She came with a beanie, a boyfriend, and a voluminous structured gown that could double as a parka. But Riri's surprises for the evening weren't confined to the Met's steps. After the gala, the music/beauty/fashion mogul hosted a fête of her own, and it came with a fitting outfit change. Rihanna was photographed outside her after-party wearing a cropped black t-shirt, an embellished roaring '20s-esque headwrap encasing her braids and loose curls, and a fully sheer floor-sweeping maxiskirt (which the lingerie designer paired with a black thong). The evening's MVP accessorized with layered necklaces, a series of glittering rings and bracelets, black sandals with bedazzled ankle straps, and even a furry bling-fringed clutch. Rihanna.
