No-Show! So This Is The Reason Rihanna Wasn’t At Last Night’s Met Gala
We know why she was absent.
She’s had some amazing looks throughout the years but one of our fave-o pop starlets was notably absent from last night’s Met Gala.
Back in February she missed the Grammys too, so what gives? Why has one of pop’s biggest names been a no-show at some of the most star-studded events of the year so far?
Well, apparently it’s all down to her hectic touring schedule, and right now Rihanna’s actually on the West Coast, getting ready for performances in California.
In total the singer is set to perform 40 dates worldwide, from February right through to August so it’s hardly surprising that she wasn’t able to squeeze in an appearance at last night’s ball.
Thankfully, a few Rihanna impersonators give us a taste of Rihanna’s killer Met Gala style, showcasing some of her best looks in Time Square yesterday.
