At this level, if Rihanna doesn’t attend the Met Gala, we might have an issue. After taking off final 12 months, possible as a result of she was on the verge of giving delivery, it was unclear if the singer would return to the Met Steps for the 2023 occasion. However now, she has dropped so many hints over the previous few weeks, she has actually gotten our hopes up, and lots of are taking her newest look—which might actually be a Met Gala outfit in itself—as affirmation of her attendance.
On Saturday evening, Rihanna was noticed in New York Metropolis, which itself sounded alarm bells. The singer stepped out in fairly the furry ensemble, impressed by (and together with items from) Chanel’s fall 1994 assortment. The standout piece was a black and white, fake fur cropped jacket from the gathering. Rihanna doesn’t have the matching hats from the identical present, so she commissioned milliner Benny Andallo to create a fake fur and ostrich feather topper to go together with the look. Extra Chanel then got here within the type of white glasses from the autumn 1994 runway, that includes to interlocking Cs in entrance of the eyes. Rihanna wore the over-the-top equipment with a white knitted costume from Coperni fall/winter 2023, and completed off the ensemble with Amina Muaddi crystal-embellished heels and diamonds from Jacob & Co. The singer confirmed off the look on Instagram with the caption “not even Monday.”
Now, if this isn’t an indication that Rihanna shall be on the Met Gala tonight, we don’t know what’s. In actual fact, the singer has been teasing us for the previous few weeks, beginning final month when she stepped out in Paris in a Karl-designed Fendi coat. If we needed to guess, we’d say Rihanna picked up all these classic Karl items whereas doing analysis for the Met, which suggests if she does in actual fact present up tonight, we’re in for a deal with. Although, in fact, that was at all times a given.
