Rihanna Confirms Her Attendance at 2025 Met Gala as Partner A$AP Rocky Is Set to Co-Chair

Rihanna is set to attend the 2025 Met Gala, accompanied by her longtime boyfriend A$AP Rocky as he co-chairs the iconic event.

Talking to Party tonight On Thursday, Oct. 24, the 36-year-old Fenty Beauty owner revealed that she doesn’t yet know her and the rapper’s exact fashion plans, but confirmed that they will indeed be in attendance on May 5, 2025, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

– He didn’t tell me anything – she revealed. “All we planned to do was be there.”

“I’m not worried about him. I’m worried about what I’m going to do,” she laughed and added that Rocky is always willing to help her come up with fashion plans for big events like these.

I never ask him for help, but he is always willing to help, she continued. “You can come to him even if you’re an opp and say, ‘Can you help me with my project, give me advice?’ And he’ll give you advice, I’ve seen it.”

Co-chairs of the 2025 Met Gala are Rocky, Colman Domingo, F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour, along with honorary chair LeBron James. The lineup is a mix of Met Gala veterans as well as newcomers, who will pay tribute to the Costume Institute’s spring 2025 exhibition, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”

Per Voguethe exhibition draws inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves of Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diaspora Identity and the will “features clothing, paintings, photographs and more — exploring the indelible style of black men in the context of dandyism, from the 18th century to the present day.” Miller will serve as guest curator for the exhibition with Costume Institute Chief Curator Andrew Bolton.

According to VogueMiller said dapper can be defined as “dressing smart and well.” She also described it as a “strategy and tool for rethinking identity, for reinventing yourself in a different context. Really push the line—especially during slavery, really push the line on who and what even counts as a human being.”

A$AP Rocky also had a handful of memorable Met Gala appearances. In 2021, he debuted alongside Rihanna in a massive multicolored quilt. In 2023, the couple made their mark and once again covered the red carpet in looks that paid tribute to the late Karl Lagerfeld.

Rihanna wore a massive white Maison Valentino gown with a long, sweeping train and a matching cape covered in textured rosettes. She completed the look with opera-like fingerless gloves and a pair of white sunglasses with false eyelashes attached.

The rapper wore a Gucci look that included a black blazer, a white collared shirt and a red plaid pleated kilt layered over a pair of flared jeans, a direct reference to a similar look Lagerfeld wore to the closing of Chanel’s 2004 fashion show.
