At simply weeks away, the Met Gala is taking up the ideas and minds of each fashion-minded individual. It’s no shock, then, that Rihanna is seemingly fascinated by the occasion and permitting it to encourage one in every of her most artistic retailers—her private model. It is likely to be unconscious, however the upcoming Met Gala is clearly affecting everybody, even Rih.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are at present spending a while in Paris, and on Monday, the duo headed out to dinner at César proper off the Avenue des Champs-Élysées. Rihanna opted for an all-gray search for the outing, sporting a crop prime that confirmed off her rising stomach, and a pair of low-slung Marni cargo pants. Colour then got here within the type of her coat, an extended, hooded patchwork piece from Fendi fall/winter 1999, designed by Karl Lagerfeld. It’s very Joseph and the Wonderful Technicolor Dreamcoat, or, with that pointed hood, a bit Harry Potter-esque, however both means, made trend.

As we all know, subsequent month’s Met Gala will honor Lagerfeld, and his 65-year profession at homes together with Chanel, Chloé, Patou, and naturally, Fendi. Was it only a coincidence that Rihanna pulled out this extraordinarily related piece simply weeks earlier than? It’s attainable that the singer was performing some analysis for her Met Gala look and stumbled upon this coat and simply needed to have it, that means it’s appearing as a touch to what she will likely be sporting on the primary Monday in Might.

Whereas Rihanna is a giant fan of classic and archival items, she has by no means worn something pre-loved to the Met, however this yr’s theme may very well be the proper excuse to interrupt that custom. Sadly, as of now, we don’t know if Rihanna is even attending the Met Gala subsequent month, and we doubtless received’t know for positive till the very finish of the pink carpet. As we all know, Rih likes to be fashionably late, hopefully, although, this look is a touch that she will likely be fashionably late in classic Fendi.
