Beyoncé returned to the Met Gala red carpet with her daughter, Blue Ivy, who made history on her debut appearance.
On Monday, 4 May 2026, the Drunk in Love musician, who stepped away from fashion’s biggest night for a decade, made a memorable return with her husband, Jay-Z and daughter, Blue Ivy, in tow.
When she last graced the Met Gala red carpet in 2016, Beyoncé wore a memorable pearl-embellished latex Givenchy gown.
Her return at the 2026 Met Gala was also unforgettable because she didn't just walk the carpet; she also served as a co-chair for the evening alongside Anna Wintour, Australian actress Nicole Kidman, and tennis legend Venus Williams.

Queen Bey brought the 2026 Met Gala's "Costume Art" theme to life in a sheer, skeleton-inspired gown designed by Olivier Rousteing.
The diamond-encrusted dress was styled with matching bone-adorned gloves, diamond earrings, and a dazzling headpiece. She completed her look by draping herself in a furry grey ombré coat.
Blue Ivy makes Met Gala history on star-studded debut with Beyoncé
On the other hand, her 14-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, completely held her own next to her famous mother.
On her debut, Blue Ivy wore a white gown with a matching bomber-style jacket, dark sunglasses, and sparkling, Cinderella-like high heels, all designed by Pierpaolo Piccioli for Balenciaga.
Her husband and hip-hop mogul Jay-Z looked dapper in a Louis Vuitton suit.
Blue Ivy’s appearance at the Met Gala 2026 wasn’t just a fun family outing; it was culturally significant.
The Met Gala has a famously strict 18 age restriction, meaning Beyoncé, as co-chair, defied a major rule by having her daughter there. As a result, Blue Ivy became the youngest person to attend the Met Gala.
