Just when we thought Rihanna wasn't going to show up to the Met Gala, she arrived on the red carpet fashionably late.

And Rihanna made sure to go bold for her first Met Gala in three years.

The Fenty founder wore black from head to toe for the "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion" theme, sporting a couture Balenciaga coatdress designed by the brand's creative director Demna Gvasalia, according to Vogue.

Rihanna's full-length, puffy coat featured a dramatic collar. She paired the ensemble with a beanie hat, a crystal headpiece, and a glittering diamond necklace.

In a rare move for the beauty mogul, Rihanna walked the red carpet and posed for photographs with her boyfriend A$AP Rocky.

The rapper wore a patterned multicolored quilt - which featured yellow, blue, red, green, and brown squares - designed by ERL that stood in complete contrast to Rihanna's monochromatic ensemble.

He later took off the quilt to reveal a suit underneath, much to Rihanna's delight.

Rihanna - who is expected to host an after-party for Monday's event, according to Page Six - hasn't appeared at the Met Gala since 2018, when she wowed in an outfit inspired by the pope.

Her sparkling ensemble, which took 250 hours to sew and 500 hours to hand-embroider, perfectly fit the "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination" theme.
