Celebrity minions really do get all the best jobs don't they? Just who doesn't want to be Beyonce's professional tail feather fluffer?
As Bey made her red carpet return at last night's impossibly glamorous Schiaparelli And Prada: Impossible Conversations Costume Institute Gala (aka the Met Gala), her first outing since giving birth, she needed a little help showing off her, errm, understated gown.
The dress, made by Givenchy couture, was embellished with hundreds of crystals and featured a huge feather train.

Let's hope she wasn't moulting all over that red carpet.
