Rihanna & A$AP Rocky's Met Gala Outfits Receive Negative Reviews
Over the last few years, the "Disturbia" singer has become one of the handful of celebrities whom people look forward to seeing at the Met Gala. She's well known for using styling teams and professionals who come together to assemble extravagant looks that are on-theme. Now that she's been in a long-term, committed relationship with musician A$AP Rocky, they've become a super stylish couple.
The parents-of-three made one of their rare red carpet appearances together since welcoming their new baby, a girl named Rocki, at this year's Met Gala, whose theme was "Fashion Is Art" for the museum's "Costume Art." Rihanna wore an extravagant, metallic sculptural gown that extended behind her shoulders and around her torso, and was covered in bejeweled fabric. A$AP Rocky wore an oversized baby pink coat with a classic suit and bowtie underneath.
Though they usually get lots of praise for their style, social media didn't react to their outfits for this year with kindness.
"She's definitely had better Met looks!" wrote a user on Reddit. "This one isn't bad, but she's had such high highs that it's a little disappointing."
"It's a miss, and it's not on theme," added another.

Despite being all smiles on the red carpet, there were so many cameras around the couple of five years, capturing moments after they left the big event as well. At one point, they seemed to catch a tense moment between them in a car.
Outside their hotel, paparazzi filmed Rihanna and A$AP inside their large car before they exited and went into the lobby. The two had serious expressions on their face, making the situation seem a bit tense, and some social media users are speculating that the pop star was upset her partner was getting friendly with other women on the red carpet.
"She was tired and irritated," wrote an Instagram user under a video of Rihanna posing alone as A$AP Rocky talks to another woman in the background.
"She was uncomfortable trying to hold it together," added another. "These celebrity relationships are never what they seem."
"She needs to leave him," suggested a user, with another writing, "He keeps being too friendly."
