VIDEO: Cockroach slaying on MET Gala 2023 red carpet gets stepped on and died

Cockroach slaying on MET Gala 2023 red carpet gets stepped on and died.

Rihanna sparked rumors she would be attending the Met Gala when she was seen in Paris, wearing vintage Fendi designed by Lagerfeld. Rihanna spent the last week in the French city with Rocky and their son.

Throughout both of her pregnancies, Rihanna has sought to redefine what maternity style can be. She told Bustle in March 2022 that during her first pregnancy, her goal was to be “maybe…rebellious” with her wardrobe.

Rihanna, 35, might well be the annual event’s most anticipated arrival at this point. Over the years, she’s attended in iconic looks ranging from a pope-inspired Maison Margiela Artisanal ensemble (for 2018’s “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” gala) to a petal-covered Comme des Garçons creation (for 2017’s “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between” ball).

And who could possibly forget the jaw-dropping yellow Guo Pei gown she chose for 2015’s “China: Through the Looking Glass”-themed carpet. 

The “Love on the Brain” star stunned in a bridal-esque white Valentino ensemble featuring a flower-adorned cape, dramatic train and false eyelash-adorned sunglasses.

For his part, A$AP Rocky went comparatively casual — at least on the bottom half — as he sported a Gucci suit jacket and a plaid kilt layered over a pair of shimmering jeans.

She continued, “When I saw women dress during their pregnancy [in the past], I’d think that that was the only way. So I challenged myself to push it further and really just have fun with [maternity style]. Because there’s nothing more fun than a challenge for me. Like that’s where I get creative. That’s where I’m forced to come up with new ideas and new ways to make it work.”

She added of her fashion outlook, “It’s been me personally saying, ‘I’m not going to buy maternity clothes. I’m not gonna buy maternity pants, jeans, dresses, or [do] whatever society told me to do before.’”

Though she arrived long after the carpet wrapped, Ri (and A$AP Rocky) made it worth every minute. Her monochromatic white look included huge flowers that she also wore as a hood in some shots and long sleeves over a white ballgown. She added white sunglasses to her look and red lips as she continued to make her own rules when it comes to maternity wear. The gown was so big that it spanned many of the Met steps (something Ri is very used to) and Rihanna made sure that all eyes were on her as she disappeared into the party and officially shut down the red carpet.
