One thing’s for sure, two things for certain: Rihanna is always worth the wait. The mother of the Navy and the mother of the Fenty babies made a tardy but flashy and glamorous appearance on the 2023 Met Gala red carpet. One thing about Rih Rih is that she runs on her own time, granted, but she will always put a serious case to be the Belle of the Ball. This year, she did not disappoint and we can confidently say it was worth the wait.

Rihanna walked the red carpet sporting a behemoth wedding dress with a cape made of 500 petals. To match, she paired the look pair of playful white sunglasses decorated with false eyelashes over them.

However, it all went uphill when she removed the shades to reveal a cold and frosty but ethereal eye makeup look. As the founder of Fenty Beauty, it was only natural that the “Diamonds” singer was going to serve us a major full beat. It was also no surprise that her Fenty Beauty Global Makeup Artist, Priscilla Ono, was behind it all. For this special occasion, they decided to go for something fresh and fun, a look that would be sure to turn heads.
