At the Gotham Film Awards in New York, Rihanna made a splash — but not the kind she hoped for. The 37-year-old star walked the red carpet in an unusual pink gown with a train. The loose, shapeless silhouette immediately drew criticism online, with users comparing the dress to “a bedsheet cinched with an elastic band.” The singer’s bold fashion experiment clearly didn’t land with the public.
Her headpiece became a separate topic of discussion: a baseball cap covered in pink feathers looked completely out of place with an evening gown. Long black gloves only intensified the outfit’s eclectic, theatrical feel. Commentators noted that Rihanna rarely makes fashion mistakes, but this appearance was a clear exception.
Rihanna attempted to balance the daring look with luxurious jewelry. She wore diamond drop earrings, several rings, and a large statement necklace. But even the sparkle couldn’t save the outfit — it still felt overloaded and chaotic.
Supporting her that evening was ASAP Rocky, who opted for a far more classic look. The 37-year-old rapper arrived in a white shirt, tie, and oversized suit, finishing the outfit with a diamond earring and a large leather bag. His understated style sharply contrasted with his partner’s fashion experiment.
Critics pointed out that Rihanna wasn’t the only one who missed the mark that night. Chloë Sevigny also made the “worst dressed” lists with her pistachio mini dress featuring an elongated silhouette. Among the attendees, several stars shone with impeccable style — Julia Roberts stood out in a vibrant suit, while Jennifer Lawrence chose an elegant all-black look.
