Never ones to go with the crowd, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky took their sweet time getting ready for the 2023 Met Gala red carpet.
While everyone was in a tizzy, wondering where the pregnant singer may be, plenty speculated that Rihanna, Queen of the Met, might not show up to the annual extravaganza. But we should know better than to doubt the Fenty Beauty mogul.
Not only are the couple finally arriving at the Met, but their looks do not disappoint.
Photographed leaving the Carlyle Hotel in New York City, Rihanna was spotted wearing a roomy fur coat and white strappy stilettos that featured Chanel’s signature flower, the camellia.
Though not much can be seen below the coat, a layered choker of diamonds and pearls suggests she’s nailed the brief. A$AP, on the other hand, blew it out of the water. In a spitting-image tribute to Karl Lagerfeld, the rapper looked extremely dapper in a white shirt with a leather tie, a black blazer with a diamond brooch on the lapel, a red tartan kilt with four belts, and studded jeans.
The look was a direct emulation of a 2004 look from the late designer.
Arriving on the red carpet, Rihanna finally unveiled her masterpiece look—and the shoes should have been a giveaway. Wearing a gown that cocooned her upper half in white camellia-like rosettes, the singer brought the ‘wow’ factor in Valentino.
She then removed the top half of her look to reveal the low-cut, spaghetti-strap gown that cradled her growing baby bump.
Just when no one thought the duo could live up to the bar of their 2021 Met Gala red carpet debut, Rihanna and A$AP have certainly outdone themselves.
