Is Rihanna mad at Beyoncé? Probably didn't think this step through on Instagram. Beyonce in Balmain suits, Rihanna in Fenty x Puma and other fashionable looks from the Coachella festival Who dances better Beyonce or Rihanna

The past weekend was marked by two stars - Beyoncé, who demonstrated Balmain concert costumes during a two-hour performance, and Rihanna, who presented a new collaboration between her Fenty brand and the sports brand Puma.

Queen B performed in Balmain costumes

Beyoncé, or Queen B as her fans call her, has once again “made history” by becoming the first black woman to headline Coachella. In general, this significant event was supposed to happen a year ago, but pregnancy made its own adjustments, which is why the concert show had to be postponed to April 2018. The artist did not waste any time and prepared a powerful show - both from a musical and a “fashionable” point of view: in collaboration with Olivier Rousteing from Balmain, five concert costumes were created, which the singer changed during her performance. And each was an event - be it an encrusted bodysuit and cape inspired by Nefertiti, a cheerleader set with a yellow hoodie, complemented by boots with holographic fringe from Christian Louboutin, or a latex dominatrix costume with a bodice and over the knee boots. The apotheosis of the performance was the reunion with Destiny’s Child, for which Rousteing sewed three different outfits in military style, studded with rhinestones. Spectators, and along with them music experts, claim that the show at Coachella was one of the best in Beyoncé’s career and, according to professionals, concert images played an important role in this.

Rihanna presented the Fenty x Puma collection

While most festival guests admired Beyoncé's outfits, Rihanna surprised many (however, this is not news lately). For the presentation of her new collection, created in collaboration with Puma, the singer chose an acid pink swimsuit, loose-fitting sweatpants and neon heels. The image was strange, but not as strange as the following: at one of the events, the artist appeared in transparent tulle, chaotically wrapped around her body, and oversize suede boots (we already saw something similar in the collaboration between Ugg and Y / Project). This stunt has even Rihanna's most dedicated fans puzzled - what was the inspiration for it, Shar-Peis? After this, even a balaclava mixed with massive jewelry could no longer confuse anyone!

Kylie Jenner showed off a collection of wigs

Young mother Kylie Jenner decided to take a break from nipples and rompers for a while and also went to Coachella - at the age of 20, however, this is not surprising. Despite the fact that the festival is dominated by hippie chic, ethnic and bohemian 1970s, the youngest of the Kardashian clan did not change the usual sexy minimalism, demonstrating a whole collection of laconic bustier tops and tight tights. The bright accents of her images were the wigs: blue, like the grown-up Malvina, and bright pink, in the style of Japanese anime. Apparently, tired of receiving complaints from subscribers declaring that it’s not a mother’s business to flaunt around festivals in a negligee, Kylie wrote that she is “not an ordinary, but a cool mom.” I wonder if her two-month-old daughter shares this opinion?

Pregnant Cardi B in a suit - an homage to the cult group TLC

Cardi B, who music critics call the top modern rap artist right now, also performed at Coachella. Despite her pregnancy, the artist rocked out on stage for 45 minutes and even danced near a pole. Her outfit - an homage to the cult 1990s group TLC - also became a sensation: loose white trousers, a bustier top and a translucent raincoat created a real sensation, reminiscent of the “good old” times when the popular slogan Girl Power was just gaining its strength.

The performers themselves, as if nothing had happened, continue to appear together at social events and try to spend as much time as possible with their three-year-old daughter Blue Ivy.

It will be possible to lift the veil of secrecy and learn interesting details from the personal life of one of the highest paid singers of our time at the end of October, when the unofficial biography of the R’n’B diva “Becoming Beyoncé: The Untold Story” will appear on the shelves.

The author of the book was American journalist Randy Taraborrelli, who described in detail the creative path of Beyoncé - from childhood, work as part of the group Destiny's Child and conflict with her father, to her solo career, marriage and the birth of a child.

Taraborrelli did not ignore such a piquant detail in the power couple's relationship as the scandal associated with the collaboration of Jay Z and Rihanna in 2005. The journalist confirmed the information that the rumors about the affair were falsified to promote the career of the aspiring singer.

Then the press still managed to cause discord in the relationship between Beyoncé and Jay Z: it took the singer a year to understand the situation and forgive the offending gentleman. And in 2014, the conflict resumed with renewed vigor: after the Met Gala, a fight took place between Jay Z and Beyoncé’s sister Solange in the hotel elevator. According to Taraborrelli, she stood up for the singer after learning that the rapper was going to a party in the company of Rihanna.

But it seems that all the conflicts of the past are left behind. “At this point, it’s safe to say that Beyoncé and Rihanna are just good friends,” Taraborrelli commented on the divas’ relationship.

Rihanna fans did not take well to the fact that their idol did not receive nominations in the main categories of the Grammy Awards. Beyoncé got it from them and took all the prizes. It's a bit of a coincidence, Rihanna commented.

Rihanna's latest album received as many as 8 Grammy nominations, but the singer was missed out in two major categories - record of the year and song of the year. Beyonce was also among the nominees, with a chance to compete even for a prize in the category... rock. According to Rihanna's fans, their idol was infringed, and Beyoncé is considered the culprit. In particular, the organizers did not want anyone to interfere with winning and overshadow Beyoncé. A comment appeared on Instagram:

“Someone here probably didn’t want Riri to get as many nominations as ANYONE,” one fan wrote on Instagram, along with a photo.

The storm erupted when fans circled that the post was "liked" by Rihanna herself. Rumors immediately appeared in MI about a conflict between the singers. Beyonce's fans decided not to stand up and bombarded Rihanna's Instagram with icons of bees and lemons.

Rihanna quickly decided to put an end to such speculation, explaining that she liked the post because she liked her photo:

I didn’t read the caption, I thought the photo was wonderful and immediately liked it. It's really unnecessary. I want you all to forget about this matter and look at the problem a little more broadly. There is no need to pit two black women against each other. We deserve to be appreciated, and it's all about the Grammy Academy.

Jay Randy Taraborrelli's book, Beyoncé: The Untold Story, will be available soon. This is an unofficial biography of the singer, who has already managed to make a lot of noise among her fans. In particular, the author claims that Beyoncé and her husband Jay Z separated from each other for a year because of the musician’s infidelity with Rihanna.

In 2005, when Jay Z became the producer of 17-year-old Rihanna, rumors appeared in the press that he was having an affair with the young singer. This rumor was deliberately started by the musician’s publicist to draw attention to the promising Rihanna. By that time, Beyoncé had been in a close relationship with Jay for five years. And, not knowing how to react to this provocative PR move, the star flared up and decided to break off relations with her lover, who later, in 2008, nevertheless became her husband. And in 2012, he became the father of their daughter Blue Ivy. By the way, now Beyoncé and Rihanna are good friends.

The book also reveals that Queen B is very demanding of all her servants. Especially to those people who help her with her daughter. According to the author of the biography, Blue Ivy has three nannies. They work in shifts, but each of them must be available at all times. All nannies must adhere to a strict schedule and, as part of their contract, follow Beyoncé's own Blue Ivy Daily Supervision Program. The singer does not forgive even the slightest offenses.

However, this week we had the opportunity to see that Queen B is strict with her assistants. A video has appeared on the Internet that shows how Beyoncé treats her assistant. On Tuesday, at one of the events, the star appeared on the red carpet in a very revealing outfit. At some point, the strap of the dress slid to the side, intending to free the singer's bare chest. Her assistant ran up to her to prevent embarrassment. Beyoncé, without removing the wide smile from her face, angrily hissed to her assistant through her teeth: “Stop it and get out.” The frightened assistant quickly retreated.
