The 2025 Met Gala brought its usual blend of high fashion, star power, and unforgettable moments. But one exchange that had fans buzzing came from two of music’s most iconic women: Ciara and Rihanna.
Ciara, known for her dynamic presence both on stage and on the red carpet, stunned in a sculptural silver ensemble designed by Balmain, perfectly in line with the night’s futuristic theme, “Reawakening the Archive: A Journey Through Time.” But it wasn’t just her outfit that had everyone talking—it was what she revealed about her brief but impactful conversation with Rihanna.
While on the Sherri Shepard show, Ciara opened up about running into Rihanna inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Ciara says the two talked motherhood, and celebrating the special moment for Rihanna.
Both women have embraced motherhood in recent years—Ciara welcomed her fourth child earlier this year, while Rihanna has been open about raising her two young sons with rapper A$AP Rocky- and now being pregnant with baby number three.
The short but sweet moment between Ciara and Rihanna served as a reminder that even amid the glamour and high fashion of the Met Gala, genuine connections still shine through.
