Saudi Arabia-based Argentine model Georgina Rodriguez wore a black satin gown with lace detailing along the neckline and waist. The dress featured a thigh-high slit and a floor-length train. She accessorized her look with pointed black heels and a diamond necklace.
This year's Met Gala marks two major milestones: it is the first to spotlight Black designers, and the first in over two decades to center on menswear. The theme was inspired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art's spring exhibition, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.'

Rihanna closed out the evening in signature fashion, revealing her newly announced baby bump. Her Marc Jacobs look included tied sleeves of a men's suit that served as a bustle behind her as she posed for the cameras.
A$AP Rocky, who is both co-chair and the father of Rihanna's child, responded to congratulations on the carpet. 'It feels amazing. It's time that we show the people what we was cooking up. And I'm glad everybody's happy for us 'cause we definitely happy, you know,' he told reporters on the red carpet.
