Here’s a fact: whatever Rihanna wears, she will always look effortlessly sophisticated. And once she puts on an haute couture creation, it’s safe to say that the heavens have arrived.
As the crème de la crème of fashion galas is just around the corner, we took the liberty to gather all of Rihanna’s Met Gala red carpet looks. From her majestically prodigious yellow gown to a tailored tuxedo number, she has consistently defied our expectations.
Year after year, Rihanna has taught us that no design is too risqué for the first Monday in May. Whether you wear a tailored power suit or an Avante Garde creation, embrace who and what you wear to stand out in a sea of stunning celebrities. So perhaps this coming Monday, it’s safe to assume that we’ll see her once more shutting down the red carpet. But for now, here’s a look back at all her sensational looks.
