Beyonce has been compared to the “Holy Ghost” after she dropped out of attending this year’s Met Gala.
The Crazy in Love singer, 36, sparked a flurry of hilarious memes as fans joked she was at the religious-themed bash in 'spirit'.
Beyoncé had reportedly planned to attend in a custom outfit by Peter Dundas, according to Entertainment Tonight, but pulled out after husband Jay-Z decided to whisk her away on holiday,
“Jay Z surprised her with a trip because he felt she needed to relax before her tour,” a source told the publication.
Fans tweeted pictures of shadows on the red carpet and joked that Beyoncé was “killing it”.
Others were disappointed at her no-show, with many claiming this year's Heavenly Bodies theme was created for the singer who wore a gold angel inspired gown and headdress at the 2017 Grammy Awards.
One fan tweeted: “This year’s theme for the #MetGala was literally made for Beyoncé,,,like she is a heavenly body so she needs to come and serve us heavenly body, heavenly hair, heavenly looks and shake the heavenly table!!! AMEN.”
