The singer and Fenty Beauty mogul also chatted about what she says is going to be “amazing” new music: “It has to be — that is the only reason it’s not out yet.”
During the launch event for her Fenty Beauty Soft’lit Foundation in Los Angeles, Rihanna teased her upcoming appearance at the Met Gala, an event always eagerly anticipated by fans. “I’m actually just keeping it real simple this year,” the 36-year-old singer and beauty mogul shared with Extra on the red carpet. “I think it’s gonna come down to what my makeup and hair are going to do,” she elaborated. “We want to experiment with that, but I haven’t decided on a specific look yet.”
Rihanna’s Met Gala choices often dominate discussions and garner widespread attention on social media. Last year, the singer made waves with her stunning appearance on the Karl Lagerfeld-themed red carpet. She donned a Valentino gown adorned with camellia flowers, paying homage to Lagerfeld’s iconic style.
Completing the look with fingerless gloves, Rihanna captivated onlookers with her fashion-forward ensemble.
In addition to her fashion ventures, Rihanna also shared insights about her music plans in an interview with Extra. She expressed enthusiasm for her upcoming music projects, emphasizing her desire for them to be remarkable. “It has to be — that is the only reason it’s not out yet,” she explained.
Rihanna highlighted her aspiration for growth in her music, viewing it as a playground for creativity and self-expression. While she isn’t particularly fond of musical collaborations, she emphasized the importance of intentionality when they do occur.
The 2024 Met Gala is scheduled for May 6 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This year’s Costume Institute exhibition theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” promises an evening filled with creativity and innovation.
Hosted by Zendaya, Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, and Chris Hemsworth, the gala’s dress code, “The Garden of Time,” draws inspiration from a J.G. Ballard short story. Vogue’s Anna Wintour has emphasized the theme of “fleeting beauty,” encouraging guests to reflect this concept in their attire.
