Fans of fashion and celebrity gossip both have good reason to get excited this Monday as the red carpet is rolled out for the annual Met Gala.
The star-studded event is a veritable playground for the rich and famous when it comes to fashion, but few ever have as much fun – or get people talking – as Rihanna.
Over the past decade, the singer and beauty entrepreneur has made herself the true queen of the Met Ball thanks to her breathtaking fashion choices — and all indications are that we’ll get another RiRi moment on the red carpet this year.
So while we wait for all the red carpet photos from the 2024 Met Ball (including Rihanna’s own!), here’s our definitive ranking of the looks the musician has worn to the Met Gala over the years…
10. 2007 – Poiret: king of fashion
Fresh off the success of her then-recent single Umbrella, Rihanna attended her very first Met Gala in 2007 (still sporting the Good Girl Gone Bad hairstyle, no less).
We have to be honest: this outfit isn’t exactly one for the history books, especially when compared to how groundbreaking Rihanna’s fashion choices would become in the years that followed.
Still, even though we weren’t blown away by the white dress, we still have to give a shout-out to those gloves, which do add something to the outfit.
9. 2011 – Alexander McQueen: Savage BeAuty
Again, this isn’t our favorite Rihanna look by any means, but we’re really loving this red fish braid moment.
What keeps this outfit from being at the bottom of the list is that the dress is a lot more innovative than it seems at first glance, although you have to see it…
…from all angles to get the full effect.
8. 2012 – Schiaparelli and Prada: impossible conversations
She certainly stepped things up the next year, didn’t she?
In sleek black snakeskin, this look is definitely more reminiscent of ‘Rihanna, the Fashion Icon’ that would appear in the not-too-distant future after this was created.
But while this outfit is a little too simple to rank higher than eighth on our final rankings, we still have to give her props for the cool material (and of course, her fabulous hairdo).
7. 2014 – Charles James: Beyond Fashion
Another very beautiful outfit from Rihanna. What we love most about her 2014 ensemble is how youthful, fresh and pleasure It is, especially at an event where we secretly suspect there will be little laughter.
Of course, having fun with fashion would eventually become RiRi’s forte, as we’ll discover later in this list…
6. 2022: In America: a lexicon of fashion
This outfit may not be to everyone’s taste, but if anyone on earth can pull off this massive Balenciaga coat with a matching bejeweled hat, it’s Rihanna — and we’re big fans of the makeup and jewelry.
In 2021, Rih walked the red carpet with A$AP Rocky, marking their very first public appearance as a couple, and within a few months, the We Found Love singer would confirm that she was expecting their first child.
