In her seventh Met Gala appearance, Rihanna did not disappoint. The star closed the red carpet with a stunning custom Balenciaga look.

The Met Gala, one of the biggest and most recognized fashion events, is back. Although the 2020 edition had to be canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic and this one in 2021 was delayed from May, the event was finally held on September 13.

The theme for the 2021 Met Gala was “American fashion” and as usual, an exhibition will open at the Metropolitan Museum of Art following the theme. This year’s exhibition is titled ‘In America: A Lexicon of Fashion’ and will mark the 75th anniversary of the Costume Institute, as well as exploring the modern vocabulary of American fashion.

This year, the gala co-hosts were designer Tom Ford; the director of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, and Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of the US edition of Vogue magazine. On the other hand, the co-hosts were the actor Timothée Chalamet, the singer Billie Eilish, the tennis player Naomi Osaka and the poet Amanda Gorman.

In addition, multiple artists, athletes, celebrities and influencers attended the event, showing their best and most extravagant looks; one of them, the look of Rihanna, who closed the red carpet with a flourish .

Although many fans of Rihanna and the Met Gala thought that she would not attend the event, the singer took her time to arrive and walk the red carpet and it was worth the wait, as she decided to save the best for last.

The interpreter of ‘Umbrella’ arrived accompanied by ASAP Rocky to close the night with an impressive Balenciaga coat and a matching hat. The custom look from Demna Gvasalia, creative director of the brand, put a twist on the elegant American style with a voluminous scale with black ruffles. For his part, her boyfriend ASAP Rocky wore a look inspired by quilts specially designed by ERL.
