Rihanna is What We've All Been Waiting For At The 2017 Met Gala

So it looks like we can all pack up, go home and call the 2017 Met Gala a total and utter success. Why? Becasue Rihanna has just entered the building — and shut it down.

Word to the wise: Never dare question her style icon status.

Bad Gal RiRi went full throttle with the avant-garde theme of the night in a killer fall 2016 Comme de Garcons gown and red lace-up sandals that made her look like a walking bouquet of flowers.

She clearly knows she’s nailed this moment as she walks into the venue with a strut that’s the equivalent of a mic drop.

Not only did she nail the ensemble, but her high ponytail and face-framing bangs completed the look.

Yet again, we’re in awe of Rihanna’s dedication and effortless execution when it comes to style.
