Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Continue Tradition of Being Fashionably Late as They Close Out the 2026 Met Gala

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are here and ready to put fashion to work. The red carpet mainstays, 38, and 37, arrived on the Met steps on May 4 in typical fashion — late! For the 2026 Met Gala, where the theme is "Costume Art," Rihanna ascended the stairs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art wearing a dramatic Maison Margiela gown that was so aesthetically pleasing that her unprompted arrival was worth every minute of waiting.
