Rihanna has revealed that she will be attending the 2024 Met Gala and has already chosen her outfit. She shared in an interview with Extra that she plans to keep it simple this year, focusing more on her makeup and hair. The 36-year-old singer expressed her excitement to experiment with different looks for the event.
Rihanna hinted that her outfit for the annual benefit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art will be more modest than her previous looks. She mentioned that she is attending the event for dinner and gave a shout-out to Anna Wintour.
Each May, the renowned Vogue editor Wintour, aged 74, organizes the yearly Costume Institute fundraiser to help the iconic New York City museum. She selects a theme for the event and urges all guests to dress according to it. This year's theme is "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" with a dress code inspired by a "Garden of Time."

While it is not known what Rihanna’s dress will look like — she told Extra she is down to two options — she is sharing how she will accessorize it.
Rihanna hinted to Vogue that she will be wearing something from her Fenty fashion empire - Fenty Beauty, Fenty Skin, and Fenty Savage. However, the outfit is expected to be modest and not too revealing.
Rihanna shared with Vogue that she has experienced a lot in her life, including moments where she bared her nipples and showed her panties. As a mother and a more mature woman, she now feels there are certain things she would never do again, reflecting on her past actions with a sense of disbelief.
In May 2022, Rihanna became a mother for the first time when she welcomed her son RZA with partner ASAP Rocky. Less than a year later, at the 2023 Super Bowl, the "Diamonds" singer announced that she was expecting her second child. By May 2023, she proudly displayed her baby bump at the Met Gala while wearing a stunning Valentino gown. In August 2023, Rihanna and Rocky welcomed their second son, Riot Rose, into the world.
