Rihanna teased her ‘simple’ look at the 2024 Met Gala

Let’s be honest, one of the main reasons everyone is tuning in to the Met Gala is to see what Rihanna will wear. Every year, she ups the ante and takes her fashion game to the next level by climbing the museum’s grand staircase. In 2018, she was nicknamed “Pope Rihanna” and went viral for her custom John Galliano beaded mini dress, matching coat and mitered hat, but perhaps her most memorable look was three years earlier when the singer appeared in a canary yellow Guo Pei creation. complete with 16 foot cape.

However, things might be a little different this year. “I’m actually keeping it very simple this year… very simple,” Rihanna teased about her outfit while speaking with Additional at the launch event for her new Fenty Beauty Soft’lit Foundation in Los Angeles on Friday.

Although she has two options for dresses, Rihanna, who has attended 10 Met Galas in the past, noted that both are “very simple…compared to anything I’ve done.”

Instead of her outfit, the singer will focus on her glamour. “I think it will depend on what my makeup and what my hair is going to do,” she continued. “We want to play with it, but I have no idea what I’m going to do with it.”

The theme of this year’s Met Gala exhibition is “Sleeping Beauties: Awakening Fashion”, but it was announced in February 2024 that the dress code would be “The Garden of Time”, inspired by the short story of same name by JG Ballard from 1962. The event will be co-chaired by Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth.
