Rihanna may not have been present at fashion’s most important event, but she sure stole the show!
The singer was unable to attend the Met Gala in 2022 since she is expecting her first child with rapper boyfriend A$AP Rocky. That didn’t stop the Fenty Beauty creator from making a memorable entrance.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Vogue constructed a monument of the singer showing off her baby bulge at the famed museum on Monday night, just weeks after she graced the cover of the magazine.
Yes, it is as wonderful as it sounds.
“@themetmuseum Greco-Roman galleries, the statue of ‘Eirene (The Personification of Peace)’ is frequently the most prominent marble goddess. But now we’ve got @badgalriri, fresh off the cover of Vogue this month “Vogue posted a video on Instagram showing off Rihanna’s marble statue.
The singer and founder of Fenty Beauty was clearly moved by the gesture, reposting the video on her own page.
Thousands of Rihanna fans have drooled over the video, which has earned over 6 million views.
No one can deny that Rihanna has consistently made “HistoRIH” at previous Met Galas with her innovative interpretations of the year’s theme.
In September 2021, she wore a couture Balenciaga coat dress made by Demna Gvasalia, which she accessorized with a beanie, a diamond necklace, and a stunning crystal headpiece.
When the singer wore a high-low skirt and a headpiece atop a jewel-encrusted robe that gave off seductive Pope vibes in 2018, she pushed the year’s theme “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” to new heights.
For the year’s theme, “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between,” the singer wore a multicolored dress with patterned ruffles designed by Comme des Garçons. She completed the ensemble with lace-up red heels, bangs, and an exaggerated pink blush.
