Rihanna has a flair for making an unforgettable entrance, even if it’s fashionably late. She and A$AP Rocky were the last attendees to arrive at the 2023 Met Gala, but their stunning outfits made it all worth it. It’s easy to overlook their tardiness, especially when you see Rihanna sporting a chic fur coat from Fendi’s fall/winter 1997 ready-to-wear collection, paying homage to the late Karl Lagerfeld. A$AP Rocky also paid his respects to the fashion icon by donning an outfit that closely resembles one Lagerfeld wore during a Chanel runway show in 2004.

Rihanna is known for her impeccable style and fashion choices, and she did not disappoint at the recent event. Her first look was stunning, but that was just the beginning. As she arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, everyone was in awe of her second outfit. The fur was gone, and she wore a beautiful Valentino white gown with floral prints and an elegant hood. The gown had a long train that added to the overall grandeur of the dress. To complete the look, Rihanna accessorized with exquisite diamond stud earrings and a pearl chocker by BVLGARI. Her white lace-up heels by Gianvito Rossi added a touch of elegance to the ensemble. Rihanna’s fashion sense is truly remarkable and awe-inspiring.
