Beyonce brought along Jay-Z for last night’s Met Gala, and as it turns out, Beyonce needed all the support she could get. This too-tight, nipple-grazing (I don’t even know how to describe it) Emilio Pucci dress was not a fashion “win” for Beyonce, considering that she couldn’t even get up the stairs (according to sources). Also, according to The Cut (via ONTD), Beyonce and Jay were BOOED because they didn’t pose for photos for long enough, although that story seems apocryphal considering every photo agency got decent shots of them. Apparently, they only posed for a few seconds and then trotted away from photographers, only to be waylaid by her mortal enemy, stairs.
As for the Pucci dress… meh. I think it’s tacky-looking. I’m not a gold-on-black (vinyl?) hater in general, but put all of the elements of this dress together, and it’s a catastrophe. The nipple-grazing, the too-tight bodice, the mermaid skirt… all of it just ridic.
Jay looks alright though. But I like a man in a white dinner jacket.

I think it’s sequins, not vinyl, and I would LOVE this, if she had only gotten rid of the fishtail. I think that tulle just looks like a total afterthought. If it was a clean, figure hugging silhouette I’d be ALL OVER the bitch.
And – she did have issues with the stairs. Lainey has photos on her site.

It’s a sad, sad day when Pucci is mistaken for House of Dereon.

Horrid, horrid dress. And if you are going to be so processed Beyonce, then touch up the ol’ roots and put on some more dramatic eye make-up.

Brassy! I totally agree. I was just going to post “Oh gawd she is letting her Mamma dress her again!”
IMO she is sporting either a “DAYUM I LOOK GOOD” grin or a “WHYYYYYYYYYYYY did I wear this!!” grin.

She could not even walk up the stairs without help from two people. Was she able to even sit down? That thing is dreadful!!

I know she goes for all the glitz and glamour and can usually pull it off, but this is too much even for Beyonce.

I think I hate it. She’s such a beautiful woman but never looks well put together, and everything is always too tight, too flashy, etc.

Why does she love the fishtail skirts? They are ridiculous and make her walk and pose like a robot with stiff little robot arms. And I am not feeling the Plymouth Brethren hairstyle.
Damn B, you are almost making me take you off the freebies list. Tsk tsk.

What’s wrong with her eyes…? They’re scary, as of late.
Bad dress and bad hair!

She looks like a madam at an 1890′s whorehouse.
Isn’t there usually a theme at the Met Gala that is supposed to tweak the imaginations of the attendees regarding what they wear?
Whatever the theme was this year, it produced some terrible results!

Looks much less like Pucci and more like a creation from The House of Dereon.

So I guess it’s not just the ugly stuff her mother makes her wear from the Trailer Park of Dereon, but Beyonce truly has ghastly taste. On first glance I thought, “Uh-oh, wardrobe malfunction”, and wondered how do you spell, giant, odd shaped, ‘areola’?
I loved that we were given two choices- ridiculous or meh. neither good!

Oh, Lordy. This dress is wrong in every single way possible. Every. Single. Way. At least the lace on her boobs gave me a laugh – it makes them look like they’re tattooed.

Is anyone else just totally, totally bored with the mermaid/fishtail dress thing? Can we let it die for at least a few years?
Yeah, my first thought was this was her mother’s bizarre, trashy creation. Huh.

All I can think of is, her poor, poor tittays. They must hurt so much, squashed down like that.

Uh, NO. Why would you wear a dress that you can’t even walk/sit/stand in? She looks like she’s about to pop out of that can of sardines. And the hair? You’re a multi-millionaire and you can’t afford to get your roots done?

Did anyone else think that the appliqués / print of the dress in the hip area look like they are meant to illustrate the female reproductive anatomy?! All I can see are fallopian tubes leading to the uterus!
Maybe this is a Pucci fertility dress and Beyonce was subliminally attracted to for that reason. Otherwise, have no idea why she is wearing this.

This dress makes me laugh. A lot. Like, I saw the first picture and went “She was kidding, right? She let the photogs take pictures of her being carried up the stairs and she was laughing her ass off the whole time, right? Then she went into the ladies room and changed into something beautiful, right? RIGHT?”

@ azurea: Yes she does!
@ mia girl: YES! That was all I could see as well – it’s like an anatomical diagram on the outside of the dress. And in the 2nd picture, it looks like Jay-Z likes that!
Beyonce is so overrated in every possible way that she could be, and has obviously inherited bad taste from her mother. This creation is flat-out HIDEOUS, not to mention tacky, and should not have the venerable name of Pucci anywhere near it.

Her dress was so tight, I understand why she didn’t walk around taking photos.
Jay-Z looks FUG as always. She doesn’t look like trailer trash barbie like she has been lately, so I would say it’s a win of sorts.

She was sewn into that dress? Correct?
I figured it was a House of D creation. She looks horrible.

Wrong on so many levels it gives me a headache to look at it. Could she even breathe in that outfit? And I agree, I do not like white dinner jackets. My, oh my, the things people put on their bodies and call clothing when it more appropriately should be called torture-chamber-duds! Yuk!!!

ridiculous *AND* meh!
i’d call her a fashion victim, but that isn’t fashion and she’s not a victim if she chose that stupid dress.
ps. why are her gums the same color as her face? from the neck up she’s just teeth, brown eyes, and roots. simply awful.

I would’ve liked it a lot more if she looked as though she could actually breathe (Like she had to take a huge breath before waddling down the carpet).
There was no reason it needed to be THAT tight…It makes it look like her breasts are about to explode out of it. (I thought it was a nip-slip at first…)
Girlfriend has a bangin‘ body, but she’s not very good at showing it off in a ‘classy’ way.

It is sequins not vinyl so points for that… I think it could work minus the poufy tulle bottom and the cut out cleavage reveal.
Picture it will the boob area filled in, and a straight line to the bottom. It would still be a dramatic dress, but striking rather than silly.

@LondonParis: ImNotObsessed does that too.
It looks like her boobs in their fight for air tore right through the bodice. It might’ve been a perfectly fine Pucci dress before Dereon puked all over it.

HORRIBLE DRESS! This must be from the “House of Diarrhea” line!!!! HORRIBLE HAIR too! The only thing that worked was her fresh face a light make up because she does have a great face, but I MUST give this look a FAIL for looking extra tacky, cheap and ridiculous!

She looks like a saloon girl from a 1960′s spaghetti western! Maybe she thought it was a costume party? I would have broke out laughing at her instead of booing! No one should be surprised, though. This dumb kid proved long ago that she hasn’t got 1 micron of taste.
