Let’s be honest: Rihanna and A$AP Rocky both brought it at Monday night’s (May 4) 2026 Met Gala. The always fashionable couple, who share three young children, enjoyed a rare night out at the glitzy event. Arriving fashionably late, Rihanna stunned in a custom sculpted bronze Maison Margiela gown by Glenn Martens, featuring a draped column silhouette crafted from woven silk and recycled computer wire-like threads, topped with an Art Deco-inspired headpiece.
Rocky complemented her look perfectly, wearing a custom Chanel by Matthieu Blazy wool pink robe with black satin lapels and black piping, layered over a crisp white cotton shirt and black trousers.
When Variety asked Rocky to describe Rihanna’s look, he didn’t hesitate, looking over at his longtime partner and saying, “she’s shining like a diamond… she’s shining.” The rapper cleverly interpolated the chorus from the singer’s 2012 hit “Diamonds” from her seventh studio album, Unapologetic. When a reporter later asked Rocky, 37, how it feels to be “loved by a Black woman,” the rapper offered another heartfelt quip: “it feels amazing, and don’t nothin’ else compare. You hear me?”
The couple made their usual splash at the event, which was co-chaired by Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour. This appearance follows a significant milestone from the 2025 Met Gala, where Rocky served as a co-chair and Rihanna surprised the world by revealing she was expecting their third child, daughter Rocki Irish Mayers, who was born in September.
They were joined by a galaxy of music stars who graced the carpet this year, including Madonna, BLACKPINK’s Lisa, Rosé, Jisoo and Jennie, SZA, Sam Smith, Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams, Laufey, Cher, Janelle Monáe, Doechii, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Katy Perry, Doja Cat, Cardi B, Bad Bunny, Ciara, Jon Batiste, Maluma, Charli xcx, Tate McRae, Anderson .Paak, sombr, Tyla, and Jack Harlow.
