Rihanna

The 2017 Met Gala saw many stars, but Rihanna blossomed above all, evoking the splendor of a radiant flower in full bloom. Swathed in a Comme des Garçons masterpiece, she was art in motion, with her gown’s layered floral fabrics unfolding like the petals of an exotic bloom. This wasn’t just a nod to the 18th-century “punks” but a bold embrace of avant-garde fashion.

The theme, “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between,” paid homage to the genius of the Japanese maven known for pushing boundaries, and Rihanna, with her fearless fashion choices, proved to be the night’s perfect muse, showcasing innovation at its finest.
