Met Gala 2024: Singer-actor Rihanna, who is known to close the MET Gala, skipped it this year at the last minute. Despite being known as someone who arrives fashionably late, Riri couldn’t make it this time as she was reportedly sick with flu following an appearance in Miami over the weekend for the Formula 1 race.
Earlier, in an interview obtained by People magazine, Rihanna shared her plans for the prestigious event, scheduled to take place on May 6, 2024, in New York City. "I`m actually keeping it real simple this year. ... It`s gonna come to what my makeup and what my hair is going to do," the 36-year-old pop star revealed, hinting at a minimalist approach to her Met Gala look.
