  For the 59th GRAMMY Awards, Rihanna opted for a two-piece instead of a traditional gown and she pulled it off. The top was an orange lace halter and the bottom was a long black draped velvet ballroom skirt. The style was very Rihanna as it showed off her iconic wing tattoo. She switched up her hair and wore effortless waves in an auburn brown color with reddish highlights. The singer was nominated for nine GRAMMYs including Album of the Year, and Record of the Year.

  The two-piece style is never a miss in Rihanna's closet so it's a no-brainer why she chose the style again for the Met Gala in 2014. The theme that year was "Charles James: Beyond Fashion." For her top, the singer wore a white long-sleeved cropped blouse cut on an angle with jewels on the collar. In the same material, the singer opted for a long skirt with minimal ruched detailing. Her hair was in an updo and pulled stylized with waves for an effortless effect.

  For the 2015 Met Gala, Rihanna showed that she was not there to play. The theme of that year's Gala was  "China: Through The Looking Glass" and from head-to-toe Rihanna not only stayed on theme but was one of the best dressed of the night. She wore a yellow gown with a high slit, jeweled embroidery and fur. She accessorized with a four-tiered gold necklace and diamond studded earrings. The embroidery was made into a headpiece which the singer donned with her iconic short red hair. While her previous year's look stayed more on the safe side but was still effortless, she chose to put her mark down on someone to keep their eyes on for the Met Gala carpet with this look.

  If you didn't already suspect it, Rihanna is the Queen of the Met Gala but in 2018 she proved it with a crown inweaved into her show-stopping look. For the 2018 Met Gala, which theme was "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & The Catholic Imagination," Rihanna head-to-toe embodied a queen. She wore a short bustier topped dress with black and white pearls all-over. The jewels were then copied onto her long coat which had puffed sleeves and a cuffed wrist. What made the look all come together was her take on a Pope's hat which also had the white and black pearls throughout. She accessorized with a matching clutch and black glittery pumps.

  The amount of detail in this look is absolutely Rihanna-coded. The theme for the 2017 Met Gala was "Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between." Rihanna looked as though she bloomed from a garden with her pink and blue petaled dress. The dress ever so slightly showed off a part of her midriff and had patterns of pink, blue, and floral throughout. However, her makeup alone could have carried any dress. The over the top pink blush from the apples of her cheeks, into her eyebrows and over her eyelids was a masterpiece in its own. She accessorized the look with with hot pink knee-high strapped sandals, a diamond encrusted watch, and top-knot bun with full bangs.
