Beyonce Met Gala Dress 2015: How A Vegan Diet Helped Shape Her Amazing Figure
Beyoncé always looks good, but when she walked the red carpet at the Met Gala in New York City on Monday night in a sheer Givenchy gown that hugged her famous figure, she really wowed the crowd. The superstar singer and mother of 2-year-old Blue Ivy showed up late to the event in a nude-colored dress embellished with multicolored beads and gemstones.
But what really got the "Partition" singer noticed was her enviable figure. Beyoncé appeared toned and svelte, yet curvy, and many were wondering just how Queen Bey managed to look so fit, healthy and strong.
Beyoncé has famously been on many diets before – remember when she did the lemonade, maple syrup and cayenne pepper cleanse for "Dreamgirls"? Now, she follows a vegan diet, which omits any products made from animals, so no meat, dairy, honey – you get the idea.
The "Crazy in Love" singer lived by The 22-Day Revolution, a vegan-based meal plan that relies on some of the company's protein bars, plant-based protein powder and meals. What's a typical diet day for Beyoncé like? We've got three days of her meal plan below, courtesy of E!:
