The strict Met Gala protocol that Nicole Kidman and Beyoncé both defied

  • Nicole Kidman and Beyoncé, both co-chairs of this year's Met Gala, appeared to defy a longstanding event protocol by bringing their teenage daughters to the red carpet.
  • The Met Gala has previously confirmed that individuals under 18 years old are not permitted to attend, with organisers stating it is “not an appropriate event” for minors.
  • Kidman attended with her 17-year-old daughter, Sunday Rose, who wore a Dior baby-pink set, while Beyoncé made her return to the event after a decade, accompanied by her 14-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, dressed in a white Balenciaga gown.
  • Both mothers expressed joy and the unique experience of sharing the high-profile event with their children, with Beyoncé describing it as 'surreal' and 'incredible' to share with Blue Ivy.
