Nevertheless, the two still received attention as the "last bosses" at the fashion party, wearing extremely daring outfits that caught everyone's eye.

Pregnant Rihanna wore an impressive white dress from Valentino, adorned with enormous floral patterns. The Diamonds singer also donned fingerless gloves - a favorite accessory of designer Karl Lagerfeld - which fit perfectly with the theme of this year's Met Gala. Afterward, the singer "played it cool" by taking off her coat, revealing her bulging belly.

Rihanna has always received special treatment from Anna Wintour - the editor-in-chief of Vogue and co-chair of the Met Gala.

In 2022, when Rihanna did not attend the Met Gala because she was pregnant, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and Vogue collaborated to create a statue to honor the singer.

The statue was sculpted in the likeness of the singer on the cover of Vogue magazine when she showed off her baby bump.
