The Fenty Beauty mogul added extra sparkle courtesy of three large diamond rings and an ear stack, featuring matching hoops and Briony Raymond and Dyne ear cuffs. Even her glam was iridescent, as she topped off the look with spiral-shaped gold hair accessories and sparkly face gems.
Her partner A$AP Rocky accompanied her, clad in a pink Chanel smoking jacket with matching diamond earrings. The star’s often one of the last arrivals and has been the most anticipated arrival on the Met steps for over a decade — even when she doesn’t show up..She more than made up for it last year, revealing her third pregnancy in a Marc Jacobs pinstriped suit with a bump-hugging bustier, sculptural bustle and polka-dotted cravat
Beyonce’ Shut Down The Red Carpet At The Met Gala With Jay Z And Blue Ivy. The star shut down the Met Gala 2026 red carpet on Monday, marking her first time at the star-studded soirée in 10 years. The “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer — who’s serving as one of the ball’s co-chairs this year alongside Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Vogue’s Anna Wintour — looked incredible in a dazzling, skeleton-inspired gown complete with matching bone-adorned gloves.
The “Formation” singer added extra sparkle to her look with diamond earrings and a bejeweled headpiece, in addition to layering with a furry ombré coat featuring a long train. Her look was right in line with the theme of this year’s exhibition: “Costume Art,” which explores the connection behind clothing and the human body. She attended alongside Jay-Z, who wore Louis Vuitton, and their 14-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy. which makes her one of the youngest Met Gala attendees ever.

“When I Fell In Love,
I Never Expected…”

Clay: “To walk down the aisle after knowing her for only three weeks.” Laird: “That she would turn out to be such a loser.” Crystal: “That there would be so much deceitfulness, disloyalty, agony, and lies.” Edward: “That things would change so drastically, and that my life would change.

Hopefully, their very candid answers will provide some insight and shine a light on all the speculation that usually goes on when someone disappears from a relationship. MORE

SingleScenes

Q. In the last three months, I met two guys in a row and my best friend met three, All five were fine, intelligent, and perplexing. The guys we meet either lie about what they’re doing, scheme to keep you from finding out, or behave like imbeciles at any gesture of affection. I want to know if you have any suggestions we can use to save ourselves from the pain and anguish that we often encounter in an attempt to cultivate a decent relationship with a guy who appeals to us?

Chad: “I feel guilty about a relationship I got involved in where I knew the woman was too nice for what I had in mind. She was hoping for marriage or at best a serious relationship and all I wanted was fun and sex. I felt really bad when I learned she had suffered a nervous breakdown when I stopped seeing her. I will never again fool with a woman who’s more serious about the relationship than I am. MORE

Anger Alert! Violence
On The Dating Scene
by Coco Diong
FACT #1: Singles (men and women) often suffer silently in abusive relationships and no one talks about it. I discovered this when I recently attended a singles women’s conference and one of the speakers called for those in the room who had suffered physical abuse in non-marital relationships to stand. I was shocked when at least half of the women in the room stood, including my friend who was sitting next to me. (There were over 300 women in attendance) It turned out that she had been in an abusive relationship for over two years and was too embarrassed to tell anyone. MORE
