For this year's (admittedly tricky) Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala theme, Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons, stars took every possible approach to the biggest red carpet of the year_  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang May 2, 2017 1:13 AM UTC It's a really, reeaally long time...  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang May 2, 2017 1:13 AM UTC There are very few things that the Internet collectively agrees on, but one thing is for certain: that one [Robyn Rihanna Fenty](http://time.com/4746220/rihanna-fenty-puma-video/) is the undisputed queen of the [Met Gala](http://time.com/4762153/met-gala-2017-behind-the-scenes-photos/). While bad gal Ri Ri’s always been a fashion maven — one only needs to look at the overwhelming popularity of her shoe and clothing lines — it’s her unrivaled excellence at fashion’s biggest night that’s really set her apart as a style icon. At the last Met Gala she attended in 2015, Rihanna’s sweeping goldenrod cape by Guo Pei not only tickled fashion insiders, but it quickly inspired [one of the Internet’s most beloved memes](http://time.com/3846906/rihanna-met-gala/). This year, it appears that Rihanna remains the Internet’s unanimous fashion favorite at the Met Gala, after showing up in a gorgeously ornate Comme des Garçons dress, complete with a top knot, matching eyeshadow and strappy stiletto heels. After a [red carpet](http://time.com/4762326/met-gala-2017-red-carpet-photos/) filled with guests who half-heartedly flirted with the [avant garde Rei Kawakubo/Comme de Garçon theme of the night](http://time.com/4757973/met-gala-2017-rei-kawakubo-bio/), Rihanna fully leaned into the over-the-top nature of the theme, winning the hearts of the Internet and the fashion flock alike. > [](https://twitter.com/RemedyPodcast/status/859206080022405121) > [](https://twitter.com/RachelEffendy/status/859209074533126144) > [](https://twitter.com/aaronmedwards/status/859209087434862592) > [](https://twitter.com/neekaneeks/status/859207957757665280) > [](https://twitter.com/bottledfleet/status/859206629325127680) > [](https://twitter.com/Kanyeberly/status/859205769895563264) ## Transcript [00:00] [ MUSIC ] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4762629/rihanna-queen-met-gala-2017/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4762629/rihanna-queen-met-gala-2017/"},"headline":"The Internet Is In Complete Agreement.
