In all of the pageantry, hoopla, stunts and shows that advance with the annual Met Gala — celebrities decked in haute couture, multiple costume changes, team chats and social media timelines rushing to outdo one another for jokes. But in the middle of all that, Queen Latifah walked the Met Gala Carpet with her longtime spouse Eboni Nichols.
When I first saw it, well&#; I screamed a little. Ok, maybe I screamed more than a little. It’s not that we haven’t seen Queen and Eboni walk a red carpet together before, they walked the Oscars carpet together in and more recently they walked a different red carpet together for an AmFAR boon in Queen first publicly established Eboni, and their son Rebel, from a BET stage by thanking them both as her “love” while accepting her Lifetime Achievement Award.
