Beyonce Named Honorary Chair of Met Costume Gala

Though she's often looked to for her sense of style, Beyoncé Knowles will participate in a boundary-pushing event as honorary chair of the Met Institute Costume Gala on May 6th.

Joining other celebs like Anna Wintour, Riccardo Tisci, Lauren Santo Domingo, and Rooney Mara, the Queen Bey will kick off this year's Punk: Chaos to Couture event.

Recently, the 31-year-old songstress and her rapper hubby Jay-Z caused a bit of controversy when they traveled to Cuba to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary.

With the United States' restrictions on travel to the island nation, the trip had to be fully licensed by the Treasury Department under an exception called the people-to-people cultural exchange program.
