Fashion icon and trendsetter Rihanna is a familiar face at The Met, so fans were initially disappointed to hear that the expectant mother chose to skip this year’s event. However, in a surprising twist, she managed to steal the spotlight in her own unique way.
The Met, in collaboration with Vogue, unveiled a striking marble sculpture of a pregnant Rihanna, inspired by her recent magazine feature. This grand tribute was showcased at the star-studded affair, celebrating the “Gilded Glamour” theme of the evening. Celebrities donned extravagant outfits, with highlights like Kim Kardashian’s iconic Marilyn Monroe dress and Lizzo’s lavish $55,000 golden flute. Rihanna’s statue, however, perfectly resonated with the theme’s opulent vision.
“Shutting down the Met in marble! What’s more gilded than that? Lol! Huge thanks to The Met and Vogue for this historic tribute! Y’all are bad for this one!” the star expressed on her Instagram.
The sculpture was displayed in a museum hall filled with classical Greek and Roman works, with Rihanna’s statue standing proudly in the center, mirroring the floral ensemble from her Vogue cover shoot. Vogue noted, “The Statue of Eirene (The Personification of Peace) is usually the highlight of The Met’s Greco-Roman galleries. But now we’ve got Rihanna, straight off this month’s Vogue cover.”
In her third trimester, Rihanna stunned in a red laced Alaïa bodysuit, chosen to highlight her belief in positively redefining maternity fashion. “My body is doing incredible things right now, and I’m not going to be ashamed of that. This time should feel celebratory. Because why should you be hiding your pregnancy?” she stated in an interview with the magazine.
While it’s chic to attend in glamorous attire, Rihanna’s legendary absence made an even bigger impact. She is rumored to be due this month with her partner, A$AP Rocky, marking the couple’s first child.
