蕾哈娜着中式大黄袍抢镜

    Never let it be said that Rihanna doesn’t know how to make an entrance.

    On a night when big stars were a dime a dozen — George and Amal Clooney, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Cher — the pop singer still managed to pull the red carpet out from under all of them at the Met Gala on Monday when she swooped in wearing a fur-trimmed yellow cape with floral swirls of gold and a train so long it required three wranglers.

    The ensemble included a pink mini-dress and a sparkling tiara. In keeping with the evening’s theme — China and its artistic influence on the West — the outfit came from Beijing-based designer Guo Pei, whose sumptuous designs also are on display in the current Metropolitan Museum exhibit “China: Through the Looking Glass.”

    As befitting a star — or fashion royalty — Rihanna commanded premium attention on the carpet by being one of the very last to arrive.

    In spite of the attention, some Chinese netizens poked fun at Rihanna’s dress on Sina Weibo. Many responses to Rihanna’s outfit compared her gown to a quilt or Chinese omelet. Netizens also teased the designer by leaving messages on her Weibo page. “Wearing an orange or red dress doesn’t help convey Chinese elements. When will designers truly understand Chinese beauty?” asked one netizen.
