The gala, which was hosted by Beyoncé’s mother, [Tina Lawson](http://time.com/3848852/tina-knowles-lawson-mothers-day-letter/) and her husband, Richard Lawson for the WACO Theater Center, had a theme of “WACO to Wakanda,” referencing the fictional African nation in _Black Panther_. Queen Bey wore a custom gold gown with metallic cutouts and a gold train made by Falguni Shane Peacock; in an interview with [_WWD_](http://wwd.com/eye/people/beyonce-wearable-art-2018-falguni-shane-peacock-1202631287/), the designers said that the dress was inspired by Nubian warrior queen Amanishakheto, with the metallic cutouts styled to look like the armor worn by Nubian armies. Six-year-old Blue Ivy, who engaged in a [bidding war](http://time.com/5204751/blue-ivy-art-bidding/) with director Tyler Perry for a portrait of Sidney Poitier, wore a gold dress with a full skirt and a matching gold wig that matched her mother’s look perfectly.
