These Met Gala Entrances Will Make Your Jaw Drop

The singer and Fenty Beauty mogul stunned on the red carpet in this Guo Pei gown for the 2015 Met Gala. The theme of the gala was “China: Through the Looking Glass.” And as Rihanna noted in a 2020 interview with Access, even fashion icons can get pre-show jitters.

“I remember being so scared to get out of that car because I felt like, ‘I’m doing too much,'” she recalled to the outlet. “I was driving past the red carpet, and I was just seeing, like, gowns, and I was like, ‘Oh my god, like, I’m a clown. People are going to laugh at me. This is, like, too much.’ I thought that. I circled, like, three times, I’m not even joking. And finally, I was like, ‘Whatever, let’s go. Let’s just go….’ I don’t regret it.’ 

The internet was buzzing over her incredible look. And while the gown also inspired a number of memes, Rihanna could laugh at those, too.

“The frying pan with the egg,” she added, “legendary.”
