Beyonce Shines in Givenchy Haute Couture at the 2012 MET Ball

Every now and then at red carpet events, there is a moment that stands out more than the others. The kind of moment that feels historical as it happens, and quickly becomes just that. New mom Beyonce hit the red carpet last night for the annual Met Ball,  dressed in a gorgeous semi-sheer black and violet dress crafted by Givenchy Haute Couture. First, the dress. With intricately placed black beaded detail which fits perfectly around the outline of the body, feather-light sheer  black chiffon and that amazing purple feathering on the train, Beyonce’s dress is flawlessly crafted with amazing attention to detail.

She wore a neat nude bodysuit underneath the dress to avoid any wardrobe malfunctions, and you can barely tell it’s there which adds to the seductive, daring nature of this look. She completed the ensemble with a bright yet flattering coral lipstick,  natural makeup and a sleek simple ponytail. Beyonce has never looked better, and this dress just freezes time – it is awe-inspiring in its design, and Beyonce is the perfect person to wear it – it matches her personality beautifully. An unbeatable combination that we won’t be forgetting any time soon – a truly elegant red carpet moment.
