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

The goddess of entertainment didn't physicallyattend 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.
