Nicole Kidman and Beyoncé, both serving as co-chairs for this year's Met Gala, appeared to have breached a longstanding event protocol by bringing their teenage daughters onto the red carpet. The Met Gala has previously made clear that individuals under the age of 18 are not allowed to attend, with organisers stating it is “not an appropriate event” for minors.
Nicole Kidman and Sunday Rose
Kidman attended the gala with her 17-year-old daughter, Sunday Rose, who was dressed in a Dior baby-pink set. The actress expressed joy at sharing the high-profile event with her child, describing the experience as unique and memorable.
Beyoncé and Blue Ivy
Beyoncé made her return to the Met Gala after a decade-long absence, accompanied by her 14-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, who wore a white Balenciaga gown. Beyoncé called the moment 'surreal' and 'incredible,' emphasising how special it was to share the evening with Blue Ivy.
The Event and Its Dress Code
The annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute followed a 'Fashion is Art' dress code, inspired by the 'Costume Art' exhibition that explores depictions of the dressed body. Despite the strict age policy, both mothers defied the rule, making headlines with their daughters' debut at the glamorous event.
