If your list of best Met Gala [2] beauty looks didn't include Rihanna [3], you might want to fix that immediately. The Fenty founder arrived fashionably (pun intended) late to fashion's biggest night wearing a white, bridal-esque gown [4] that featured white rosettes surrounding her head. The star was accompanied by boyfriend A$AP Rocky, who wore a kilt over a pair of denim pants paired with a blazer and skinny tie. Still, the best part of Rihanna [5]'s look had to be her "supermodel" nails.

The trend, which was first coined by celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik [6], has been seen on countless stars [7] as of late and typically features a nude nail with cleaned-up nail beds. Rihanna's take on the trend featured a manicure in a milky-white hue with a fun twist — white, 3D roses on a few nails, undoubtedly to match her outfit.

Rihanna is one of the reigning queens of the Met Gala and a fan favorite for a reason. From her "invisible" brows [8] in 2018 to the high bun [9], bangs haircut [10], and dramatic blush in 2017, the entrepreneur rules the fundraiser's red carpet because she knows how to see and execute a theme. There were plenty of beauty moments throughout the night, but it's safe to say this is one we'll never forget. Take a closer look at Rihanna's manicure below.
