Beyonce's red carpet dress was actually an ode to The Lion King

Last night was kind of a big deal for Beyonce. It was the European premiere of the hotly anticipate reboot of The Lion King, in which she voices Nala. She also met Meghan Markle, and the pair bonded over their children.

As such, the outfit she wore to walk the red yellow carpet had to be extra spectacular, even more so than that Gucci dress she borrowed from Lupita Nyong'o.

Safe to say she didn't disappoint, in a gold dress that is the perfect tribute to the strong lioness that is Nala.

Bey stepped out in a textured gold number by Vietnamese designer Nguyen Cong Tri that perfectly draped across her body, and featured a thigh slit so magnificent that it put Angelina Jolie's to shame.

The dress was custom-made for the singer, and so we can assume that the designer drew inspiration from the movie for it.

Beyonce let her outfit do all the talking, accessorising with minimal jewellery, just a delicate smattering of Lorraine Schwartz diamonds. Standard.
