Beyoncé keeps silent on shock Diddy verdict as she instead posts razzle-dazzle Cowboy Carter tour snaps
Beyonce treated her fans to a suite of concert photos on the Fourth of July - but kept her ongoing silence on the Diddy verdict. The 43-year-old and her husband Jay-Z, 55, are longtime friends with Diddy, but they both stayed mum in public after allegations of sexual misconduct were leveled against the rap mogul and numerous lawsuits were filed against him. However Jay-Z was pulled into the controversy late last year when an anonymous woman filed a lawsuit against him and Diddy in which she accused both of raping her in 2000 — when she was only 13 — at an afterparty for the MTV Video Music Awards. Jay-Z denied any connection to the woman and said the lawsuit was a 'blackmail attempt' in a blistering response, and she ultimately withdrew the lawsuit in February. This week, Diddy was acquitted of the most serious charges against him- sex trafficking and racketeering - while being convicted of two lesser charges of transportation to engage in prostitution. Beyoncé did not address the issue to her fans this week, and instead celebrated America's Independence Day Friday night in glamour as she rocked a red, white and blue look onstage near Washington, DC. The superstar dazzled in a stars-and-stripes bodysuit and a fur coat for her Cowboy Carter tour stop at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. For her first of two nights in the city, right outside of Washington, DC, she painted the stage red, white and blue with imagery of the American flag. The 32-time Grammy winner — who was last visiting France with Jay-Z and their 13-year-old daughter Blue Ivy during Paris Fashion Week — had her backup dancers and her stage as well as the crowded stadium matching in the same colors for the national holiday. After her performance, she took to Instagram to share photos of her stunning Independence Day look. In several snaps sans caption, she posed with a bedazzled bottle of Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades champagne, which is owned by her music mogul husband and LVMH. For most of her show, she rocked a sheer, blue bodysuit with long-sleeves and a bullet bra-inspired silhouette with silver stars on the bust. In addition to her sequined, blue bodysuit covered in stars, she also sported silver, over-the-knee boots with fringe paired with a matching rhinestoned cowboy hat. At one point, the Texas native also shed the fur coat and strutted along the stage in her on-theme, holiday outfit. She styled her long, luscious blonde hair in a bouncy blowout with voluminous curls framing her face. She smoldered in a sultry, dark brown makeup look featuring a smoky eye and a matte, nude lip. Beyoncé's husband has a long history of artistic collaborations with Diddy, going back to 1997, when both artists traded guest verses on each other's albums. Jay rapped a verse on Diddy's song Do You Like It, Do You Want It, while the future mogul was featured on Jay's sophomore album In My Lifetime, Vol. 1. Jay-Z later began dating Beyoncé in 2001, and in 2003 Diddy teamed up with her for a guest verse on her single Summertime. Jay-Z and Diddy bonded over philanthropy, and in 2005 they joined forces to make a $1 million donation to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, with the two appearing together on television to present the donation on live television. Since then, the two rappers have been seen enjoying each other's company over the years. Their most recent public appearance together appears to have been at the 2022 BET Awards, at which Jay-Z sang Diddy's praises in a video tribute piece. 'Here's this guy from a neighborhood similar to where I grown up that made it to these unreachable heights,' he said of his old friend. 'Puff was the first one that came through and made us feel like it was us.' Beyoncé's latest Fourth of July performance comes shortly after she concluded her epic six-night concern run in London and her fabulous shows in Paris. She closed out the European leg of her Cowboy Carter tour and brought out her husband to perform their hit single Crazy In Love in Paris as the couple took the stage together for the first time in seven years. Her concert in France was a family affair as she was also joined by their daughter Blue Ivy on stage and also had her mom Tina Knowles supporting them. After performing in cities around Europe, Beyonce performed in her hometown of Houston, Texas last week and experienced a horrifying moment when she suffered a stage mishap with a mid-air prop. At one point during her show on June 29, the red convertible she rides high above the crowd during her performance of 16 Carriages tilted dangerously, threatening to throw the Cowboy Carter artist off the car and into the audience. Still, Beyoncé returned to the main stage and finished the performance like the consummate professional she is. After the show, Beyoncé's team released a statement addressing the incident. 'Tonight in Houston, at NRG Stadium, a technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyonce uses to circle the stadium, and see her fans up close, to tilt. 'She was quickly lowered and no one was injured. The show continued without incident,' Parkwood Entertainment said. Despite the terrifying stakes, Beyonce appeared calm while in the car. It's unclear what exactly occurred but according to various social media accounts, her car began to tilt in the air. According to the Houston Chronicle, her car had stopped moving midair. has contacted representatives for Beyonce for comment but did not immediately hear back. According to Hot New Hip Hop, Beyonce left the stage floor briefly after her car was properly lowered to the ground before coming back to wrap up the performance. The songstress, now safely on stage, then resumed performing her song and thanked her fans with a heartfelt message. The Cowboy Carter Tour, officially titled Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour, is Beyonce's ongoing concert tour in support of her album Cowboy Carter. It's an all-stadium tour, featuring 32 stadium shows in the U.S. and Europe. The tour began on April 28, 2025, in Inglewood, California, and is scheduled to conclude on July 26, 2025, in Paradise, Nevada.

She layered her unique country-inspired garment under a matching ankle-length trench coat. In keeping with her cowboy theme, Cardi-B added inches to her surgically-enhanced frame as she slipped into a pair of matching towering platform heels.

Meghan Markle shares PDA-filled date night with Prince Harry after saying couple's in 'honeymoon' phase
Meghan Markle packed on the PDA with Prince Harry on Friday at a Beyoncé concert in Los Angeles. "About last night…. Thank you @beyonce and team for an amazing concert (and a very fun date night)! All love," the Duchess of Sussex wrote on her Instagram on Saturday, while sharing several photos and photos showing the royal couple dancing, embracing and kissing. The Saturday post comes less than two weeks after Markle said that she and Harry are in the "honeymoon" phase of their marriage. The 43-year-old likened their relationship to the final round of a video game where you "slay the dragon, save the princess," and dispelled any notion of divorce on friend Jamie Kern Lima's podcast late last month following months of speculation. "He's such a great partner. I feel that every day in how supportive he's been and is," Markle said on the podcast. "That man loves me so much and, you know, look what we've built. We've built a beautiful life, and we have two healthy, beautiful children." She continued, "I always think about it like the end of Super Mario Brothers and you get to the final final level, and what's the goal in Super Mario Brothers? Slay the dragon, save the princess." "I'm like, that's my husband," she added. "He's just out there constantly… going to do whatever he can to make sure our family is safe and protected and uplifted, and still make time for date nights." Markle said, "You have to imagine, at the beginning, everyone has butterflies, and then we immediately went into the trenches together right out of the gate, six months into dating. So now, seven years later when you have a little bit of breathing space, you can just enjoy each other in a new way, and that's why I feel like it's more of a honeymoon period for us now." "He's also a fox, if you haven't noticed," Markle joked. "My husband's very, very handsome. But his heart is even more beautiful." The PDA post also comes a week after Markle talked on her new podcast, "Confessions of a Female Founder," about the stresses of being under the "microscope" of the media while discussing launching her lifestyle brand. "Whatever I put out in the world will have so much attention," she said on the podcast on Tuesday. "I go, 'yeah.' And there's a flip side to that coin, which we know. It's a microscope that a lot of people don't have to experience." Markle rarely shares PDA photos with her husband, but after she started a new Instagram at the beginning of the year when she launched her lifestyle brand, the duchess began to post pictures of her family, including her children, (although mainly the backs of their heads). The couple stepped down as senior royals and left England in 2020 over what they perceived as intense and unfair scrutiny of Markle from the British media.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle danced the night away at Beyonce gig – but he STILL looked glum, says expert
PRINCE Harry looked glum while he danced his night away along with Meghan Markle at Beyonce's gig, a Royal expert has told The Sun. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were seen dancing in a luxury suite worth thousands of dollars at the singer's Cowboy Carter tour in LA. 6 6 Harry, 40, was standing and bopping his head awkwardly while the Duchess repeatedly threw her hands in the air as Beyonce belted out Texas Hold'Em. Harry, 40, wore a khaki hat, jacket and black T-shirt for the cowboy-themed show while Meghan, 43, wore a royal blue dress. A separate official photo posted on Beyonce's official tour website showed the couple smiling with their arms around each other. But Royal expert Hugo Vickers said that Prince Harry "did not look very happy" at the bougie gig. The expert told The Sun: "It would have been nicer still if he'd looked a little happier, perhaps. He looked rather glum." "[Harry] didn't look terribly happy in the photograph that I saw, but then I find he doesn't really look very happy anyway." Meghan called the gig a "very fun date night", captioning an Instagram post: "About last night.... Thank you Beyonce and team for an amazing concert (and a very fun date night)! All love". She also shared a video of Harry kissing her on the cheek, and other pictures from the night including one with her arms wrapped around him. She also revealed an engraving inside Prince Harry's cowboy hat with his children's names: "Archie, Lili, my love". It also had the American and British flags. Prince Harry & Meghan Markle put on united front at Beyonce gig after rumours they are 'spending summer apart' Mr Vickers added: "Well, I would actually give them the benefit of the doubt, and think that they both wanted to go to the concert, and they've probably both been busy doing other things. "We know he's had a lot on his mind with his court case, and so forth, and she's been busy promoting other things." Judi James, a leading body analyst expert, said Meghan's body language suggested an 'intense' way of projecting the couple, adding the picture showed 'little signs of anything spontaneous'. She said the couple's pose looked 'performative' and "an announcement". In the photo, the couple can be seen cuddling up and dressed up for the cowboy theme. But Judi James told The Sun that the photo is anything but natural. James said: "The body language in this 'celebrity power couple' pose could be defined as performative, 'Photo-Me-booth' quality with very little signs of anything spontaneous and totally natural. She paid particular attention to Meghan's hand positioning, which she said offers major insight into the intent. It comes following rumours that the couple were living increasingly separate lives. Both Harry and Meghan have also suffered personal setbacks this month. Prince Harry humiliatingly lost a High Court appeal in his long-running battle with the Home Office over his security arrangements. Meghan separately was forced to fend off a potential lawsuit after a fan threatened to sue, claiming that her bath salt recipe left her with "catastrophic burns". Meghan and Beyonce are reported to have been friends over the years, with the superstar previously praising the Duchess' "courage and leadership". Prince Harry and Meghan also attended Beyonce's Renaissance World Tour in California in September 2023. The couple's partying comes after Harry lost a long-running legal battle against the Home Office about his security arrangements. He had argued at the Court of Appeal that his "life was at stake" when in Britain after his automatic right to 24-hour gun cops was removed when he and Meghan quit life at working royals. 6 He lost the case and then hit out again at the Royal in an interview to the BBC in California. Experts worry it may have cost him his relationship with his father. During the bombshell interview, he told how he had "forgiven" the Royal Family - but never apologised himself. He said: "I have no idea how much longer my father has - he is no longer speaking to me - but it would be nice to reconcile." He also moaned that it was impossible to bring his family to the UK. But The Sun yesterday revealed doorbell footage of him wandering a street in West London and calling at houses while "looking for a friend". He tried his luck at at least three homes before finding the right out - despite his claims that he felt unsafe without gun police. The Sun on Sunday has also previously revealed that he stayed at a pal's posh home and, against security protocols, had a Deliveroo sent to the front door. 6
