Bey Bending Met Rules

Share

At the Met Gala, this year’s “Costume Art” theme brought high fashion and a bit of rule-bending into focus as celebrities arrived with family members in tow.
Traditionally known as an 18-and-over event, the unofficial rule was quietly bent when co-chairs and VIP guests brought younger relatives.
Nicole Kidman attended with her 17-year-old daughter, Sunday Rose, while Beyoncé arrived alongside her 14-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, making it a standout family moment on the iconic steps.
Sunday Rose made her debut in a pink floral look symbolising “something blooming,” while Beyoncé delivered her usual show-stopping presence in a crystal skeleton gown and later changed into a black-and-gold ensemble during the event.
The appearances sparked online conversations about the gala’s evolving guest rules, with what was once a strict age limit now more of a guideline, especially for co-chairs and major invitees.
