ASAP Rocky was spotted leaping over the barricade at the Carlyle Hotel ahead of Monday’s Met Gala.
The moment went down just a few hours before the prestigious event, with a packed crowd already clustered at the hotel entrance in anticipation of the event’s annual red carpet. In a video captured showing Rocky’s arrival, the Harlem rapper can be seen gently pushing his way through the crowd, before putting his hand on a woman’s head to help him mount the barrier.
ASAP Rocky eventually hit the Gala’s red carpet, with Rihanna, who donned a gorgeous white dress and appeared to be very pregnant with the couple’s second child. The night’s theme, “A Line of Beauty,” honored the late German designer Karl Lagerfeld, who was known for his esteemed work at Chanel and who passed away in 2019 at 85.
Other notable attendees of the night included Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian, Taika Waititi and Rita Ora, and Bronx rapper Ice Spice, who made her debut Met Gala appearance after receiving a special invite to the event at the request of Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. Doja Cat also got the internet talking with her intense feline look, which was meant to embody Lagerfeld’s famous cat Choupette.
As for ASAP Rocky and Rihanna, the latter revealed she was pregnant in February as part of her highly anticipated Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show, which saw her run through a few of her biggest hits including “Umbrella,” “Work” and “Diamonds.”
The happy couple previously welcomed their firstborn son last May and told British Vogue the experience has made them closer.
“We’re best friends with a baby,” Rihanna told British Vogue of her relationship with the Harlem rapper. “We have to be on the same page, but we’ve always kind of had that in our relationship. Everything changes when you have a baby but I wouldn’t say it’s done anything but made us closer.”
