Jay Z and Beyoncé - Think of it as the Super Bowl of the fashion world. On May 5, our favorite style stars hit the red carpet at the 2014 Met Costume Institute Gala in New York City. This year's theme honored designer Charles James, known as the "great American couturier." See Beyoncé, Lupita, Rihanna and more stars from fashion’s biggest night. Queen Bey is ever so regal in her plunging mesh gown, matching headpiece and loads of Lorraine Schwartz jewels. As for her hubby, he’s rocking a crisp white Tom Ford tux jacket, of course.
