The superstar, dressed in custom Maison Margiela, arrived in typically late fashion to Monday night’s event.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky attend the 2026 Met Gala celebrating “Costume Art” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 4. 2026.
The superstar hit the iconic red carpet over an hour after the rest of the A-list guests had gone inside on Monday — and after the Vogue livestream had already come to an end this year wrapped in a glittering gold and silver Maison Margiela gown, with her hair also featuring golden spirals. She walked arm-in-arm with partner A$AP Rocky, who rocked a pink robe over his tux.
Rihanna has become one of the most highly anticipated Met Gala guests throughout the years, consistently breaking the internet with her looks — and last year revealing her third pregnancy on the Met steps.
The 2026 Met Gala theme is “Costume Art,” tied to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s spring Costume Institute exhibition of the same name, which “examines the centrality of the dressed body throughout time and culture, juxtaposing garments and works of art from across the Museum’s vast collection to create pairings that highlight the indivisible connection between clothing and the body,” per the Met.
