Feast your eyes on Rihanna’s fashionably late entrances at Met Gala over the years
Rihanna attended 2025’s Met Gala for eleventh time

Rihanna is considered a Met Gala staple at this point, with the American pop star and fashionista having walked up the Metropolitan Museum’s stairs eleven times already.
However, out of those eleven occasions, the Umbrella singer showed up rather late at the prestigious gathering a reported four times.
That includes this year’s appearance when she strutted down the blue carpet at the Met ball, on the way up to the iconic steps.
Reportedly, her fashionably late appearances are in fact approved by Vogue’s editor-in-chief and Met co-chair Anna Wintour, so she gets to enjoy a free pass.
Check out all the times Rihanna has kept her fans waiting to catch a glimpse of her at the Met Gala, below:
