Beyoncé and Rihanna Fans Are Actually Feuding Over Which 'Vogue' Cover Is Better


The September issue of Vogue is typically the most talked about of the year, and this time it featured not one but two icons on the cover: Beyoncé, for American Vogue, and Rihanna for British Vogue. On Beyoncé’s U.S.-based cover, the singer stuns in a white Victorian-esque prairie dress in front of a white sheet, her smize in full effect. Meanwhile, Rihanna sports dainty brows and orange gloves on her cover as she casually stares into every British Vogue reader’s soul. Rihanna and Bey are each brilliant and talented, but wait: What’s that? They’re both wearing flower crowns on their Vogue covers! The horror!

Obviously, I kid: Bey and Rih are both more than allowed to wear flower crowns at the same time and serve lewks. It appears, however, as if certain segments of their fandoms aren’t too happy the singers are rocking similar vibes. As first reported by BuzzFeed, a few Beyoncé and Rihanna fans are currently at war over which star was the first to wear a flower crown. “Thanks for the Rihanna concept,” one fan replied to Vogue‘s tweet of Beyoncé’s cover, while another wrote, “Hmmm seems a bit like @BritishVogue cover with Rihanna to me?” More fans soon came out of the woodwork with receipts, comebacks, and ad hominem attacks.

Thankfully, the fans pitting Beyoncé and Rihanna against each other are in the minority. There are plenty more Twitter commentators who jumped in and declared that both women look terrific on their covers, and casually revived flower crowns in the process. We couldn’t agree more.

Beyoncé Says She's in 'No Rush' to Get Rid of Her 'Mommy Pouch'


Beyoncé appears on the cover of Vogue‘s September issue, in a photo-shoot gorgeously done by 23-year-old Tyler Mitchell, an up-and-coming black photographer. Paired with the photos is a brief as-told-to essay in which Queen B opens up about paving the way for “the next generation of talents,” owning her confidence and power, and, perhaps most poignantly, learning to embrace and her body after giving birth to twins last year.

The “Love on Top” singer admits she succumbed to societal pressures that encourage women to “bounce back” after giving birth when she welcomed her daughter, Blue Ivy, in January 2012—but she “approached things very differently” after Sir and Rumi arrived in June 2017. “I was 218 pounds the day I gave birth to Rumi and Sir. I was swollen from toxemia and had been on bed rest for over a month. My health and my babies’ health were in danger, so I had an emergency C-section. We spent many weeks in the NICU,” she says in Vogue, adding that she now has a “connection” to other parents who have been through similar experiences.

“After the C-section, my core felt different. It had been major surgery. Some of your organs are shifted temporarily, and in rare cases, removed temporarily during delivery. I am not sure everyone understands that. I needed time to heal, to recover,” she said. “During my recovery, I gave myself self-love and self-care, and I embraced being curvier. I accepted what my body wanted to be. After six months, I started preparing for Coachella. I became vegan temporarily, gave up coffee, alcohol, and all fruit drinks. But I was patient with myself and enjoyed my fuller curves. My kids and husband did, too.”

And though that Coachella prep changed her body, Bey says the wisdom she gained after Sir and Rumi’s birth has stuck with her. “To this day my arms, shoulders, breasts, and thighs are fuller. I have a little mommy pouch, and I’m in no rush to get rid of it. I think it’s real,” she writes. “Whenever I’m ready to get a six-pack, I will go into beast zone and work my ass off until I have it. But right now, my little FUPA and I feel like we are meant to be.”

The Internet Is Freaking Out Over This Ultra-Candid Instagram Video of Beyoncé


To a wide swath of planet Earth, Beyoncé is a celestial being who towers over the rest of us mere mortals, casually doing things like making Coachella history, dominating events she didn’t even attend, and triggering applause for walking out of a room.

But every once in a while, she does something to remind us that under her carefully put-together image is a human. Case in point, this weekend: Much to the delight of the Beyhive, Beyoncé’s longtime friend Mally Roncal posted an Instagram video of Queen Bey caught in the relatable act of posing for a video that she thought was a photo.

In the clip, Roncal asks, “Who’s the most beautiful woman on the planet?” while Beyoncé shows off her best selfie-mode kiss-face. Quickly, she realizes that Roncal is shooting a video and starts cracking up. “Wait―this is a video? Sorry,” she says through laughter. “I’m over here making fish lips.”

Roncal captioned the photo by saying, “I met this Other Worldly Earth Angel when she was 19 years old and now, two marriages, 6 kids, countless makeup sessions, photo/video shoots, award ceremonies and 16 years between us, every time is see you it’s like yesterday! Thank you for your loving, kind, silly, inspiring spirit.”

Of course, fans freaked out about how shockingly normal the whole interaction seemed. They quickly turned to social media to gush about how much joy Bey’s single moment of confusion brought them.

“Cannot describe the way my heart rate LEAPS when I see a candid video of Beyoncé,” one person wrote. Someone else joked, “Beyonce invented ‘oh wait this is a video’ never heard it before today.”

It is not the first time Beyoncé has left her fans shook by doing something a regular person would do. She, at one point in human history, has held a juice box, visited Target, and worn $10 mascara.

Could it be that Beyoncé is (gasp) just like us? We can’t be sure—we’ll just have to wait for more evidence to emerge.

Michelle and Barack Obama Are Honestly Living Their Best Lives at Beyoncé and Jay Z's Concert


On Saturday, Michelle and Barack Obama proved once again that they are living their best post-White House life when they attended Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s concert in Maryland, near their home of Washington, D.C. Not only did they prove they are having the best time, but they also showed they still have the best dance moves of any presidential family in U.S. history (and that’s zero percent an exaggeration).

During the concert, fans captured footage of the former First Couple as they sang along with the music and danced with friends in their box seats. Twitter reveled in Michelle’s perfectly executed moves, while Barack—well, Barack kept it classic, showing off his world-famous “dad” moves. The videos are thoroughly delightful.

And really, this is just the kind of thing you’d expect from the post-political Obamas. After all, this was Michelle’s second On the Run II Tour concert in as many weeks, proving she might just be queen of the Beyhive fandom. In early July, she was spotted alongside Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, and her youngest daughter Sasha at the couple’s tour stop in Paris. (To say we’re a little envious is an understatement.) This time, however, it made it all the more special that Barry was at the D.C.-area concert too.

Look at these two:

I mean, it’s adorable:

And one more just for good measure.

It’s not super-surprising, however: The two couples have been friends for years, dating back to at least 2009, when Bey performed at then-President Obama’s first inauguration. She also sang the national anthem at his second inauguration event in 2013.

In 2011, Michelle and Beyoncé teamed up to help promote the then-First Lady’s “Let’s Move” campaign to help end childhood obesity in America. And in 2014, Michelle was spotted at her first Beyoncé concert in Chicago, according to CNN, to which she also brought daughters Sasha and Malia along.

Safe to say these two are fans of Bey and Jay—and we’re so happy that video documentation exists.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z Received a Standing Ovation Literally for Just Leaving a Restaurant


As if they weren’t iconic enough already, Beyoncé and Jay-Z just got a standing ovation for eating in a restaurant. That’s right—the world’s foremost power couple received a level of applause most performers can only hope for…just by gracing mere mortals with their dining presence. The glorious incident was captured on camera and published by TMZ, who reported that the two were enjoying a meal at the Aurora restaurant in Capri, Italy.

As TMZ’s footage shows, while Bey and Jay were making their way out, their fellow diners rose to their feet and clapped and cheered. The owner also got a hug from Jay-Z, TMZ reports, and as the pair exited with their entourage, they received a chorus of parting “ciaos.”

Later, as a video from Instagram account @beylite2.0 shows, the couple took a stroll through the streets of Capri while holding hands. In the video, people can be heard gasping and probably expressing the Italian equivalent of “OMG, is that Beyoncé?!”

It looks like Beyoncé and Jay-Z have stayed in Europe for a week-long vacation after wrapping up the continental leg of their On the Run II tour. After kicking things off in Cardiff in the U.K. way back in June, the couple performed their way through the U.K., the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Poland, Italy, and Spain before giving their final concert in Nice, France, on July 17. People reported on Monday that they took a yacht off the Amalfi Coast in Italy. (This would have been before their applause-worthy dinner date.) Although Blue Ivy, Rumi, and Sir are also on tour with their parents, People reported, they weren’t seen in paparazzi photos of the Carters’ boat trip.

On Wednesday, July 25, they’ll pick things up in Cleveland before embarking on the North American leg of their tour—where we can only assume they will be greeted with equally fawning crowds going, well, apesh*t.

Beyoncé Handled an On-Stage Malfunction at Her Concert This Weekend Like a Boss


Beyoncé has a history of handling on-stage mishaps like a pro. When she took a bit of a tumble with her sister, Solange, at Coachella this year, Bey just giggled and incorporated it into her choreography. Or remember when she fixed her own hair fan after a stagehand missed their beat? Beyoncé always keeps her poker face on. That’s why she’s Beyoncé.

And what happened over the weekend during an On the Run II tour stop in Poland is no exception to this. As ET reports, toward the end of Bey’s Warsaw concert with Jay Z on June 30, a flying stage started malfunctioning during their performance of “Young Forever,” leaving Bey stranded. The crew had to bring over a ladder and convince her to climb down in her thigh-high heeled boots.

Although the situation certainly looked scary, Beyoncé took it in stride, blowing kisses and dancing while fans cheered her on and chanted her name, fan videos show. After what looks like some deliberation, she ended up climbing down the ladder and heading offstage.

Saturday’s Warsaw concert was the 11th out of 18 planned stops on the European leg of the superstar couple’s On the Run II tour. On Tuesday, according to Ticketmaster, Bey and Jay are headed to Köln, Germany, and they’ll wrap up their Europe performances in Nice, France, on July 17, before beginning the North American part of the tour in Cleveland, Ohio, on July 25.

Over the course of the tour, Beyoncé has kept fans updated with pics and clips on Instagram. Along with a picture of her and Jay-Z in matching outfits onstage during their inaugural OTR II concert in Cardiff, Wales, she also uploaded a video of the massive crowd in Glasgow, Scotland, and several photos of the lacy pink outfit she wore on the plane ride there.
