Unfortunately, Rihanna had to miss the 2024 Met Gala due to the flu, especially after her memorable appearance alongside A$AP Rocky at the previous year’s event. Her unique style and presence were certainly missed on the red carpet despite her absence.
Rihanna’s Absence at the 2024 Met Gala:
Rihanna’s absence at this year’s event comes after she and A$AP Rocky—with whom she shares kids RZA, 23 months, and Riot, eight months—shut down the Met Gala 2023 red carpet as a couple.
Last year, Rihanna made headlines with her stunning look honoring the late designer Karl Lagerfeld, and fans were undoubtedly eager to see what she had in store for this year’s “Garden of Time” dress code.
Rihanna’s Teased Look and Reasoning:
Although she couldn’t attend, Rihanna teased that her outfit would have been unexpected, showcasing her signature bold and innovative fashion choices. Even though she couldn’t make it to the event, Rihanna emphasized that as a mom, she prioritizes her time and energy wisely.
