Rihanna kept the party going on Monday evening as she hosted a post Met Gala soiree at an undisclosed venue in New York City.
The Bajan star, 33, was among a host of stars to attend this year’s much delayed event at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, cancelled in 2020 as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ensuring she caught the eye after trading her dramatic black gown for a simple short-sleeved top and matching sheer skirt, Rihanna was first in as the after-party got underway.
