Met Gala 2022: Rihanna Honoured With 'Pregnant' Statue [Photos, Video]

Despite being heavily pregnant, world-famous singer Rihanna towered above the other celebrities by being honoured with a statue at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Adorned in all-black attire, the pop star was accompanied to the prestigious event by boyfriend A$AP Rocky who also looked regal in a rather unusual costume.

Responding to the special tribute, Rihanna took to her official Twitter account to express her excitement, thanking the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Vogue magazine for the honour.

"Shut down the Met in marble! What's more gilded than that? Lol! Thank you @metmuseum and @voguemagazine for this tribute!

"Y'all bad for this one!", the singer wrote.

Rihanna also accompanied the post with a short video showing the statue of her pregnant self alongside others. Check it out below:
