This is what everybody came for.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky made a grand entrance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Met Gala in New York City May 4, marking their first carpet appearance since they survived a shooting at their Los Angeles home in March.
At the charity event, the nine-time Grammy winner honored the theme of “Costume Art” by wearing a Maison Margiela creation featuring over 115,000 crystal beads and antique jewels. The bodiced gown—sculpted by hand with a bronze hooded cape—took over ook 1,380 hours to make, according to Vogue.
Meanwhile, her partner—father to their son RZA, 3, son Riot, 2, and daughter Rocki, 7 months—donned a pink wool pink robe with black satin lapels and matching piping custom designed by Chanel. (See all the celebrity fashion looks here.)
As always, Rihanna was one of the most anticipated arrivals at the annual fundraising event. After all, the 38-year-old is known for her head turning looks—and turning up last minute to close out the show.
