Beyoncé has made her grand return to the Met Gala red carpet,for the first time in 10 years.
Tonight, the musical superstar and pop culture icon is serving as one of thecelebrity co-chairs, her first time filling the esteemed role, after acting as an honorary chair back in 2013.
This year, the theme for the coinciding Met exhibition is “Costume Art,” with the presentation dedicated to “the inherent relationship between clothing and the body.” Never one to dress down, Beyoncé embraced the theme (and the dress code, which is “Fashion Is Art”) by arriving in a sparkling silver ensemble, designed by Olivier Rousteing, that resembled a skeleton.
She paired the see-through design with a matching crown-like headpiece, while draping her body in an ombré feather cape that cascaded down the stairs behind her.

All eyes were certainly on the “Texas Hold ’Em” singer as she made her long-awaited return to the Met Gala, and for the special moment, she was joined by her husband, Jay-Z, and their eldest daughter, Blue Ivy. For his part, Jay wore a black tuxedo, while Blue Ivy wore a cream bubble dress with a matching coat and silver heels to round things out.
From 2012 to 2016, Beyoncé attended the Met Gala every year, wearing Givenchy Haute Couture for each occasion. Before taking a break from the fashion event, her last look was a nude latex dress embellished with pearls and a subtle floral print.
Prior to that, the Grammy winner had only attended the fashion fundraiser a couple of times, first in 2008, wearing a strapless blush Armani Privé dress, and then again in 2011, in a black Emilio Pucci mermaid gown adorned with intricate gold embroidery.
Suffice it to say, she’s been sorely missed.
