The appearance was one of her first public outings since the birth of first child Blue Ivy and she told reporters on the night that she was planning on having more children.

The 2012 Gala was also the night when Jessica Biel showed off her engagement ring confirming several months of speculation that she and Justin Timberlake were indeed planning on getting married.
