The 2026 Met Gala was meant to be a lavish celebration of where high fashion meets classical art, but much of the post-event buzz has centred on awkward celebrity moments instead of couture. South African singer Tyla has now shared her account of a brief, uncomfortable encounter with her idol, Rihanna, during the high-profile evening at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
However, the 'Water' singer was seemingly not happy with the encounter and was left disappointed after the 'Umbrella' hitmaker immediately left during a brief interaction. Tyla's recollection of the event has sparked a significant debate regarding the social dynamics of the industry's most elite circles.
