Beyoncé made a striking return to the Met Gala after a decade, attending on May 4, 2026, alongside her husband Jay-Z and their 14-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter, marking Blue’s Met Gala debut.

The event’s theme was “Costume Art,” with the dress code emphasizing “fashion is art.” Beyoncé stunned in a crystal-studded silver gown by Olivier Rousteing, complemented by a matching headpiece and a feathered cape.
Speaking on the red carpet, Beyoncé expressed her feelings of surrealism about attending with her daughter, remarking on Blue’s beauty and the joy of sharing the experience with her.

Jay-Z dressed in a classic Louis Vuitton tuxedo, while Blue Ivy wore a white Balenciaga dress featuring a bubble hemline and glittery shoes, embodying a chic aesthetic that resonated with the event’s theme.
This gala marked Beyoncé’s eighth appearance since debuting in 2008, previously attending events in 2011-2016. She co-chaired this year’s gala alongside Anna Wintour, Nicole Kidman, and Venus Williams.
