Rihanna Wasn’t at the 2019 Met Gala and Fans Aren’t Happy
Over the years, Rihanna is one of the stars that Met Gala fans always look out for. And who could blame them? Time after time, she has blown everyone away with some of the best, most unique and eye-catching looks at the New York City event.
However, this year many of us were disappointed to find out that she didn't show up to the "Camp: Notes on Fashion" party. And many members of the Rihanna Navy hopped to on twitter to express their sadness about her absence.
Then the photo below started to pop up on the socials, and RiRi's fans started going wild. Many thought that she secretly snuck in and came to the Monday night's party (May 6). Unfortunately, it wasn't a real photo from the 2019 Met Gala.
But that doesn't mean she ignored it altogether. Rihanna made sure to show love for Anna Wintour.
Based on her social media and the web speculation, RiRi was in London for her Fenty Beauty launch in the UK.
