When it comes to style, singer/entrepreneur Rihanna never disappoints. And one of the places where she always shines is the Met Gala (aka the Super Bowl of Fashion). She and her partner, A$AP Rocky, always understand the assignment and leave us with head-turning looks we can’t stop talking about.

Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, Anna Wintour, and Zendaya are this year’s co-chairs for this year’s event, which takes place on May 6 in New York City. We can’t wait to see how mama RiRi interprets the theme, “The Garden of Time.”

But alas, we must. So while we wait to see what she blesses us with at this year’s Met Gala, let’s look back at some of our favorite Rihanna red carpet moments.

The theme was Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty at the Met Gala 2023, and Rihanna nailed it in this stunning gown with floral accents.
