For the premiere of the upcoming remake of Disney’s The Lion King in Los Angeles, superstar Beyoncé Knowles showed up on the red carpet in a stunning Alexander McQueen outfit. Knowles brought along her fashion-loving daughter Blue Ivy, who wore a matching look from the British label.

The singer paired her bespoke tuxedo dress featuring a crystal-embroidered skirt with dazzling jewellery and sandals while Blue Ivy accessorised her mini version of the outfit with sparkling hair adornments and floral-shaped earrings.

The computer-animated film stars the voice of Knowles as Nala, Simba’s childhood friend and future love interest. Knowles also produced the soundtrack of the film.
