Let’s be honest—Rihanna’s Met Gala timing is fashionably disrespectful at this point, and we love her for it. The Bad Gal showed up hours after the live feed had clocked out, confirming her third pregnancy while dripping in a gray Marc Jacobs bodysuit, cropped black blazer, and pinstriped train skirt. Oh, and she really said “Y2K clowncore” with that red and white polka dot bowtie.
Mama showed up late, shut it down, and served. Again.
“It’s giving timeless. It’s giving boss lady. It’s giving third trimester, but make it Met,” whispered the crowd, allegedly.
Lauryn Hill Floats Like Royalty, Cardi B Goes Green, and Kim K’s Leather Moment Has the Girls Talking
It’s been decades since Lauryn Hill blessed a Met carpet, but she made up for lost time in a pale yellow tux with a trailing train that screamed, “legend loading…” Paired with a burgundy tie and gold accessories, Ms. Hill had a Met staffer literally holding an umbrella for her like the queen she is.
Cardi B? She said garden snake glam with a deep green Burberry pantsuit, plunging neckline, and diamond earrings that sparkled brighter than her IG comments.
Now let’s talk about Kim Kardashian, who channeled “Matrix in Milan” energy in an off-the-shoulder black leather corset with a matching hat covering one eye—classic Kimmy K with just the right dose of mystery and money.
“You already know Kim ain’t stepping out unless she’s snatched and shaded,” murmured a nearby stylist.
Angela Bassett Brought Velvet Vibes, Idris Went Full ‘F1’, and Sabrina Carpenter Gave Us LV Royalty
Some people would’ve shouted, “Yoh! Who’s this now?” when Angela Bassett pulled up in a royal blue velvet pantsuit with a sheer blouse and a top hat that said, “Your fave could never.” Sis even carried a black cane and a silver purse shaped like a camera—cinematic excellence, finished off with a diamond pin.
Damson Idris, fresh from the ‘F1’ movie set, arrived in a white racing suit and red leather gloves like he just stepped off the grid at Monaco. But honey, when he pulled off the gear to reveal a satin red tux, it was “vroom vroom, now kiss the ring.”
Pop princess Sabrina Carpenter served Louis Vuitton realness, courtesy of Pharrell. Dressed in a burgundy bodysuit with a white collar and gold-buttoned blazer, she gave a train so long it almost needed an Uber to get up the Met steps.
