The fashion world is abuzz with excitement and speculation on what this year’s Met Gala will bring, and whether Rihanna will make an appearance.
While the queen of fashion herself did not attend the Met Gala in 2022, the world is still holding its breath to see if she will grace the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2023. Rihanna’s latest outing ahead of the Met Gala has fashion critics and fans alike buzzing with anticipation. The singer and fashion icon made a subtle nod to this year’s theme, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” with her latest ensemble.
Rihanna’s outfit was a stunning tribute to the iconic designer. She donned a cropped black and white faux-fur jacket from Chanel’s 1994 fall collection, designed by Lagerfeld himself. To complete the look, she wore a white furry Coperni mini-dress, custom Amina Muaddi heels, and a faux fur hat by Benny Andallo. Rihanna topped it off with Chanel logo glasses in white and a cheeky caption, “Not even Monday.”
This isn’t the first time Rihanna has stunned the world with her Met Gala looks. From her Guo Pei designer yellow oversized fur cape for “China: Through The Looking Glass” in 2015 to her sculptural layered look by Comme des Garçons for “Red Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between” in 2017, Rihanna always knows how to steal the show.
And let’s not forget her epic Pope-inspired look in 2018, where she not only co-hosted the event but also shut down the red carpet with her gorgeous and intricately beaded custom mini dress, cape, and mitre by John Galliano for Maison Margiela. Rihanna’s debut with her beau and baby daddy ASAP Rocky in 2021, celebrating the theme “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion” in a Balenciaga gown, beanie, and laden in diamonds, was also one for the books.
As the fashion world prepares to pay homage to Karl Lagerfeld on the first Monday of May, Rihanna’s fans are eagerly awaiting her next jaw-dropping Met Gala look. Will she make an appearance? Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure: when Rihanna does make her grand entrance, she will undoubtedly leave us all in awe.
