BEYONCE has outdone Kim Kardashian’s and Jennifer Lopez’s barely-there looks, wearing a dramatic see-through dress to the Met Gala today.

Leaving very little to the imagination, Queen Bey sported a floor-length Givenchy gown that was completely sheer apart from strategically-placed embellishments.

She teamed the racy gown with quite possibly the world’s highest ponytail and completed the look with winged eyeliner.

Beyonce, 33, completely overshadowed Kardashian’s and JLo’s attempts at naked dresses — they bared their most famous assets in daring designs that featured as much flesh as fabric.

The annual Met Ball, officially known as the Costume Institute Gala, is the most glamorous event on the A-list’s calendar, sort of like the Oscars of fashion.

All the looks from the Met Gala

The theme of the night is China: Through the Looking Glass — a stimulus that some celebs have interpreted more literally than others.

Earlier, Sarah Jessica Parker turned heads in a sky-high Philip Treacy headpiece. And Anne Hathaway donned a futuristic gold hoodie.

The $30,000-a-plate gala was a hot ticket for the hottest young stars of music, film and fashion.

Model buds Karlie Kloss and Gigi Hadid left the swanky Carlyle hotel hand-in-hand. And Kim K’s little sister Kendall made an appearance too.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley gave only the slightest nod to the Chinese theme, but won plaudits for her ultra-glamorous look anyway.

And Rihanna has inspired comparisons to Big Bird, omelettes and Spongebob Squarepants with her very yellow get-up.

Anna Wintour has banned fashion’s A-list from taking selfies and posting on Instagram from inside the Met Gala.

“The use of phones for photography and social media will not be permitted inside the gala,” guests were told, according to Page Six.

A source told the New York Post the social media blackout was “solely to do with guests’ security and enjoyment of the event”.
