In Case You Were Wondering, Yes, Rihanna Is Still Very Much Queen Of The Met Gala

We're pleased to report that the We Found Love singer's position as queen of the Met Ball is safe for another year.

For many of us here in the UK, waking up on the first Tuesday morning of May means only one thing – immediately looking up all of the must-see photos from the Met Gala from the night before.

And the chances are, there’s one woman in particular whose look you’ll be eager to see. Yes, we’re talking about Rihanna.

If any of that rings true for you, then we’re happy to report that the chart-topping singer and beauty entrepreneur’s position as queen of the Met Ball is very much still secure.

Rihanna walked the red carpet on Monday night in an elaborate Chanel bridal gown that more than fit the “in honour of Karl Lagerfeld” dress code.

Not only did the eye-catching look bring the drama with its detailed floral hood, it also brought camp value, with Rihanna sporting a pair of sunglasses with oversized fake eyelashes attached.

As she continued down the red carpet, the We Found Love singer removed the hood, showing off more of the white dress underneath.

Rihanna – who is currently pregnant with her second child – arrived at the event with her partner A$AP Rocky, who was dressed in a suit jacket, belted kilt and bedazzled blue jeans.

The couple previously made their first official public appearance together at the Met Gala two years earlier.

In previous years, Rihanna has been a real scene-stealer at the Met Ball, famously wearing a pope-inspired outfit on the year she co-chaired, and inspiring a million memes with an enormous train she wore in 2015.
