All eyes were on Rihanna [1] and A$AP Rocky when they arrived at the 2023 Met Gala on 1 May — especially because they kept fans and photographers waiting, showing up hours after many other celebrities entered the event. The couple stuck to this year's theme [2], paying homage to the late Karl Lagerfeld with their outfits. A$AP Rocky wore a kilt over a pair of crystal-covered jeans, with several Gucci belts and a blazer and skinny black leather tie, the top half reminiscent of Lagerfeld's signature style. Rihanna [3] opted to cover her baby bump with a large flower-covered, hooded coat [4] and bridal-looking skirt.
It's an exciting time for Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, who are currently expecting their second child [5]. The 35-year-old Fenty mogul now famously revealed her pregnancy during this year's NFL Super Bowl halftime show [6]. The newborn will join the couple's son [7], whose name still has not been publicly revealed.
Speaking to British Vogue [8] in February, Rihanna said that she feels her son has strengthened her bond with A$AP Rocky, whom she's been dating since 2020 [9]. "We're best friends with a baby," she told the publication. "We have to be on the same page, but we've always kind of had that in our relationship. Everything changes when you have a baby but I wouldn't say it's done anything but made us closer."
