by Madelyn Chung

Rihanna’s 2017 Met Gala look was undoubtedly one of the best of the evening. Not only did she stick to the “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between” theme by donning an OTT CDG gown, she also had a killer beauty look to match (obv).

Created by makeup artist Lora Arellano, RiRi’s makeup look consisted of vivid pink blush draped over her cheeks, eyes and temples. The bright hue picked up on the oversized petals on her dress and was bold enough to match the ornateness of the garment.
