She arrived "fashionably late," as her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, put it. However, when Rihanna made her entrance, she instantly captured the attention of both onlookers and cameras on the red carpet.
Dressed in a pinstriped ensemble topped with a strikingly large black hat—fitting for this year's Met Gala theme celebrating the fashion movement of Black dandyism—she also drew significant attention with her noticeable baby bump.
Earlier today, A$AP Rocky confirmed to reporters that he and Rihanna are expecting their third child. The couple already has two young sons, born in 2022 and 2023.
This isn't the first time Rihanna has revealed a pregnancy during a significant event; she announced her second pregnancy during her halftime performance at the Super Bowl in 2023.
This year's Met Gala, honoring the Costume Institute's new exhibition "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," will be held starting May 10 and is co-chaired by A$AP Rocky, Rihanna's partner.
His involvement in this year's event follows several years of the couple making notable appearances at the gala, frequently stealing the spotlight on the red carpet with their meticulously selected outfits.
