Stars and critics alike have been raving after being the first to see the Jon Favreau blockbuster – which is led by Donald Glover (in the role of Simba).

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.’
