Beyoncé seems to be just as excited for The Lion King as fans are. The singer attended the Wearable Art Gala hosted by her mother Tina Lawson channeling her character Nala from the upcoming film, wearing a sequined bodysuit with a lion’s face on it. The look included feathers for the lion’s mane and a flowing golden cape.

The gala, hosted by Lawson’s organization with her husband, Richard, Where Art Can Occur, was also a mini Destiny’s Child reunion. Beyoncé met up with her friends/former bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams at the event, which also hosted attendees Tiffany Haddish and Star Jones.

Perhaps the most exciting guest, however, was Beyoncé’s daughter, Blue Ivy, who was seen walking with her dad, Jay Z, wearing a yellow gown and elaborate headdress. Beyoncé shared a video of her with her daughter, who was lip syncing to “The Circle of Life” while they rode together to the event.

While fans will have to wait until July 19 to see the film, they’ll soon be able to get their hands on a makeup line inspired by the movie, created by Beyoncé’s makeup artist Sir John.

“The line is for every woman,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “I was inspired while on safari in South Africa for Global Citizen, and I remember looking at how warm and rich the colors were, and I didn’t need to look any further than the landscape.”

The line, which includes an eyeshadow palette, matte and liquid lipsticks, tinted balms, a contour palette, and a highlighter, will be available online starting June 15.
