Meghan Markle Turned To Beyoncé's Mum For Advice On Working With Lilibet
Meghan Markle's daughter Lilibet will turn four tomorrow, but her mother is already dreaming about Lili's career and the possibility of them being in business together.
The Duchess of Sussex interviewed Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles, on her podcast Confessions of a Female Founder and asked Knowles for her advice on working with your children.
Meghan specifically asked Knowles about Beyoncé's hair care line, Cécred, which Knowles and Beyoncé work on together. (Knowles is a beautician and owned a Houston salon when Beyoncé was growing up.) 'I mean, I wonder if one day I'll be in business with Lili and we'll be building something...' she began, before asking Knowles, 'What advice do you have for people really digging into business together in that way, especially as mother and daughter?'
Knowles had a thoughtful answer, saying, 'There are difficulties sometimes because when you're dealing with your child or they're dealing with their mother. You have disagreements and you have to—I'm the one to always cave. I've been like that since I was young. If my kids are mad at me, I can't take it. So, I'll cave, I'll apologize. Not that they ran over me because they were really good kids, but even as adults, if we have a disagreement or whatever, I'm the one to call because I don't want to waste that time, and I don't ever want to not be close to my kids. It's just my priority.'
On working with Beyoncé, Knowles said that she respects her daughter's judgment. 'We have disagreements about things, but it's her business,' she said. 'I'm helping with the business because I just want to leave this earth knowing that she is, other than entertainment, is going to be okay. That's a big part of it for me. But overall, we get along really, really well.'

When in London, Miley Cyrus Wears the Capital's Favorite Freakiest Shoe
Miley Cyrus spent the week taking Paris by storm, the streets her runway: She played a secret show for fans in Moulin Rouge-esque, vintage and crystal-encrusted Mugler corsets, and took to the streets in full Valentino, a sheer gown with a feather bra, and a very special Eiffel Tower-embellished archival mini-dress. Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid Alongside her very different takes on French girl chic, Cyrus also joined Beyoncé on her mammoth Cowboy Carter tour to become her very first guest performer. The duo performed 'II Most Wanted' from 2024's Cowboy Carter, which won them the Grammy for best country duo or group performance. The crowd, of course, went wild. For the moment, they both opted for gilded, golden looks: Cyrus in custom Alexander McQueen, and Bey in custom Rabanne. So stepping off the Eurostar at London St. Pancras International station yesterday (June 20), Cyrus exhibited a style more in step with the London fashion set aesthetic, as she arrived to keep promoting her latest album Something Beautiful. She wore a blue-gray trench coat with light blue wash straight leg jeans rolled up at the ankles, and a black tank layered with gold necklaces. She brushed back her usual '80s blow-out into a slick back ponytail, with huge aviator sunglasses and a Maison Margiela 5AC black handbag. On her feet, every east London girl's favorite choice for freaky footwear: the Margiela tabi ballerina flat.

Beyoncé pens sweet note to Sir Paul McCartney
Beyoncé closed out her six-show run in London on Monday night with a heartfelt thank you to a music legend. 'Thank you, Sir Paul McCartney, for writing one of the best songs ever made,' she wrote in a caption on Instagram. 'Every time I sing it, I feel so honored.' Beyoncé is referencing his song 'Blackbird,' which she sings on her 2024 album 'Cowboy Carter.' However, she spells it 'Blackbiird.' Mario Lopez weighs in on deportations: 'Immigrants are what makes America beautiful' She called it a full-circle moment as the singer was wearing his daughter Stella McCartney's design while singing the song during the show. The Cécred founder then thanked her fans across the pond. 'Thank you, London, for creating unforgettable memories for me and my family,' Beyoncé said. 'Holla at 'ya when I come on tour again!' The 32-time GRAMMY winner's Cowboy Carter Tour continues to break records, even ones she previously held. Her six shows at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium received over 275,000 fans and 'grossed over £45,000,000 ($61,500,000 USD), making it the most tickets and highest gross for any artist in the stadium's history,' LiveNation explained in a press release. Taylor Swift surprises patients at children's hospital Beyoncé now holds the venue record for most concerts performed by any artist. Her 2025 tour 'surpassed the benchmark she previously set with five sold-out nights during her Renaissance World Tour in 2023, breaking her own all-time record for most performances by any artist at the venue.' The 'Crazy in Love' singer now heads to Paris, where she'll hit the stage of the Stadium in Saint-Denis, France on June 19, 21 and 22. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Beyoncé Closes the Cowboy Carter London Shows in Stunning Gold Fringed Chaps
Beyoncé has officially wrapped her London Cowboy Carter Tour shows, and what better way to close it out than with a Sir Paul McCartney tribute? For a performance of 'BLACKBIIRD,' which is her cover of the famous Beatles song, Mrs. Carter tapped the designer (and McCartney's daughter) Stella McCartney for a custom look. She wore a white bodysuit adorned with two blackbirds on the front (the word 'BLACKBIIRD' is also etched into the white fabric) and gold fringed chaps, handcrafted at the Stella McCartney London atelier. She topped off the look with gold heels, a diamond necklace, and diamond jewelry. The full outfit also included a white floor-length coat, a white cowboy hat, and aviator shades. Beyoncé posted several shots of her look on Instagram and even included a (very rare) caption to accompany the photos. 'Thank you, Sir Paul McCartney, for writing one of the best songs ever made,' she wrote. 'Every time I sing it I feel so honored. And it is a full circle moment to wear your beautiful daughter's design.' She went on to give a shout-out to London and tease her next tour. 'Thank you, London, for creating unforgettable memories for me and my family. Holla at 'ya when I come on tour again!' The pop star also brought the white coat and white cowboy hat combo out for another look, which was a stunning blue rhinestone jumpsuit with a bald eagle embroidered on it. (The coat had an eagle on the back, too.) She posted the outfit in another Instagram carousel, which also included a few other new fashion moments. In one shot, she's shown in an all-black outfit, wearing a corset, leather pants with lace detailing, a cowboy hat, a silver belt, and a veil. In another, she wears chunky tan belts as a top and pairs the look with denim shorts, a fringe jacket, white furry boots, brown gloves, and a hat that says, 'BNCNTRY,' which is a nod to her website where she's been posting personal and professional photos that honor her country roots. If you want to see all the incredible tour looks in person, there's still time to get tickets for the last few shows. Click here for more info.
