The film is getting rave reviews and so is Beyonce's custom Alexander McQueen dress from last night's The Lion King world premiere in LA!

The Queen B, who voices Nala the lioness who urges Simba to take back his throne in this new live action film, stole the spotlight on the red carpet, despite her former Destiny's Child bandmates Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland also looking amazing at the event.

Bey recently dropped her first single "Spirit" from the soundtrack for the film which drops July 11th, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Here's the lyrics video since the official clip hasn't yet dropped ...



Bey said of collecting music for The Lion King: The Gift, "It was important that the music was not only performed by the most interesting and talented artists but also produced by the best African producers. Authenticity and heart were important to me."

The album will feature a version of Sir Elton John's "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" by Donald Glover who voices the Simba character. In addition to Glover, the rest of the film's cast was in attendance last night, of course ... and non-castmembers like Halle Bailey who was recently cast in another Disney classic. She'll play Ariel in a real-life remake of The Little Mermaid.
