The much-awaited Met Gala 2024 event, one of the grand fashion evenings, is finally taking place in New York City, on the first Monday of May. This year’s theme has been inspired by the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s latest exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” The dress code for the event is called “The Garden of Time.”
Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Demi Lovato dazzled at the Met Gala event with perfectly synced dresses. However, fans are eagerly waiting for Rihanna to arrive. There is a viral picture on X (formerly Twitter) claiming to be Rihanna’s Met Gala 2024 evening look, but it is unclear if the picture is authentic or if AI generated it.

The pop icon recently debuted a new bubble gum hairstyle at her boyfriend A$AP Rocky’s Puma collaboration event.

A$AP Rocky also sported a colorful outfit, wearing a motorsport-inspired shirt, jean shorts, and neon green shoes that complemented his partner’s bold style.
Fans are excitedly anticipating the singer’s appearance at the 2024 Met Gala event, hosted by Anna Wintour and co-chaired by celebrities such as Bad Bunny, Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, and Chris Hemsworth.
