After hosts Keke Palmer and Ilana Glaser said goodbye to the audience and the live broadcast ended, the question remained “Where is Rihanna? “Shortly after the closing of the carpet, which marks the beginning of the event, social media began to fall apart with videos and photos from the arrival of the singer, and she was not alone. Hand in hand with her friend, the rapper $ AP Years, who wore a quilted ERL look, climbed the stairs of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, dressed in a life-size black Balenciaga coat that doubled as a dress.
Apparently, the only question people asked was, “Where is he?” Rihanna? “After a year without the Met Gala due to the pandemic and Rihanna chose to miss the event in 2019, the superstar’s arrival was highly anticipated. The singer and business tycoon have long been called the Queen of Met after a successive reign of iconic looks. , Rihanna was still unnoticed, although she had announced that she would host the official after party of the MET Gala.
Demna Gvasalia’s personalized appearance was different from Rihanna’s previous visions, but it fell no further than the drama and fire that stopped the show, which she embodied each time. The ensemble is shaped by Tyler Ellis’ Swarovski crystal “Grace Pouch”, Amina Muaddi heels, over 257 carat Bulgari jewelry, archival diamonds and a simple black hat.
While many admired her elegant finishing look, people still wondered what lay beneath the dramatic coat.

Although the contents under the disheveled black coat were never revealed, the bad girl arrived at her afterparty in another Balenciaga outfit. She traded her cozy look for a see-through black skirt that revealed legs and bottoms, a black luxury short-sleeved shirt hung with jewelry and embellished with a headdress, choker and tassels. She took on the chic look, along with a black purse that gleamed with fringe crystals.
The look of the night was at first glance a fusion of streetwear and haute couture, but it also nodded at a modernized 1920s valve. Whatever Rihanna’s inspiration is, it’s clear that everyone will be waiting for her to close the Met Gala year after year.
