Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba! We have more than a month to go until we hear Beyoncé’s sweet voice say things like “pinned ya again!” and “I’m kinda in the middle of a bath” as Nala in Disney’s live-action The Lion King (or, you know, sing “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” with Donald Glover), but fashion doesn’t need any damn premiere date. Attending the annual Wearable Art Gala with her daughter Blue Ivy over the weekend, Bey donned the most glamorous gown-jumpsuit we’ve probably ever seen, channeling her inner lioness with the help of a sparkly bodice and a train of taffeta. Blue also got in on the matching lion cub fun with a cute dress and headpiece, although their Simba was MIA. Still — these photos!
