Beyoncé returned to the Met Gala for the first time in ten years, making a memorable red carpet appearance alongside her daughter Blue Ivy Carter and husband Jay-Z. The pop superstar wore a striking Balmain ensemble featuring a diamond-embellished skeleton design complemented by a sunburst headpiece, while 14-year-old Blue Ivy showcased elegance in a white gown with diamonds, a cropped jacket, and cat-eye sunglasses. Jay-Z completed the family trio in a classic black tuxedo. As part of the event’s VIP co-chairs, Beyoncé joined Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour in hosting duties, emphasizing the gala's theme, “Fashion Is Art,” aligned with the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, “Costume Art.” Beyoncé described the experience as “surreal,” highlighting the unique opportunity to attend the event alongside her daughter.
