The Met Gala may be crowded wall-to-wall with A-listers and wannabes, but this year’s event had one big draw card that out-celebritied them all: Beyoncé. The Cowboy Carter singer, 44, last went to the Met 10 years ago.
Back in 2016 the theme was Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology theme, but fast forward a decade and this year’s theme is Fashion is Art.
Wearing a bejewelled skeleton gown curated by French designer Olivier Rousteing, Beyonce made a grand entrance alongside her eldest daughter, Blue Ivy, and husband Jay-Z.
The Lemonade singer is one of this year’s co-chairs of the event, alongside former Vogue editor Dame Anna Wintour, actress Nicole Kidman and tennis champion Venus Williams.
Speaking to Vogue, Beyoncé was delighted that 14-year-old Blue Ivy was with her, telling the publication: “It feels surreal, because my daughter’s here… She looks so beautiful. It’s incredible to be able to share it with her and I think she looks so incredible.”
Asked what she was most looking forward to, she said: “I think it’s really just experiencing this through the eyes of Blue and being able to relax. And I think for me, I’m wearing Olivier Rousteing, who is someone that’s been so loyal to me, and I’ve done so many incredible, iconic looks with him. So it’s really about representing him…”.
She wasn’t the only proud mum as Kidman’s daughter Sunday Rose, who is 17, joined her famous mother at the event.
Given that the Met Gala has a strict rule about attendees being 18 years or older, reports speculated that ‘an exception’ may have been made given that Kidman and Beyoncé are co-chairs.
They weren’t the only families out in full force as Kim Kardashian, in a tangerine fibreglass breastplate by British pop artist and sculptor Allen Jones, was there with sisters Kylie and Kendall, who wore a custom GapStudio creation by Zac Posen.
