Another year, another Beyoncé-less Met Gala :(. At this point, you’d think we’d all just give up hope that Queen Bey will grace us all with her presence, but nope! For the now seventh (!!!!) year in a row, we have prayed to the Met Gala gods for another iconic fashion moment from Bey, and here we are, disappointed and downtrodden. I am NOT being dramatic! To repeat: Weve been deprived of a Bey moment for almost a decade (not really but kinda!) and our thirst remains once again. Sigh.
Bey was last at the Met Gala in 2016, when she showed up in a latex dress by Givenchy for the “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology” theme:
A few more of her more recent Met Gala looks? Bey showed up the year before for “China: Through The Looking Glass,” also in Givenchy:
And wore—yep, you guessed it—Givenchy again for “Charles James: Beyond Fashion” in 2014:
The Daily Mail reported that Bey and husband Jay-Z were vacationing over the weekend in a private island near Miami. Plus, Beyoncé is currently preparing for her Renaissance Tour, which kicks off just a few days after the Met Gala on May 10 in Stockholm. So I get it. According to Billboard, the tour is on track to become her highest grossing ever. See you there!
