Rihanna and A$AP Rocky make red carpet debut at Met Gala 2021

The bad gal is back — and with her boyfriend to boot. Rihanna made her epic return to the Met Gal red carpet on Monday night, wearing an all-black Balenciaga outfit that included a voluminous ruffled coat and matching hat.

The “Diamonds” singer, 33, was joined by beau A$AP Rocky, 32, who turned heads in a colorful quilted look by ERL, marking the couple’s red carpet debut. The rapper slipped out of his colorful overcoat, revealing a black suit and white ruffled shirt that matched his lady love as the couple held hands and sweetly nuzzled together on the Met steps.

While Rihanna and Rocky were linked back in January 2020 — after posing together seemingly as friends at the British Fashion Awards just one month prior — they didn’t go public until November 2020, and have been inseparable ever since. Met Gala event organizers have issued a vaccination mandate and mask requirement for all attending the benefit.

“Currently, all attendees at The Met Gala on September 13 must provide proof of full vaccination and will also be expected to wear masks indoors except when eating or drinking,” a spokesperson for The Met confirmed to PEOPLE. “We will update these guidelines as needed.
