We still haven’t quite gathered ourselves from Beyoncé and Blue Ivy’s stunning custom Alexander McQueen looks for the Hollywood Lion King premiere, but what does that matter to Queen Bey? The Homecoming performer graced the London Lion King red carpet in a custom yellow gown by Vietnamese-based designer Nguyen Cong Tri. Tri is the first Vietnamese designer to launch a dedicated couture house, as well as the first to showcase a collection at New York Fashion Week. Beyoncé’s look was accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, Jimmy Choo heels and an Anna Cecere clutch.

While attending the premiere with her husband Jay-Z, the couple ran into Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry. The two couples shared kind words in what would later end up becoming a major viral moment.

Beyoncé will be voicing the role of Nala in the upcoming Lion King release, which is set to hit theaters this Friday, July 19th.
