A Daring Look for a Pre-Met Gala Night

Rinna stepped out on May 2, 2026, in New York City for a pre-Met Gala party hosted by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos at the Amazon founder’s NoMad apartment. The gathering came just two days before the Met Gala itself, and Rinna had reportedly hinted she would be making her debut at the main event on May 4.

Fashion & Style

The evening seemed to give her a chance to preview the night’s “fashion is art” theme on her own terms, and she leaned all the way in.

Feathers, Fringe, and a Bold New Hairstyle

The most immediate change was her  hair. Rinna ditched her familiar pixie cut for a faux-hawk with a distinctly Y2K edge, her short brown hair slicked tightly at the sides for what one outlet described as a mullet-like effect.

At the crown, a burst of cherry-red hair spiked upward, giving the style a rebellious finish that instantly became a talking point.

The hair was only part of the story. Rinna’s gown embraced the Met Gala’s long tradition of daring, sheer silhouettes, pairing a completely sheer black net bodice with a flowy, high-waisted black skirt.

Black fringe curled across her chest, arms, and waistband, offering just enough coverage to keep the look from tipping fully into shock value. Vivid red feathers cascaded from her sleeves, adding color and movement, especially as she walked.

Hair Care

Beaded black accents at her wrists added further structure to an  outfit already juggling sheer fabric, shine, fringe, and feathers. She finished the ensemble with chunky cheetah-print platform heels and a simple black leather clutch, keeping the accessories from competing with the gown itself.

Her makeup matched the drama of the outfit, with fuchsia-pink smoky eyeshadow, an extended black cat-eye, sunset-toned blush, and a cool pink lip.
