Beyoncé was everyone's favorite part of the Met Gala and she wasn't even there

Did you see her?

Year after year Beyoncé slays the Met Gala, and 2018 was no different -- well, maybe a tiny bit different.

The goddess of entertainment didn't physically attend this year's "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination" themed event, but fans knew she was there in spirit. That's how "The Holy Ghost" meme was born.

Desperate to celebrate Bey, people began sharing photos of empty spaces on the Met Gala carpet, where they claimed the "Holy Ghost of Beyoncé" was standing. As you will see, she looked absolutely stunning as always.

And here she is striking a pose and serving some looks for the cameras. Where's Jay-Z, though??

Some thought Beyoncé had the best look of the night, but have they SEEN sis Solange? Definitely a tough choice to make.

ICYMI, here is Solange posing with Beyoncé. Two absolute fashion icons.
