#Beyoncé at the Met Gala: #Fashion's Biggest Night Has Become Her Annual State of the Union Address

Beyoncé started attending the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art just like anybody else.

Well, not just like anybody else. She's Beyoncé after all.

But back when she went to her first Met Gala, in 2008, it was just another appearance, albeit a primo A-list, black-tie, super-fabulous outing, the Anna Wintour-chaired event attracting the crème de le crème of the fashion and entertainment world to the Met year after year.

Beyoncé showed up, she took pictures, she partied, she went home.

But since then, the annual gala has turned into a Beyoncé touchstone, the innocuously timed event somehow coinciding for the last few years with major moments in Beystory (you know, history, but with Bey).
And the whole history of her attendance at the Met Gala also happens to coincide with the duration of her marriage—and whether that marriage will continue to endure couldn't be a hotter topic of conversation as we are, once again, just hours away from another Met Gala.
