More On:

No one rules the Met Gala red carpet quite like Rihanna.

And while her late arrival likely had fans asking “Where Have You Been,” the Bad Gal and partner A$AP Rocky — who are currently expecting their second child — eventually made an entrance on the 2023 gala’s red carpet Monday.

The “Love on the Brain” star stunned in a bridal-esque white Valentino ensemble featuring a flower-adorned cape, dramatic train and false eyelash-adorned sunglasses.

For his part, A$AP Rocky went comparatively casual — at least on the bottom half — as he sported a Gucci suit jacket and a plaid kilt layered over a pair of shimmering jeans.

A source previously told Page Six that the “Love on the Brain” singer had a secret fitting for her look at 3 a.m. on Saturday morning, involving $25 million worth of Cartier jewels.

The bridal white gown she ended up wearing was perhaps a fitting fashion to close out the evening, given Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel shows were known to end with a wedding gown.

She removed her cape once inside the gala, revealing a matching rosette-adorned dress and showing off her baby bump.

Rihanna, 35, might well be the annual event’s most anticipated arrival at this point. Over the years, she’s attended in iconic looks ranging from a pope-inspired Maison Margiela Artisanal ensemble (for 2018’s “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” gala) to a petal-covered Comme des Garçons creation (for 2017’s “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between” ball).

And who could possibly forget the jaw-dropping yellow Guo Pei gown she chose for 2015’s “China: Through the Looking Glass”-themed carpet?

This year, the “Work” singer even got into the Met Gala spirit early, as she posed for Instagram snaps in a furry cropped Chanel jacket over the weekend.

Of course, Rihanna’s never been one to tone down her fashion while she’s expecting.

During her first pregnancy in 2022, the “Umbrella” hitmaker showed off her baby bump in a series of headline-making styles from the likes of Chanel, Dior and Gucci, each accessorized to the max.

“When I found out I was pregnant, I thought to myself, There’s no way I’m going to go shopping in no maternity aisle,” Rihanna told Vogue last year. “I’m sorry — it’s too much fun to get dressed up. I’m not going to let that part disappear because my body is changing.”

The Fenty Beauty mogul regularly plays with show-stopping beauty looks as well. Her makeup artist Priscilla Ono recently shared her product must-haves with Page Six Style, telling us that every Met Gala look is “special in its own way.”

“Especially for the Met, I feel like there’s so much pressure on the Met and there’s actually a lot of pre-glam moments,” she added of the prep process.
