PHOTOS Beyonce steals the show at 2015 Met Gala by going pretty much nude with some jewels

Beyonce may have been more than an hour late to the 2015 Met Gala, but for those photographers that stuck around, she made it well worth the wait by sporting a VERY revealing shear Givenchy dress with some very strategically placed multicolor crystals and stones.

Here she is ascending the red carpeted stairs magically pulling off the seemingly oxymoronic combo of great ass AND badass:

Actually, Beyonce managed to steal the show before she even arrived as she shared numerous photos of her look, which also included a towering I Dream of Jeannie high ponytail and makeup perfection by artist Sir John, on Instagram and Facebook:

Beyonce paired the dress, custom made by Riccardo Tiscim, with a pair of suede leather platform sandals. (Or so we’ve been told. They’re kind of hard to spot under there!)

Here are some more shots of Beyonce that she herself must have really liked because she posted them on her own Instagram:

And we’ll wrap up this post with a zoomed-in show of Beyonce’s bejeweled chest, also courtesy of the singer’s Instagram:
