Beyoncé lands Night 3 in London: Watch Rumi get emotional onstage, more standout moments
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter commanded the stage her third night in London on her "Cowboy Carter" tour, continuing her tradition of fresh custom looks and high-powered energy.
The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her June 10 show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium around 7:41 p.m. local time. The show marked her third of six shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is set to hit the stage again June 12, 14 and 16, before heading to Paris for three nights.
'We're gonna have us a good time tonight,' Beyoncé said as she opened the show.
As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. Here are top moments from Tuesday's high-powered performance.

Of course, one of the most talked about moments of the tour has been Beyoncé and Jay-Z's 7-year-old daughter, Rumi Carter, who joins her mother and sister Blue Ivy Carter during the "Protector" performance. Night after night, Rumi has touched the hearts of fans with her warm, vibrant presence.

On Tuesday in London, she continued to shine. This time entering the stage with a twirl and sharing what appeared to be an emotional moment that captured the crowd's full attention.
Beyoncé debuts more head-turning looks during third London show
By now, fans expect Beyoncé to serve high fashion looks and cowboy couture. The entire tour has been a full-blown showcase of fashion and creativity, in addition to music. Each night, she has been keeping fans on the edge of their seats as they anticipate a new look and custom designer pieces.
On Tuesday night, she delivered once again with many of her looks having dual functionality. One head-turning look came when Beyoncé appeared to rock a custom Off-White outfit, featuring a black cowboy hat. Shortly after, she showed off a red durag style cap with the outfit. Meanwhile her dancers wore a red ensemble with black cowboy hats.
The new fashion looks continued throughout the night with Beyoncé debuting fresh looks during her "Texas Hold 'Em" performance.
Some fans noted that Beyoncé seemed to reimagine elements of her dazzling "Renaissance" looks for the "Cowboy Carter" era. One account noted, "Tonight's outfits keep getting better and better! London, you're lucky!"
Beyoncé keeps 'Renaissance' favorites on the set list for third London show
Of course, Beyoncé added some fan favorite tunes from her 2022 album "Renaissance" during her London opener June 5. And luckily for many fans, they appear to be a permanent addition — at least at her London shows. During her June 10 concert she kept her hit song "Energy" on the set list and fans got a chance to hit the the "mute challenge" once again. Additionally, she also performed her hit 2022 single "Break My Soul," which she did for the first time on night two in London.
The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.

Telfar's 20th Anniversary Show: A Celebration With a Message

NEW YORK — On Saturday afternoon, the front of Telfar's flagship store was packed with exceptionally attractive and fashionable people of various skin tones, body shapes, ages and gender identities, smoking joints and chatting. While it may have looked like an average SoHo Saturday, the crowd was, in fact, a carefully curated group, set to walk in Telfar's first runway show in three years, which doubled as a celebration of its 20th year in business. Some of the 200 models walking the show had a history with the brand, appearing in its e-commerce photos or freelancing as creative collaborators; for many, walking for Telfar marked their runway debut. But others weren't models at all: Telfar founder Telfar Clemens' longtime collaborator Ian Isiah, also known as New York Shugga, for instance, walked the runway in a sleeveless white and gold top while walking alongside his mum and dog. Clemens' own mother, Hawa Clemens, walked the show in a pale blue polo dress. Fellow indie designer Raul Lopez strutted down the alley in a matching pale blue elongated button-up and pants. The audience, meanwhile, was filled with friends of the brand, from celebrities like Solange Knowles and musician Kelela to fellow designers like former Diesel creative director Nicola Formichetti. It almost felt like a family reunion: actor Indya Moore and art curator Kimberly Drew shared a long embrace before the show started.

(Getty) The group's diversity — and their familiarity with one another — reflected Telfar's ethos, where all races, sizes and gender identities come together to express themselves freely. 'Most brands try to dictate what the wearer should be,' said Justin French, a Brooklyn-based photographer who was invited to the show as a friend of the brand. With Telfar, 'people can bring themselves to it,' French added. Community has become an enduring buzzword for brands seeking to win customer loyalty and grow via word-of-mouth endorsements. Telfar's two decades in business has served as a playbook for doing so, turning its ideology into a successful, globally-recognised independent label. Founded in 2005 as a genderless fashion project by Clemens, the brand penetrated the zeitgeist in 2014 when it launched its cult $150 to $250 vegan leather totes with its TC logo, dubbed the 'Bushwick Birkins,' which reached a new peak when they went viral in 2022 after Beyoncé name-checked the bag on her 'Renaissance' album that year. Telfar's growth has been fuelled, in part, by strategic partnerships, such as an ongoing tie-up with Ugg, and events like a pop-up at the New York-based discount chain Rainbow in 2022. Its innovative approach is all the more notable considering the fact that the brand has had no official financial backers, save for a $400,000 grant from the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund in 2017. The logo-driven collection the brand presented on Saturday illustrated Telfar's evolution into a household name, while retaining its roots as an irreverent critique of mainstream fashion. The line ranged from cheeky smiley face motifs on dresses and accessories meant to look like disposable shopping bags to structured denim outerwear and hoodies and matching sets featuring the brand's signature 'I Love New York' print, where the Telfar mark replaces the heart in the iconic logo. It was both reminiscent of the brand's past and indicative of its present, which has seen the brand embrace more conventional industry practices: In the last year, it launched real leather bags for as much as $1,540, hosted a pop-up in Selfridges in London and opened its first retail store in New York. But Telfar's not abandoning its rebellious spirit, especially when few brands are taking strong political stances amid threats to immigration rights and diversity, equity and inclusion. Two days before the show, the brand broadcasted a pre-taped model search on Telfar TV — its 24-hour streaming network — where viewers voted for the hopefuls competing to walk in the show. The hour-long program was more sociopolitical commentary than a play on 'America's Next Top Model.' Among challenges where contestants engaged in catwalk battles, voguing standoffs and a poetry slam, Isiah, a regular Telfar TV host, posed the question, 'Are you completely satisfied with everything in the world right now?' It was as much a casting call as a plea for a paradigm shift: 'Trans people, queer people, Black people; We are the models,' a contestant named Facts on Fire said during the broadcast.

(Getty) The brand's inclusivity was on display at Saturday's show: Men rocked pencil skirts and sarongs with jelly sandals in the shape of the brand's logo, while a same-sex couple in coordinating green wide-leg pants and billowy button ups held hands as they walked. There was also a group of models wearing cut up tees, polos, skirts and sweats in an army green camo print — a subtle but charged political gesture as the US enters a war in Iran and various protests break out in American cities.

(Getty) The presentation reaffirmed that anyone is welcome in Telfar's world — so long as they're willing to challenge the status quo, a message that continues to grip the brand's longtime supporters. 'Telfar is someone who is active in organizing spaces, queer spaces … it's opened up my mind in terms of what it means to be a designer,' said Jazmin Jones, a filmmaker who attended the show. Jones has been a fan of the brand since 2020 when she purchased her first pair of $150 Telfar earrings. She added: 'If I am going to have a logo on, as someone who doesn't like wearing logos, it feels good to wear the Telfar logo and to be like 'It's not for you, it's for everybody.'

Lecrae: Bridging Faith, Culture, and Hip-Hop

Source: Jason Armond / Getty Lecrae Moore, known mononymously as Lecrae, is a GRAMMY-winning rapper, producer, and entrepreneur whose career has reshaped the landscape of Christian hip-hop and beyond. Born in Houston and raised in a variety of cities, Lecrae's music carries the weight of his personal journey—one rooted in faith, redemption, and community uplift. Lecrae's 2013 GRAMMY win for Best Gospel Album with Gravity marked a historic moment—not just for himself, but for the Christian hip-hop genre as a whole. That project, a blend of introspective lyricism, trap-influenced beats, and socially conscious storytelling, showcased Lecrae's ability to tackle real-world issues while staying grounded in spiritual themes. His work has made space for messages of faith in mainstream hip-hop and proved that rap with purpose can still top charts. Lecrae's artistry is deeply informed by hip-hop legends like Tupac Shakur and Nas, whose vivid storytelling and social commentary laid the groundwork for his narrative style. He also credits Outkast and Lauryn Hill for teaching him that music can be both thought-provoking and sonically rich. However, it wasn't just rap that shaped him—gospel artists like Kirk Franklin and soul legends like Curtis Mayfield helped guide Lecrae's blend of spiritual depth and cultural resonance. These influences gave rise to a unique sound: vulnerable yet powerful, rooted in Scripture yet attuned to the streets. Through his label, Reach Records, Lecrae has created space for artists who share his vision—offering a platform for voices often excluded from both the church and the mainstream industry. Lecrae's influence reaches far beyond album sales and award wins. Artists such as Andy Mineo, NF, and even Chance the Rapper have acknowledged Lecrae's impact—whether directly or indirectly—through their own work that fuses spirituality and hip-hop. In fact, Lecrae has paved the way for mainstream artists to explore faith openly in their lyrics without sacrificing artistic integrity or popularity. His unapologetic stance on racial justice, mental health, and inner-city struggles has also inspired non-musical community work and social reform. Lecrae doesn't just make music—he makes movements. His influence continues to ripple through both Christian and secular music spaces, proving that rhythm rooted in purpose can truly change the culture. SEE ALSO Black America Web Featured Video CLOSE

Solange Wore a Deconstructed Skirt at Telfar's 20th Anniversary Show

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." If Solange's style could be described in two words, it would be elegant and experimental. Much like her music, it's a balance she's mastered again and again, and last night was no different. In honor of Telfar's 20th anniversary, the Grammy-winning artist attended the brand's high-energy runway show during Juneteenth weekend in New York City. A vibrant celebration and display of community, Solange was one of the many recognizable faces in attendance to support founder and designer Telfar Clemens. For the event, the Grammy award-winning singer stepped out in her go-to color palette of dark-toned neutrals. Wearing a summer-appropriate bra-as-top sculptural black bandeau, she made a statement with the cropped fit cut cleanly across her chest. But the real standout of her look was her choice of bottom. She opted for a bold, deconstructed piece that combined a classic pinstriped button-down and a leather skirt into one seamless design. The shirt element was tied around the hips, creating an asymmetric, draped effect that added fluidity to her outfit. On her feet, she kept things sleek with square-toe black thong sandals. The minimal silhouette contrasted with the volume and movement of the skirt. As for her glam, Solange went for her signature understated and minimal makeup. Her barely-there approach featured a glowy and radiant base, lightly feathered brows, and a glossy pink lip. She also kept her hair down and loose in her usual waves.
