Beyonce stops show after scary prop malfunction
The 43-year-old singer was performing the first of her two Cowboy Carter shows in Houston, Texas on Saturday night US time when one of her props - a red convertible - malfunctioned and began to tilt in mid-air.
Beyonce - who appeared to be wearing a harness and was holding onto one of the cables attached to the car in a TikTok video of the incident - was singing 16 Carriages while sitting on top of the convertible when it began to lean at a sharp angle in the air.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop," she said into her microphone.
The music was cut and the Texas Hold 'Em singer looked down at the ground and up again before smiling to the cheering crowd.
She told them after a few seconds: "Thank y'all for your patience."
The car was then lowered and stopped tilting as it came closer to the ground, allowing Beyonce to sit back in her original position as the lights went off.
The singer left the stage before returning to finish her performance, telling the crowd: "If ever I fall. I know y'all would catch me."
This isn't the first malfunction Beyonce has experienced during her Cowboy Carter tour.
In California in May, the former Destiny's Child star was seen looking for her mark before the Cozy segment of the show, in which she is surrounded by gold frames.
But footage shared online showed her spot wasn't visible as she waited for robotic arms to bring the frames around her body and, appearing visibly confused, she was forced to complete her performance while avoiding being hit by the robotic props.
Also in May, Beyonce's 13-year-old daughter Blue Ivy - who is a dancer on the tour - intervened to unhook an earring that almost got caught in the Crazy in Love hitmaker's hair mid-performance.
And during one of her London shows in May, Beyonce's golden chaps slipped off as she sang, but she just pulled her outfit up and kept moving.
Beyonce was forced to stop one of her concerts in Texas when she almost fell out of a flying car.

Debbie Harry describes cosmetic surgery as necessary for her career
Debbie Harry has described cosmetic surgery as necessary for her career. The Blondie singer, 80, spoke candidly to Vanity Fair about her decision to undergo plastic surgery, saying it helped her feel more confident and better about herself. She revealed: 'As far as me having cosmetic surgery, it made me feel better about myself. Maybe it made me feel happy, or more confident.' Debbie added the procedures were something she felt she needed at the time. She said: 'I wanted to work, and so much of women being attractive, and being a selling point, is clearly showbiz. 'If you're going to be in the business, be in it.' Debbie also reflected on the pressure entertainers face regarding their appearance, noting cosmetic surgery now starts at much younger ages. 'It's not like I started having cosmetic surgery as a kid in school — I think nowadays a lot of girls are getting cosmetic surgery when they're 10, 11 years old,' she said. Debbie added: 'God bless if it improves their lives and they feel happy.' Her openness follows a recent wave of celebrities discussing their own cosmetic procedures. Khloe Kardashian, 41, recently responded in the comments of a reel by Dr Jonathan Betteridge, detailing her nose job and what she described as 'salmon sperm facials'. Kylie Jenner, 27, has also revealed the specifics of her breast augmentation after a TikTok user asked about her 'most perfect, natural boob job ever'. Jenner wrote online: '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!!' Meanwhile, Kris Jenner, 69, praised her surgeon Dr Garth Fisher in an Instagram comment, recalling her first facelift in 2011. 'You made it the most amazing experience ever and even gave us access to film so that others could get a peek inside what it's like and not be afraid,' Kris said. Fans have compared Kris' refreshed look to her supermodel daughter Kendall, 29. A representative confirmed Dr Steven Levine of New York is responsible for Kris' youthful appearance. Kristin Cavallari, 38, recently shared details of her breast augmentation on Instagram Stories, saying: 'I was 300 cc before and now I'm 340. 'Everyone thinks I went a lot bigger but I've just pushed them up a couple of times since getting them done.'

Meanwhile, mom Kris Jenner, 69, took to the comments thread of a June 4 Instagram post by Kylie's surgeon, Dr. Garth Fisher, to share her own experience with him.

'You did my first facelift in 2011… 14 years ago!!! and made it the most amazing experience ever and even gave us access to film so that others could get a peek inside what it's like and not be afraid,' the reality TV star divulged. The momager added, 'You have taken great care of us always and remain such a close and treasured friend!! Such an incredible talent!!"

@gnarlynandos: Stylist Sonali Fernando recreates Perth suburbs as high fashion outfits in unrivalled series
The stylist behind a growing TikTok series is attracting hundreds of thousands of views with her recreations of Perth suburbs as high-fashion outfits. Sonali Fernando has used her commanding sense of style and abundant wardrobe to build outfits inspired by areas across WA in a set of videos that are rapidly gaining traction online. Ms Fernando has curated ensembles for almost every suburb, from Wanneroo to Armadale, Cowaramup and even Kalgoorlie — and she knows what she's talking about. 'I grew up in Perth. And growing up as a first-generation immigrant, my family have lived all over Perth,' she said. 'I've lived in Belmont, I lived in Cloverdale, I've lived in the hills regions. 'Also, being part of that kind of immigrant community, a lot of us are sort of in those historically lower socio-economic areas. 'So, having spent a lot of time in those areas, we just kind of develop an insight into the vibe of the place, the characters that live there and things that make it unique.' Ms Fernando's TikTok dedicated to Gosnells , Armadale, and Fremantle has garnered 170,000 views. She explained how she recreated her edgy look for Belmont, which has been viewed close to 46,000 times. 'Belmont is pulling from the more eshay vibes that you see sometimes and the colourful items that you see some people wearing: like the Asian grandmas that are dressed in all kinds of different colours, they have their trolley and they're getting their groceries and the people that you see after the Belmont's 5am swap meet market. 'It's just taking elements like that, which uniquely reflect the aura or the essence of the suburb and then bringing it to life in an outfit. 'Especially for some of the lower socio-economic areas, I wanted to elevate them as well; there's actually a lot of cool things happening in those areas.' Ms Fernando's ethically sourced and hyper-local fashion series is the first of its kind in Perth and an ode to the city she believes to be Australia's underdog. 'Perth is kind of an underdog state and I want to embrace it,' she added. 'I think it's a bit of a rite of passage for creators in Perth to, you know, do their time in Perth and then they inevitably leave to go to Melbourne or Sydney or overseas. 'For me (the series) was a way for me to be like 'there's things to appreciate here and there are things happening, there is a space to be seen and to make a make a change — you can be yourself now'. 'It's also sort of poking fun at the view that Perth is a bit more conservative, but you can still do your thing here.'
