A$AP Rocky, who arrived fashionably late with Rihanna, first wore a multi-colored coat that resembled a quilted blanket. The outfit hails from the ERL spring 2022 collection by designer Russell Linnetz.

A$AP Rocky then later donned a more traditional black suit with an untucked white dress shirt underneath.

The Met Gala returned on Monday with the launch of the "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion" exhibit.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute will next present a larger gala on May 2, 2022 for the launch of the "In America: An Anthology of Fashion" exhibit.

Billie Eilish, Timothée Chalamet, Naomi Osaka and Amanda Gorman served as co-chairs for the 2021 Met Gala. Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, designer Tom Ford and Instagram head Adam Mosseri served as honorary chairs.

Rihanna recently made headlines for reaching billionaire status. The 33-year-old singer is worth $1.7 billion according to Forbes, primarily from her Fenty Beauty makeup line.
