We’re only a couple of days away from the year’s biggest event in celebrity fashion — the Met Gala — and Rihanna will definitely be one of the people to watch for. With her partner A$AP Rocky serving as co-chair for this year’s event, there’s no doubt the power couple will be dropping jaws with their interpretations of the “Tailored for You” theme. In anticipation of the festivities, Rihanna recalled some unforgettable and unexpected ensembles as her favorite Met Gala looks.
Rihanna’s timeless style has evolved over the years to include some wild costumes and one epic pregnancy announcement. But the Met Gala is a whole different ballgame. When she was asked which gowns made her want to work, work, work, work, work her way up the famed gala stairs, she told British Vogue:
No one would ever expect this. There are two. Obviously, the yellow, fur stole that went all the way down the stairs. Nobody will forget that, I will never forget that feeling of discovering that designer based off the design challenge that Anna gave me, basically.
This is an absolute must for any list of top Met Gala looks. The imperial yellow gown radiated on the red carpet at the 2015 event, whose theme was “China: Through the Looking Glass.”
The Chinese couture Guo Pei piece took two years to make, as it was handmade by one woman. That train is absolutely everything — talk about using the Met Gala stairs to your advantage — but the stunning headpiece and statement jewelry can’t go unmentioned.
Anna Wintour shouts out your style, and I can’t wait to see what she and her partner get up to — and whether those wild (if unlikely) Kardashian Met Gala rumors are true this time — when A$AP Rocky co-chairs Monday’s Met Gala alongside Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton and Pharrell Williams.
