Beyoncé Returns to Met Gala with Family After 10 Years

Beyoncé returned to the Met Gala on May 4, 2026, after a ten-year absence, co-chairing the prestigious event alongside Nicole Kidman. The Met Gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serves as an annual fundraiser for the Costume Institute, with a theme centered on fashion art.

Beyoncé walked the red carpet with her husband, Jay-Z, and their daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, who made her debut at the event. In a video interview shared via Instagram, Beyoncé expressed the emotional significance of attending the gala with her daughter, describing the experience as surreal.

She wore a stunning custom creation by Balmain's Olivier Rousteing, featuring a nude mesh base adorned with a diamond skeleton design, complemented by matching gloves. The event sparked excitement among fans as it marked a new chapter following the "Cowboi Carter" era.

Other notable attendees included Nicole Kidman and Rihanna, who also made a memorable appearance.
