Rihanna arrives at Met Gala with A$AP Rocky

On Monday (Tuesday IST), Rihanna and her partner, A$AP Rocky, arrived at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Rihanna wore a dramatic white Maison Valentino gown with a long sweeping train for the fashion’s biggest night. Meanwhile, the rapper complemented Rihanna in a Gucci ensemble featuring a black blazer, a white collared dress shirt, and a high-low red plaid pleated kilt layered over a pair of bedazzled baggy jeans. His outfit took inspiration from a similar look that Karl Lagerfeld once wore to close out the Chanel runway in 2004. Black sunglasses, a silver brooch on the lapel, stud earrings, steel-tip square-toe boots, statement rings, a braided hairdo, and a glove completed the look.

Rihanna’s white Valentino gown for Met Gala featured a structured ivory top covered in rosettes, which completely engulfed her torso and head. As she walked up the iconic stairs of The Met Museum, Rihanna removed the structured top to reveal a form-fitting slip gown that hugged her baby bump. It has spaghetti straps, a daring plunging neckline, rose embellishments on the front, a pleated skirt, and a floor-grazing train.

Rihanna finished the look with opera-length fingerless gloves and white sunglasses with attached faux eyelashes. She chose a choker necklace, floral earrings, and high heels for the accessories.

Lastly, Rihanna chose bold red lip shade, a side-parted sleek half-tied hairdo, white eye shadow, winged eyeliner, mascara on the lashes, feathered brows, rouged cheekbones, and dewy base for the glam picks.
