Beyonce Knowles appears in the audience before accepting the award for best rap song for "Savage" at the 63rd annual Grammy Awards at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Chris Pizzello/AP/ShutterstockBeyoncé is on a red streak! The 28-time Grammy award winner shared some Valentine’s Day looks to her Instagram page on Monday (Feb. 21), with a variety of glam outfits and elevated athleisure staples from her own Ivy Park collection.
The “Spirit” singer’s first look consists of a red turtleneck sweater with heart cutout detail on the back and PVC pants, completing the look with matching heels and a cherry shaped purse. The second look — which the former Destiny’s Child member wore on a private jet — shows the star in a red pullover hoodie and matching jogger pants, while the third look sees the singer in a hot pink bodycon dress with the signature Adidas stripes. All pieces are from Beyoncé’s recent Valentine’s Day themed Ivy Park x Adidas collection, which is appropriately titled Ivy Heart.
In an interview with Vogue China about the collection, Beyoncé explained that she wanted the clothing in the new series to empower anyone who wear it. “We all have that one outfit that instantly makes us feel powerful, sexy, confident and loved. We recognize that visceral feeling immediately,” she said. “With Ivy Heart I wanted to create a collection that makes everyone feel the joy of looking in the mirror and celebrate self-love. We used vibrant reds, pinks and neutrals with red as the dominant color. Red has always meant joy, sensuality and love to me.”
Though the singer has been putting an emphasis on her fashion endeavors, she is still working on a follow-up to 2020’s The Lion King: The Gift. In her September 2021 cover story with Harper’s Bazaar, Beyoncé insisted “Yes, the music is coming!” when asked for an update.

A$AP Rocky has revealed that it took years of persistence before Tim Burton agreed to create the cover artwork for his upcoming album, Don’t Be Dumb. The rapper reflected on how the unlikely collaboration finally came together during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday.
Going into detail about the process, Rocky confessed that he “basically had to stalk and harass him for a few years” before things clicked. He explained, “I reached out and told him I would love to hang out, play him some vibes and just connect. I ended up going to Malibu while he was on a break, and he was feeling it. I played him an early version of the album and he really liked it. That’s when I asked, ‘Do you think you might want to do the illustration for this?’ He was open to it, but then suddenly he had Wednesday and Beetlejuice 2 going on. I realized this was going to take a lot longer than I thought.”
A$AP Rocky went on to describe a moment that really stuck with him during that visit. “While I was there, I noticed a sketch sitting on the table and asked if he drew it,” he said. “He told me that every morning he and his daughter work on drawings together. He starts one, then she comes in and finishes it or changes it. It’s something they practice daily. I saw it as their bond, and to me, that felt priceless.”
On Tuesday, A$AP Rocky also released a double music video for his tracks “WHISKEY” and “BLACK DEMARCO.” Tim Burton appears in the visual and contributed multiple illustrations that tie into the project.
Alongside the release of the “WHISKEY” and “BLACK DEMARCO” video, Rocky officially unveiled the Don’t Be Dumb World Tour. The run will include 42 dates across North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom, with shows scheduled throughout 2026.
