Beyonce and her daughter Ivy Blue went all out on Saturday for this year’s Wearable Art Gala in Santa Monica.

The theme of the bash this time was ‘A Journey to the Pride Lands,’ and Beyonce and seven-year-old Blue certainly nailed their costumes.

The 37-year-old musical icon slayed in a golden ensemble with a lion face on the chest and feathers that acted as the lion’s mane while Blue Ivy donned a yellow dress with traditional African bead work in an incredible homage to Disney’s The Lion King.

She also sported a chic pair of kitten heels and gorgeous gold earrings.

The event was thrown by Where Art Can Occur (WACO), an organization founded by Beyonce’s mother Tina Lawson and stepfather Richard Lawson.   

‘Wearable art has to be over-the-top,’ Tina told the Los Angeles Times, continuing, ‘It can’t just be a dress with a little necklace. You’ve gotta really go there with it!’ 

Also in attendance were former Destiny’s Child bandmates Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland, Girl’s Trip star Tiffany Haddish and former co-host of The View Star Jones.   

Tina, who shares Beyonce with her ex-husband Matthew Knowles, was a feathery sensation in a floor-length gown.
