This is why Rihanna wasn't at the Met Gala 2019
Lady Gaga and Celine Dion won the Met Gala 2019 red carpet last night, interpreting the Camp theme with hot pink ballgowns, props, beads and sequin headdresses.
But let's be honest, had Rihanna been there, she would've blown them all out of the water. She did dress like the Pope last year, lest we forget.
To say the internet was devastated that she didn't make it is an understatement, and naturally people questioned why the singer wasn't there.
But don't worry, she's not turned her back to the Met Gala forever, it simply looks like she was away for work, in the UK to be precise.
Judging by her Instagram, RiRi was launching her beauty brand Fenty Beauty at Boots.
So there you have it, I'm sure she'll be back on top form again next year.
