Pop superstar Rihanna showed up late as usual but shut down the Met Gala red carpet on Monday. At first, she arrived in a magnificent white Valentino gown with a jacket covered in 3D white floral motifs. She then stripped the jacket down into a shrug flaunting her baby bump. The floor-sweeping train, fingerless gloves and sleek hairdo complemented the look. (Photo | AP)

The fact that Doja Cat understood the assignment would be an understatement. The US rapper did not disappoint as she wore a gown that featured cat ears, while sporting facial prosthetics to give herself more cat-like features. She honoured the late Karl Lagerfeld in a very unique way — by dressing as his legendary beloved white Burmese cat, Choupette. Her glittering silver dress was designed by Oscar de la Renta and featured a dramatic ruffled train. She then finished her look by accessorising with some equally dazzling jewellery. (Photo | AP)
