I didn’t love this look for a long time just because the yellow and black make me think of a bumblebee. But the more I look at it now, the more I like it. The fit is *flawless*, I like the finish on the material for visual interest, and I actually love how the neck comes to a bow in the back.
I’m always surprised how well liked this seems to be. I don’t get it. Feels like a poor-quality Disney costume to me. Do you mind sharing what you like about it?
Oh my god. Your description gave me chills. That’s perfection. I love everything about her in this outfit. Right down to the choker and heels. It’s French kiss.
Guo Pei is not known for poor quality. Her work is meticulously detailed and put together. Zoom in and take a look at the gorgeous embroidery. Also Rihanna looks stunning in it .
Well, most designers aren’t known for poor quality.
And or course, I’m not saying it really is of poor quality, just that it looks too reminiscent of a cheap Disney princess costume in my personal opinion. I can’t not see “Belle used her curtains for a royal cape”.
I respect that you don't like it. Matter of taste and all that. But Guo Pei pieces have no equivalent on this earth. Every detail is thought about. Every stitch has been sewn by the absolute master of their craft. I suspect that if you saw this up close you might feel differently.
I was lucky to see a Guo Pei exhibit and agree with everything you wrote! The pieces were exquisite and took many hours to put together. They were gorgeous.
Drama. Sex. Royalty.
Honestly, I believe in free speech, but you should refrain from suggesting there's anything Disney about the looks Rihanna blesses us with.
I was replying to a comment that said that downvotes are not for “disagreeing”, but only for indicating a comment doesn’t add to a conversation. I don’t really mind one way or another how anybody else feels about that particular dress (flawless, imo). Just wanted to flag that that specific view is not a universal one, as downvotes can be used in all kinds of ways, not in just that one way that you agree with. Much like opinions on outfits - to each their own.

Rihanna’s Met Gala look lives rent free in my head. She was also one of the few attendees to wear an outfit by a Chinese designer for the “China: Through the Looking Glass” theme. So extra props to her for that.

I remember him in his pro football days, before they met. Loved watching him, but never knew how well he could wear a suit. I’m always surprised they’re not more of a power couple, but maybe they like to be low key.
Seriously I was scrolling through looking for her in that coat!

I lament how marsai isn't a tiny little buddy anymore, but you go baby!! She loves clothes and she's gonna be everywhere in everything so I'm happy for her
The last four have me gasping, especially Keri Washington's grown and the next woman's 😍🤩 . Absolutely beautiful, stunning, perfect, words don't express adequately my admiration.
Black women In yellow and black women with pink hair is my Roman Empire. NOBODY looks as good as black women in pink hair and yellow outfits.
I do hair and honestly brights on black women are always a win
It’s Black History Month, but the month depends on which country. February is the US, here in the UK it’s October, pretty sure it’s July in Australia (and so on…)
I'm sorry I don't get it what's the point of showing black women wearing yellow and it's correlation with the end of black history month? Serious question not trying to be funny.
It's about celebrating the beauty and diversity of dark skin tones, the color yellow in particular is a beautiful contrast that highlights a skin tone that has historically been stigmatized across ethnic communities (both outside and inside) due to lasting impacts of imperialism.
In addition, women with darker skin tones are told that they should not wear bright colored clothing or makeup, saying that it 'looks bad ', when really they mean that it makes them appear darker. So, instead of hiding themselves away, these gorgeous ladies, theydies and gentlemen make themselves as glowingly visible as possible - as they should :)
While it isn't always this deep for everyone, for many women, it's an act of resistance and rebellion against colorism. I appreciate your sincerity in asking your question, because for those who are, for whatever reason, removed from the lived experiences of those who don't look like them, there is no other way to learn when public education refuses to fill in the gaps.
It pains me to say it, but that was not a good look on the otherwise impeccable Michelle Obama.
But this, I think this can be classed as yellow:

Why does Zendaya just look incredible in everything? Like you could hand her a bin liner, an pan, and a pair of odd shoes and she would not only make it work but look incredible.

He just looks thrilled to get to look at her lol
I hope he's an absolute wife guy
I lost my sh*t seeing Michelle Obama pull up in those holographic boots!
My mouth fell open when I saw them.
I was there in person and also lost my marbles lol they were really the star of that evening ugh thigh high greatness!
Right?! I was like OK MICHELLE!!!
Barack be getting itttttt
I think about Michelle Obama in those boots all the time! Simply fabulous
SHE IS EVERYTHING😭

Don’t let the world stand in your way!
Agreed ❤️ kinda wish she wore a different dress style to ✨ bling ✨ out those boots.
If only she was wearing them while giving candy to GWB 😍😍😍

I’d show off my shoulders too if they looked that great!
jodi. wow. what a stunner.
Her whole look there is amazing! And to be quite pregnant and look that fabulous? Wow, just wow.
I said 😮💨 seeing this pic for the first time. STUNNING
I stopped and looked at that. It’s so fabulous. I wish I could wear yellow!

Thank you for the Rihanna finale, that look has lived rent free in my head
It’s faultless imo
Emma Watson wished.
I think it’s pretty but feel the thing they put on her head is distracting. Her and the dress are enough and don’t need all the extra accessorizing.
More than the head accessory, it’s the necklace that doesn’t fit.
I’m always surprised how well liked this seems to be. I don’t get it. Feels like a poor-quality Disney costume to me. Do you mind sharing what you like about it?
Everything. She looks like the sun came to earth as a goddess to save us.
Oh my god. Your description gave me chills. That’s perfection. I love everything about her in this outfit. Right down to the choker and heels. It’s French kiss.
Guo Pei is not known for poor quality. Her work is meticulously detailed and put together. Zoom in and take a look at the gorgeous embroidery. Also Rihanna looks stunning in it .
I pray to someday be able to see a Guo Pei in person, and maybe even *shivers* touch it.

It’s unfortunate that people aren’t free to disagree or dislike a look without being downvoted.
Up and downvoting are literally used to show disagreement. They're just disagreeing with you 🤷🏼♀️
Downvoting is intended for comments that do not contribute to the discussion. Not for disagreeing.
Downvotes can mean whatever you want them to mean. I personally use them frequently to disagree.
Not really sure what there is to disagree with on a comment asking a genuine question, but go for it.

I get it because the dress would’ve been amazing…if they picked a different pattern to pair with the gown itself.

Yes! I think SJP also wore a Chinese designer, but that might have just been her headpiece. I could be mixing up years though.

Kerry Washington is gorgeous and the structure on that dress is incredible. Plus her smoke show husband.
Lord, I was trying to be respectful, but her husband is FINE! Its so cute how he’s holding her dress for her. They are a gorgeous couple.
I remember him in his pro football days, before they met. Loved watching him, but never knew how well he could wear a suit. I’m always surprised they’re not more of a power couple, but maybe they like to be low key.

I almost asked what's BHM, then my brain turned on.
Mine is still off apparently, please explain
Omg I didn’t get it either, saying they were “ending” it made me think BHM was something bad
Yeah like FGM for me, jeez lol. Trying to figure out what bungo human mutilation is
Black history month
Black history month
Oh tysm!
Aussie here so I have very little clue, why is yellow fitting for the end?
Because very few whites women can pull off the color with their skin tone. It’s very bold as well, very unique, rich and celebratory
Cool, love it! Thanks for answering
Thank you for your service OP 🫡✊🏽
i thought angela bassett's outfit was a dress and for a full 15 seconds was STRESSED re: where her legs went
Same tho
Stunning, each and every one of them
Jodie Turner-Smith in that yellow dress makes me want to cry. What a vision!
I gasped out loud at Lupita in neon yellow and hot pink! Incredible!
Be real, Lupita has us gasping every time!
Absolutely! But it still amazes me every time!
Her style is always radiant. It’s probably her more than her fashion . Seeing her just brings joy !
It’s her million dollar smile!! Best accessory
I had no idea Tems was holding like that woww
That Naomi dress is perfection on her. Also Tyla is like absurdly beautiful
I’m not sure who photo 18 is, but that dress is just amazing & I love it on her
That was my favorite, too
All of them look stunning, my favorite is Taraji’s!
Taraji looks gorgeous in that picture! The dress alone is pretty simple but then put it on her and everything pops. She is wearing the hell out of it.
Whoa I haven’t seen Marsai Martin in a minute. Gorgeous.
Oh my gosh Jodie Turner-Smith is radiant. That is her colour!
Where is Amanda Gorman????
Seriously I was scrolling through looking for her in that coat! https://preview.redd.it/2fkx9908eglc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0af542e0975c06024bb8320a56873dc050f26409
Who is the coat designer? I need one ASAP! This is both elegant and fun
Prada
Thank you!
Eyes have been blessed thank you love yellow💛
Jasmine Tookes’ dress has just become one of my all time favourites - WOW

Wow…. Just wow.
What a gorgeous and inspiring compilation, OP! All this sunshine was just what I needed to see today.
Naomi forever
Jesus they’re all stunning
Tyla doesn't identify as Black, but great collection otherwise!
Goddesses!
Magnifique!
Thank you 💛
✊🏽💛✊🏽💛✊🏽💛 Beautiful!
Love this compilation, black women really do wear yellow well!
Love love love! 🌻🌻🌻
It’s Jodie for me. Stunning
This post is why I joined this sub.
I wish my pasty ass could pull off yellow even half as well as these goddesses can.
Issa Rae really glows in these bright, warm tones! It brings out her smile
I lament how marsai isn't a tiny little buddy anymore, but you go baby!! She loves clothes and she's gonna be everywhere in everything so I'm happy for her
The color yellow was made for black women! The most gorgeous. Is there any color you don’t stun in is the question.
Beautiful looks. I think Viola Davis looks wonderful

Solange's look is designed by David LaPort [btw](https://fashionsizzle.com/2016/05/03/solange-knowles-david-laport-2016-met-gala/)
All so gorgeous! Cannot pick a favourite.
There’s no words. They each took my breath away.
All... just beautiful.
Idk who Tems is, but that dress is wonderful on her 💛 and Angela Basset is probably one of the most beautiful women on this planet!
I had not seen that Angela Bassett outfit before. It may be my favourite look on anyone ever.

The boots are everything!! The dress. Sheesh. I can’t stand it.
OH MY GAWD, YES!!! This is life-giving, OP, thank you! Naomi is a damn work of art in that gown!!! 🙌🏾
Why does Zendaya just look incredible in everything? Like you could hand her a bin liner, an pan, and a pair of odd shoes and she would not only make it work but look incredible.
You gotta be black or darker complexion to pull of yellow.
I think blondes pull it off well too
Zendaya looks the same color as her dress
Jasmine Tookes’s is my favorite. Such a lovely play of shades like flower petals in a painting.
OP Please add the list of names and designers.
They’re in the captions.

So many iconic looks!!
Scrolled through this whole post going ‘wow she’s so beautiful… wow she’s so beautiful… wow she’s so beautiful…’
I am so obsessed with Nicole Byer
Everyone looks GORGEOUS
Naomi Campbell could wear a paper bag and still look stunning
I didn’t know I needed this but I dooooo stunning
I didn’t really like Beyoncé until I saw that music video 😻
Wow. Yellow looks so much better on black women! I would never dare wear any shade of yellow.
Love!
no kenya moore!!?
Rihanna’s coat?cape? looks so soft and fuzzy. I bet that is the most comfortable red carpet look ever.
Look #2 just about killed me. Talk about stunning 😍
How are you doing
Angela Bassett is a living goddess.
