Pregnant Rihanna Arrived Fashionably Late to Met Gala 2023

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky made a fashionably late entrance at the 2023 Met Gala… hours after the carpet closed!

The pregnant star showed off her baby bump in a gorgeous white Valentino gown with a massive train. The dress also featured a hood covered in camellia flowers.

She told reporters on the red carpet, “Each of these flowers took 30 hours…Valentino was so gracious enough to make me this look, god knows how long it took them, but they made it last minute... I really only came because I love my dress.”

This year’s Met Gala theme is “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” and Rihanna paid homage to the late designer by wearing fingerless gloves.

RiRi told the press, “I wanted to do the Karl Lagerfeld ride, that is what he is known for…the extravagance, the drama, I live for it.”

Meanwhile, A$AP was by her side in a single-breasted jacket, paired with a long tartan kilt over jeans.

The couple welcomed a son in May 2022, and they are now expecting their second child.

Rihanna confessed, “I feel guilty that my first born isn’t here," but revealed he couldn't be trusted near her dress. "We had to keep him far away, this is white, he is a boy.”

The Grammy winner also shared of her pregnancy, “I’m feeling good... Look I can make it up these stairs by myself.”

She also told "Extra" her plan for once she got inside, “Eat! I’m eating for two.”
