Rihanna and the Met Gala go collectively like Michaelangelo and paint—like fruit and ocean water. So I used to be as disillusioned as anybody after I realized that the Queen of the Met steps wouldn’t be attending Monday night’s annual occasion.
Certain, she had a good excuse (she’s very pregnant in the intervening time). I received’t maintain it towards her, if solely as a result of she’s served take care of look within the months since saying her being pregnant.
However wait…what’s this? Rihanna on the Met Gala—in marble? Er, form of.
Late Monday night time, the singer shared a video to Instagram of digitally created statue in her likeness showcased amongst different invaluable artworks.
“Shut down the Met in marble!” she wrote within the caption of a video exhibiting her pregnant type ceaselessly preserved in (digital) stone. “What’s extra gilded than that?”

This content material may also be considered on the positioning it originates from.
“Thanks @metmuseum and @voguemagazine for this historic tribute!” she went on. “Y’all unhealthy for this one!”
Vogue offered additional particulars on Instagram, writing, “‘Eirene (The Personification of Peace)’ is often the highest-profile marble goddess @themetmuseum Greco-Roman galleries. However now we’ve acquired @badgalriri.”
