BeyHive Couture: Vogue Captures Street Style Looks at the Cowboy Carter Show in Houston
The scene outside of NRG Stadium over the weekend for the two-night run of Cowboy Carter shows was nothing short of a pep rally. Texas-sized chrysanthemum corsages were on parade, embellished with ribbons and decorative spirit trinkets, pinned at the shoulder (down South, we call them mums). Red, white, and blue silk sashes sliced through crowds, too, customized to riff on the Grammy Award-winning (Best Country Album, anyone?) record cover. And because June 28 serendipitously doubled as International LGBTQI+ Pride Day, a gulf of self-described queens rounded out this metaphoric homecoming court.
Beyoncé's past and present onstage fashion inspired street style looks laden with Easter eggs. A number of outfits paid homage to the inaugural NFL 2024 Christmas Day Halftime Show, apropos-dubbed BeyBowl, for the Houston Texas vs. Baltimore Ravens game, which also took place at NRG. Many a concertgoer drew from the furry, feathered, and rhinestone-flecked all-white western wear that stylist and costume designer Shiona Turini produced for Cowboy Carter Christmas. Others paid tribute to classic Americana, with patriotic flags waving through Levi's or Wrangler denim belt loops.
For Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo competitors, such as sister barrel racers Leah and Elizabeth Zadel, it was an occasion to layer functional cowgirl gear with couture.
'These are Stella McCartney jeans that I saved up for, for a long time with the Ariat boots I always wear,' Leah told Vogue. 'And my sister got the idea for her pants from Beyoncé's custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture outfit for the tour. She sewed on all those conchos after she couldn't find anything similar and thought, 'Why not make it myself?''
Outside of Queen Bey's hometown hoedown, Vogue photographed some of the most inventive and inspiring looks.
Arturo Valenzuela: 'I really went off of her Christmas [halftime show] outfits. With everything going on in the world right now I thought, 'Let me show up and show out.' I thought the white really pops on my skin tone. And my sash was made by a designer I found on TikTok.'

NY Giants Insider Shuts Down Odell Beckham Reunion Rumors
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When a New York Giants fan shouted at Odell Beckham Jr. at 'Fanatics Fest' recently, he encouraged the former Pro Bowl wideout to return to the team. Beckham, currently a free agent, entertained the idea. "I got you," the smiling Beckham fired back. Although it was a big comment that probably didn't come with much thought, as he found an answer so quickly, Beckham's reaction sparked speculation about a potential return to the team that drafted him out of LSU. The veteran wide receiver added more fuel to the speculation when he posted a picture that included MetLife Stadium in the background. Beckham captioned the photo with a message to his son. The star receiver was thinking back to his fond memories of playing the game in Giants blue.

"We changed the game [and] inspired a generation who came behind us. We still got more to do... I'm loving every second I get [with you and] I can't wait to see what [you] do in this world.... [Your] turn twin." Odell Beckham Jr. #13 of the New York Giants reacts against the Carolina Panthers in the second quarter during their game at Bank of America Stadium on October 7 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Odell Beckham Jr. #13 of the New York Giants reacts against the Carolina Panthers in the second quarter during their game at Bank of America Stadium on October 7 in Charlotte, North the growing narrative of a potential Beckham-Giants reunion, one New York-based insider claims that there is no fire from where the smoke is coming out. Beckham might have an interest in that scenario, but the feelings do not seem to be mutual at the moment. "Odell Beckham Jr. made some comments at Fanatics Fest about maybe coming back to the Giants. I talked to people, and there is nothing brewing there," ESPN's Jordan Raanan stated. Odell Beckham Jr. is "unlikely" to return to the Giants this season, per @JordanRaanan — SleeperGiants (@SleeperGiants) July 1, 2025 "It's unlikely to happen. I would not expect Odell Beckham Jr. to be a Giant again. Maybe somewhere along the line, signing a one-day contract, retires a Giant, that's a thing, and some players have done that, fine. That could happen. I don't see, based on talking to people, Odell Beckham coming back to the Giants this year, is something that's realistic and makes a ton of sense." Read More: NFL Insider Uses Josh Allen Blueprint as Example for NY Giants Beckham spent the first five years of his NFL career playing for the Giants. Ahead of the 2019 NFL season, he was traded to the Cleveland Browns, alongside Olivier Vernon. The Giants acquired Jabrill Pepper, Kevin Zeitler, a first-round pick, and a third-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. At the time, Beckham was leaving the Giants on a low note. The type of situation that would suggest a reunion might be unlikely to happen in the future. While it seems like the team could heal all, the Giants aren't currently planning to pair up Beckham and the recently signed Russell Wilson for the 2025 NFL season. Beckham will remain a free agent for the time being. Last season, he played in nine games for the Miami Dolphins. He caught just nine passes for 55 yards and zero touchdowns. Beckham hasn't called it a career, as he's waiting for his next opportunity in the NFL to pop up. For more New York Giants and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.

Olivia Munn on Aaron Rodgers family rift: 'It's not my story to tell'
Olivia Munn is shedding some light on a stubborn rumor about her romance with NFL player Aaron Rodgers. Munn, who is now married to comedian John Mulaney, with whom she shares a child, was linked to Rodgers from 2014 to 2017. Now, she's speaking out on fan theories that she was behind a much-discussed rift between the Steelers quarterback and his family. "There's this whole big narrative that stayed with me for so many years, but there was just this dynamic in the family that had nothing to do with me," Munn, 44, said in a recent appearance on the "Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard" podcast. Olivia Munn refused to sign NDA, turned down seven figures after 'traumatic' set experience "It became this whole big thing, and people were like, 'I can't believe her, she's keeping this family apart,'" she added, explaining that while she had some understanding of the conflict, it was never her story to tell. "People have speculated for many years what was the rift," she said, "and I know, but I'm not saying because it's not my story to tell." Rodgers, who has since married girlfriend Brittani, with whom his relationship is much more private, has been publicly splintered with his family for years. That split broke even more into the public fore when, in 2016, Rodgers' younger brother Jordan Rodgers appeared on "The Bachelorette" and spoke publicly about the family's rift. While he stopped short of revealing the source of the conflict, the younger Rodgers, who ultimately got engaged to lead JoJo Fletcher, made the estrangement known. During the "Hometowns" episode of the show, the elder Rodgers was notably absent, and as Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers were catapulted into fame, the brothers remain at a distance. Aaron Rodgers breaks silence on brother Jordan Rodgers' 'Bachelorette' run 8 years later Munn, for her part, said the constant speculation – and assumption that she was the root cause – was maddening. "You've been asking for the longest time. This is the constant conversation. The man himself is saying it. They don't want that answer," she said on the podcast, referencing comments Rodgers himself made to shut down the rumor that Munn was responsible for the rift. "I was really grateful that he did that," she added. "Even if people didn't want to take hold of that statement, it made me feel good that it was said."
