Beyonce and the Impossibly Tight Pucci Gown at the MET 2011 Ball

Singer Beyonce is one of the few female entertainers out there to boast such a fabulous curvy figure, one that most women would probably kill for. As such, she’s always dressed to emphasize it but, at the recent MET 2011 Gala, she may have overdone it just a bit.

As the photo attached to this article confirms, for The Costume Institute Gala Benefit, the singer, who seems to have dropped a few pounds since her previous red carpet appearance, rocked a skin-tight Emilio Pucci black gown.

The creation came complete with a high neck and a cut-out daring décolletage that nearly led to a fashion faux-pas on the red carpet (as per ongoing tabloid reports) but that was avoided in time, and a tulle siren bottom.

What stood out about the gown, aside from the gold on black details, was the fact that it was so tight that it almost seemed as if Beyonce was holding her breath in it.

Whether that was the case we will probably never find out – but what we do know is that the gown was tight enough to make it impossible for the singer to climb the stairs without support from two people, no less.

Reports online suggest that Beyonce and Jay Z were booed on the red carpet because they were on in-and-out mode and stayed to pose for picture far less than any other celebrity there.

The fact that her gown was so tight might explain that.

Photos on the Daily Mail show Beyonce aided by Jay and another man, climbing the stairs with lots of difficulty, which, in turns, sparked a lot of talk about the lengths one should go to in order to be “high fashion.”

“Beyonce was joined by her husband Jay-Z and showed off her figure in a form-fitting black fishtail gown with exquisite gold embroidery,” the Mail notes.

“Of course, having her husband by her side proved helpful because the tight-fitting nature of the ensemble meant it the Single Ladies singer needed assistance climbing the stairs,” says the same tab.

Indeed, photos printed in the same publication show Beyonce nearly being carried up and away by the men – which is to say, they’re not simply lending her a hand, they’re practically carrying her.
