Beyonce: Met Gala 2013 Honorary Chair!

We were already pretty excited about the 2013 Met Gala , what with the awesome punk theme and Givenchys Riccardo Tisci hosting. But a new announcement via Women's Wear Daily is getting us even more psyched: Beyonce has been named an honorary chair of the event!

Leave it to Anna Wintour to stack fashion's biggest night with an all-star cast. Already slated to host the annual event are Rooney Mara and Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci , both of whose dark, brooding sensibilities fit this year's theme, "Punk: Chaos to Couture."

Beyonce isn't exactly known for her punk style, but she does fit in with her co-chairs. Beyonce wore a dramatic Givenchy creation to last year's Met Gala, plus she's spent the 12 months since getting even cozier than ever with the fashion crowd. (You saw her Vogue cover , right?)

WWD notes the possibility that Bey will join co-hosts Wintour, Mara, Tisci and Lauren Santo Domingo on the greeting line (!), but there's no confirmation of that yet. But we're guessing this at least guarantees a timely arrival: last year, Beyonce left press and fans waiting until the very last moment and made a dramatic late entrance.
