In the least surprising news of the Met Gala, Rihanna is pregnant with her third! She’s been “hiding” her third baby bump for a few months now but of course her fans knew what was happening. She’s trying to get a girl, everyone is convinced of that. So R3 is another Rihanna-Rocky baby. Ahead of the gala, Rihanna gave the exclusive to one of her favorite paparazzi, and then hours later, she rocked up to the gala late! Rihanna’s light blue ensemble just ahead of the gala was Miu Miu. The actual gala look was a custom Marc Jacobs!
Rihanna’s partner ASAP Rocky was one of the co-chairs. I thought they would make a grand entrance together, but no – he walked the carpet alone in his custom AWGE look (which he said he pretty much designed himself), complete with a bejeweled “pistol” cane. Rocky and Rihanna posed together inside. He looks pleased – I think he enjoys fatherhood so much, and he and Rihanna are really solid. On the carpet, he talked about how they share clothes too and how Rihanna is always stealing his stuff.

She looks insanely gorgeous in that pap shot. And I love her Met look.
Didn’t think ASAP’s look was all that, the pistol prop is in particularly poor taste, but maybe I’m just a prude.
I also thought the glorification of gun culture to be in poor taste.
Another “prop gun” I guess. And yes, it is in poor taste.
Rihanna & Rocky are cute together.
Best looking couple was Usher & Mrs. U.
