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.

The singer added to her look with an intricate beaded head-piece, while a distinctive statement choker necklace rounded things off. 

The event was arranged by nightlife mogul Richie Akiva at a secret location, the New York Post’s Page Six reports. 

Following last year’s cancellation and delays to this year’s event – which is traditionally held in May – sources claim hopeful guests have been ‘begging’ for an invite to Rihanna’s soiree, at the expense of other events.

The custom garment, which was curated by Demna Gvasalia, had a dramatic collar that crept up behind the singer’s neck, as well a cinch at the calves creating a mermaid-style look.

Rihanna, who was paying homage to ‘all-American style’ with her monochromatic look, accessorized with a diamond statement necklace.

As for makeup, the singer oozed 1920s elegance with thin, rounded eyebrows and a bold berry lip.
