While Rihanna is known for making a grand entrance at the Met Gala, fans were left disappointed this year as the singer had to skip the event due to being sick with the flu.
Despite her absence, rumors circulated about her potential attendance as her stylist was spotted in NYC and her partner, A$AP Rocky, was seen in Soho.
Rihanna had teased a "real simple" look for the Met Gala, but her absence left fans wondering what could have been.
In the lead-up to the event, Rihanna sported bubblegum pink hair at a Puma event in Miami, showcasing her ever-changing style.
Known for her daring fashion choices, Rihanna recently admitted that A$AP Rocky outshines her in the style department, leaving her feeling "bummy as s—t" next to him.
Despite her partner's fashion prowess, Rihanna has always been a standout at the Met Gala, with her iconic ensembles making waves on the red carpet.
From her memorable yellow Guo Pei cape gown in 2015 to her bejeweled pope look in 2018, Rihanna's Met Gala looks have always been show-stopping.
After skipping the event in 2022, Rihanna returned in 2023 while pregnant, stunning in a white Valentino gown with a camellia-covered cape.
Fans can only hope for a comeback in 2025 as Rihanna's absence at the 2024 Met Gala leaves a void in the fashion world.
