests and gets ready for baby no. 3. More from SheKnows Rihanna's Baby Bump Is on Full Display at the Met Gala After Revealing Her 3rd Pregnancy While some dads might think diaper duty earns them a gold star, Rocky's in full-service mode. He's reportedly handling bedtime routines, entertaining sons RZA, 3, and Riot Rose, almost 2, and running baths for Rihanna at the end of the day. Yes, baths. With foot rubs. And snacks. 'He always makes her laugh,' the source added. 'He keeps things light and full of love.' The couple revealed the pregnancy just ahead of the 2025 Met Gala — in true Rihanna fashion, by casually stepping out of The Carlyle in a powder-blue two-piece with her bump on full display. It marked her third major pregnancy reveal in as many years, following her viral 2023 Super Bowl moment and her first pregnancy announcement in 2022, when she wore a $29K outfit in a paparazzi photo, per Us Weekly. Still, this time seems more intimate. Back in December, Rihanna joked that the only thing she hadn't achieved yet was having a daughter. 'I'm batting at 75 percent for a boy next time,' she told E! News. 'So, we'll just keep our fingers crossed.' And in April, she doubled down: 'I would try for my girl,' she told Interview. 'But of course, if it's another boy, it's another boy.' Either way, Rocky's right there next to her. Even if he doesn't help dress the kids — 'That's their mother by herself,' he admitted last year — he still plays muse. 'Sometimes she dresses them like me… kilts and all of that,' he said. Now, with a third baby on the way and a nightly foot rub seemingly locked in, it's safe to say this might be Rihanna's coziest pregnancy of SheKnows AP Scores Just Came Out — Here's What to Do If Your Teen's Upset About Theirs Celebrate Freedom With These Perfectly-Patriotic Americana Baby Names July 4th Printable Coloring Pages to Keep Kids Busy All Day Solve the daily Crossword

Why Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Will Probably Never Make Their Red Carpet Debut
We got a touch pill to swallow, Swifties: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce may never make their red carpet debut. We thought they would for numerous red carpet events, the Met Gala, you name it. But after two years together, they missed another opportunity to make their red carpet debut together. This week, the Happy Gilmore 2 premiere was in full swing, but neither Kelce, who acted in it, and Swift arrived. Kelce had to go to training camp for the Kansas City Chiefs instead of the premiere, and without Kelce, Swift didn't go either, per InStyle. More from SheKnows Taylor Swift & Blake Lively's Tension May Be Behind This Party Snub No, here's why we think they'll never make a red carpet debut: Swift has never made a red carpet debut with a boyfriend. She walks solo on the carpet, but still goes to events with boyfriends (like when she and ex Calvin Harris sat together at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards). So, Swifties, we're sorry to say, it seems like Swift and Kelce will be one of the A-list couples that never make a red carpet debut. For those who don't know, Kelce and Swift have been dating since July 2023, but didn't make their romance known until months later, when Swift arrived at one of his games. (Kelce even talked about his crush on her on his podcast with his brother months prior to her going to one of his games.) Back in Jan 2024, Kelce spoke on the Pat McAfee Show via Today about Swift, saying, 'We just have fun with it. We enjoy every single bit of it. I love it when Taylor comes and supports me and enjoys the game with the fam and friends. But it's been nothing but just a wonderful year.'Best of SheKnows 16 Times the Celebrity Death Rule of Threes Actually Happened The Best Photos of Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne's Kids Growing Up Over the Years Everything We Know About Carolyn Bessette's Life Before JFK JR Solve the daily Crossword

Billie Eilish Could Rebound After Leaving The 2025 Grammys Empty-Handed
Following losses at the 2025 Grammys, Billie Eilish's 'Wildflower' could bring her back to the Best ... More Pop Solo Performance category in 2026. LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 10: Billie Eilish performs on stage at The O2 Arena on July 10, 2025 in London, England. (Photo byfor Live Nation) At just 23 years old, Billie Eilish is already one of the most decorated pop singers of all time when it comes to the Grammys. The singer-songwriter has scored nine trophies out of 32 nominations – an amazing sum with just three albums to her credit. While she's not in need of any additional gold, Eilish is always a contender whenever she has any music eligible for music's biggest night. Despite her decorated history, Eilish lost every category she was nominated in at the 2025 ceremony, including some of the biggest fields. She has a chance to return at the upcoming show, and she could collect a milestone tenth award if her latest single can earn a nomination. Two Billie Eilish Singles are Grammy-Eligible Eilish's most recent album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, which she's been promoting since last spring, is ineligible at the upcoming Grammys. The full-length and several tracks featured on it were up for awards at the most recent show, which means they aren't going to be in the running in a few months when nominations are handed down. Two singles featured on Hit Me Hard and Soft should be eligible in 2026, as Eilish pushed both 'Chihiro' and 'Wildflower' as promotional cuts from the project. The current eligibility period began in September 2024, and since then, both were sent out as singles, so the two tracks have a chance at being submitted. Between the pair, 'Wildflower' is the likely contender, as it's the one that performed best at radio in the United States. While 'Chihiro' climbed slightly higher on the Hot 100, 'Wildflower' has already been certified double platinum by the RIAA, while 'Chihiro' has moved one million units and earned a platinum certification. Can Billie Eilish Finally Win Best Pop Solo Performance? Eilish could be headed for her sixth nomination in the Best Pop Solo Performance category with 'Wildflower.' She's previously been nominated for 'Bad Guy,' 'Everything I Wanted,' 'Happier Than Ever,' 'What Was I Made For,' and, last time around, 'Birds of a Feather,' also from Hit Me Hard and Soft. Somewhat shockingly, and despite being one of the biggest names in pop music of the past half-decade or so, she's never won in this field. 'Wildflower' is also a possible contender for both Record and Song of the Year in what may be a sleepy year at the Grammys, though its relatively low peak position doesn't suggest it's a frontrunner for a slot. A Grammys Rebound While Eilish has never professed to be awards-obsessed, she may be looking to rebound after batting zero at the 2025 ceremony. Hit Me Hard and Soft was up for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, while 'Birds of a Feather' was in the running for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance. She didn't claim any new honors at that show, but 'What Was I Made For' did earn Song of the Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media at the prior ceremony, so it's not as if it's been long since she last scored big. Eligibility for the 2026 Grammys runs from September 1, 2024, until August 30, 2025. Nominations are expected to be announced later this year.
