The undeniable belle of the ball was Beyonce, who was supported by Destiny’s Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams (pictured with her above), husband Jay-Z, and many more. 

Bey, who plays Nala, announced just before showtime that she’ll be releasing a companion compilation named ‘The Lion King: The Gift’ on July 19th. The first taste of the multi-artist project arrived today in the form of the singer’s soaring anthem ‘Spirit.’
