'She is the moment!' Rihanna arrives late to Met Gala 2023 as fans say 'everyone was literally waiting for her'

Rihanna stuns Met Gala 2023 in an ivory white gown as she attends with beau A$AP Rocky after skipping it last year

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Rihanna is rocking maternity fashion with her beau A$AP Rocky by her side at the Met Gala 2023 and fans can’t keep calm. After skipping the Met Gala 2022 for her advanced stage of pregnancy with her firstborn Noah Meyers, the Barbadian singer is making up for the lost year as she exudes super glam in her look from the 2023 Met.

The ‘Diamonds’ singer arrived late at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and fans can’t help but obsess about her looks. Donning an all-white gown that offers homage to the iconic designer Karl Lagerfeld — who was known for his preference for monochromatic looks — the ‘Fenty Beauty’ mogul chose a structured, figure-concealing top that was embossed with satiny rosettes. This year’s theme of the star-studded affair is "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty," in memory of the former Chanel’s creative director who was a regular at the Met and died in February 2019.

What did Rihanna wear to Met Gala 2023?

As the mother of one started for the Met Gala 2023, she was spotted wearing an oversized brown fur coat from Fendi's fall/winter 1997 ready-to-wear collection, as per Harper’s Bazaar. At that time, matching with her evening’s final look, the ‘We Found Love’ singer chose a strappy ivory white sandal with a pointed toe. White rosettes were attached to the pointed toe that seemingly gave a hint toward her final look. She also wore a pair of large diamond-encrusted stud earrings and multilayered pearl necklaces.

After pulling off a costume change, she eventually made it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she arrived in an eye-catching white Maison Valentino gown with a long, sweeping train. She also donned a structured white top with rosettes that totally encased her body and head. The nine-time Grammy winner’s dramatic ensemble was finished off with fingerless ivory gloves and white framed sunglasses with attached faux eyelashes.

Later, however, she removed the outer layer of her top to show off her baby bump in a strappy fitted top with a plunging neckline.

Rihanna had a dress fitting at 3 am on Saturday for her final look at the event, reported Page Six. RiRi’s ensemble would be including $25 million worth of jewels from Cartier, Hola! had reported earlier.

What did A$AP Rocky wear to Met Gala 2023?

To let the mother of her children shine, A$AP Rocky chose to keep his ensemble mellowed, but suave nonetheless. In his Gucci ensemble, the rapper chose to wear an elegant black blazer paired with a white collared dress shirt. He chose to add a quirky touch by wrapping a high-low red plaid pleated kilt over a pair of embellished loose jeans. Complementing his lady love’s looks, he wore black sunglasses and opted for a silver brooch on the lapel of his coat, with stud earrings, and steel-tip square-toe boots.

'She's iconic'

Fans praised the all-white ensemble with all their might. As one fan said, "@rihanna be like,"Heeeeeeeey Y'ALL. ALL EYES ON ME NOW." lol #MetaGala 2023," while another gushed, "She's iconic she's a legend she is the moment !" Someone else commented, "Girl we know she showed up late like everyone was literally waiting for her."

Another fan cheered, "RIHANNA YOU’RE AN ICON! A LEGEND!! HISTORY TO BE STUDIED!!! ."

There were fans who commented on A$AP Rocky too, as one made fun of him and said, "Rihanna and her personal assistant attend The 2023 Met Gala."
