Nicole Kidman<\/a> and Beyonc\u00e9 appeared to defy a longstanding protocol at the Met Gala <\/a>by bringing their respective teenage daughters to the red carpet<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In 2018, Vogue confirmed that under-18s weren\u2019t allowed to attend the fashion extravaganza, after 15-year-old Maddie Ziegler told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> she wasn\u2019t \u201cold enough\u201d to go. Met Gala organizers told the outlet that \u201cit\u2019s not an appropriate event for people under 18.\u201d <\/p>\n

However, Met Gala <\/a>co-chairs Beyonc\u00e9 and Kidman were the exceptions to the rule last night. The Moulin Rouge! star walked the blue carpet in a deep cherry red gown with a feathered hip trim by Chanel, while holding hands with her 17-year-old daughter, Sunday Rose, whom she shares with ex-husband Keith Urban. <\/p>\n

At the event, where the dress code this year was \u201cFashion is Art,\u201d Sunday wore a Dior baby-pink set \u2014 featuring a strapless bubble top and a sheer maxi skirt \u2014 embroidered with purple and blue flowers. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Beyonc\u00e9, who returned to the Met Gala for the first time<\/a> in a decade, stole the show in a custom diamante skeleton-style bustier dress by Olivier Rousteing, complete with a sweeping feathered train and a crystal headpiece. <\/p>\n

Along with her husband Jay-Z, the \u201cHalo\u201d singer posed on the red carpet<\/a> with her 14-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy. For her Met Gala debut, the teenager wore a white strapless Balenciaga gown with a billowing skirt and train, alongside an unzipped jacket, black sunglasses, and silver stilettos.<\/p>\n

The Independent has contacted the Metropolitan Museum of Art for comment. <\/p>\n

Speaking to red carpet host La La Anthony, Beyonc\u00e9 said that her return to the Met Gala felt \u201csurreal\u201d because her daughter was there. \u201cShe looks so beautiful. It’s incredible to be able to share it with her, and I think she looks incredible,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kidman shared the realities of having her daughter at the Met Gala, telling Anthony, \u201cShe’s been so calm through the whole thing. She has to go to school tomorrow morning by 8 a.m. Keeping it real.\u201d<\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s annual star-studded fundraiser for the museum\u2019s Costume Institute was inspired by \u201cCostume Art,\u201d<\/a> the Met\u2019s blockbuster Spring exhibition<\/a>, which explores depictions of the dressed body through a series of thematic body types: \u201cthe naked body,\u201d \u201cclassic body,\u201d \u201cpregnant body\u201d and \u201cageing body.\u201d Guests were instructed to \u201ccelebrate the countless depictions of the dressed body throughout art history\u201d on the red carpet.<\/p>\n

Many celebrities hit the mark with this year\u2019s theme<\/a>, including Rihanna, who chose a hand-sculpted draped column silhouette inspired by medieval architecture. Heidi Klum dressed as an actual Greek sculpture, a look that enveloped her entire body and face, while Kim Kardashian channeled an armour-inspired outfit with a burnt orange breastplate featuring pointed breasts. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":567581,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[187962,184836,188169,71525,6491,194471,6494,194468,24508,187967,96,187971,709,184366,194473,187966,185934,194477,187974,194466,3873,805,6487,184839,187972,194478,194470,194474,194475,194476,194469,194467,194472,56,54,55,659,83596],"class_list":["post-567580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-annual-event","tag-arrival","tag-art-museum","tag-arts-culture-and-entertainment","tag-celebrities","tag-chanel-designer-label","tag-color-image","tag-costume-art-met-gala","tag-daughter","tag-dress","tag-entertainment","tag-evening-gown","tag-fashion","tag-females","tag-floor-length","tag-formalwear","tag-gala","tag-long-dress","tag-long-sleeved","tag-metropolitan-museum-of-art-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city","tag-nicole-kidman","tag-photography","tag-red-carpet-event","tag-sleeved-dress","tag-sleeveless","tag-sleeveless-dress","tag-strapless","tag-strapless-dress","tag-strapless-evening-gown","tag-sunday-rose-urban","tag-the-costume-institute","tag-train-clothing-embellishment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-usa","tag-vertical"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/567580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=567580"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/567580\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/567581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=567580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=567580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=567580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
