The 2023 Met Gala, known for its extravagant fashion moments, saw the absence of some of its most iconic attendees from previous years. Fashion enthusiasts were left longing for the presence of several notable celebrities who have graced the green carpet in the past.
One of the most significant absences was that of Rihanna, who has delivered some of the most memorable Met Gala looks in recent memory. Her past appearances, such as the stunning yellow Guo Pei cape in 2015 and the incredible gem-encrusted mitre hat from John Galliano, have solidified her status as a fashion icon at the event.
