Stars Align for 2025 Met Gala with Rihanna, Diana Ross, A$AP Rocky

Rihanna made a highly anticipated return to the Met Gala circuit in 2025, first making a statement at Anna Wintour's exclusive pre-Gala dinner with an androgynous, tailored pinstripe suit accented by a dramatic fur-lined train and bold accessories. Her appearance generated significant buzz, as it marks her first Met Gala participation since 2023, following her absence last year due to illness. Rihanna's partner, A$AP Rocky, is among the 2025 Met Gala co-chairs, further fueling interest in the couple’s coordinated style. The pre-Gala festivities also saw other stars like Serena Williams and Cynthia Erivo embracing the event's theme, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' with standout, fashion-forward looks. Rihanna's consistent influence and status as a Met Gala icon have made her attendance one of the most anticipated moments of the evening.
