Males traditionally wore tuxedos on the red carpet. But more and more female celebrities, including Rihanna and Meghan Markle, have been seen on red carpets wearing suits and tuxedos throughout the years. The top ladies of Hollywood’s big and small screens are dressing to the nines on red carpets—call it the Hillary Effect.
The power suit may be having a moment right now, but it has been a popular fashion statement since Yves Saint Laurent created the first haute couture tuxedo, Le Smoking, in 1966. (Consider a white shirt with ruffled cuffs, a matching vest, and opulent black velvet.) Perfect now as it was then.
Rihanna’s tuxedo look.
Because of her omelet-inspired dress in 2015 and her floral-inspired outfit in 2017, Rihanna has earned the title of “queen of the Met Gala.” At the 2009 Met Gala, she wore a sleek black tuxedo with oversized shoulder pads and black gloves, which was one of her less well-known outfits. Who better to embody fashion than Rihanna, whose theme that year was “The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion”?
