The Met Gala has been taking place for decades now. Still, in recent years, a handful of regular attendees have become known as the best-dressed among the rest. Within the group, you'll find names like Blake Lively (who's confirmed to be staying home this year), as well as Zendaya. Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and of course, Rihanna are also on the list. The Bad Gal's first time attending the New York event was way back in 2007. However, her looks from years like 2015 (designed by Guo Pei) and 2018 (from John Galliano) are far more memorable.
Seeing as she skipped out on the 2022 Met Gala, many were unsure if we'd see Rihanna walk the red carpet – especially now that she's expecting her second child with A$AP Rocky. Thankfully, she confirmed in a very bold way on Saturday (April 28) that we'll be seeing her. She'll likely be in Chanel at tonight's function, which is paying tribute to the late Karl Lagerfeld. At the time, she stepped out for dinner in a vintage look from the French brand's F/W 1994 collection. It came complete with monogrammed sunglasses and a larger-than-life black and white fuzzy hat.
Rihanna is Ready to Serve at the 2023 Met Gala
"Not even Monday," the 35-year-old wrote in the caption of her latest Instagram post, hinting that her next fashion moment could be even wilder. According to Page Six sources, it may be far more sparkly too. Rihanna is rumoured to have played around with $25 million worth of Cartier jewels during her 3 AM fitting. It remains unclear at this time if she'll be wearing just the diamonds – which certainly wouldn't be surprising knowing her sultry style choices – or if they're simply to accessorize whatever else she's put together from the archives. Regardless, we're beyond eager to see how she, and her budding baby bump, look in the coming hours.
Rihanna will certainly be in good company. Both Ice Spice and Kim Kardashian have already made it clear that they'll be stepping out in their best-dressed too. The latter was seen exploring the city with her eldest daughter, North West, causing some to speculate that the 9-year-old may make her debut along with the "Princess Diana" hitmaker.
