A$AP Rocky created chaos when he plowed through a crowd of clamoring fans and jumped over a barricade to gain entry into the Met Gala on Monday, May 1, 2023.

We’re still gagging over #Rihanna’s (very) fashionably late arrival. The Maison Valentino silk white gown – with a 16ft train – and a silk white cape with 30 camellias and 500 petals and 25 leaves was the ultimate salute to Karl Lagerfeld & Chanel.

Despite the fact that Rihanna mesmerized fashion connoisseurs, Rocky’s mystifying and rather brusque entry remained one of pop culture’s talking points Tuesday morning.
