Rihanna’s Performance at a Museum Party
You’ve all heard by now that Rihanna returned to the red carpet last night at the Costume Institute Gala in New York City.
Once inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, she sat at Marc Jacobs‘ table with Madonna, Victoria Beckham and Stella McCartney.
The 21-year-old Barbadian beauty was also the suprise performer of two songs with the night’s entertainment headliner, Kanye West…
“Kanye asked her to do it,” a source tells me. “It was his idea, but [Vogue editor-in-chief] Anna Wintour obviously had to approve it. Anna was at the run-through during the day and was so into it.”
After things wrapped up at the museum, Rihanna was spotted at Jacobs’ fete at the Monkey Bar, chatting with Gossip Girl star Blake Lively.
She also hit Bungalow 8, where Harvey Weinstein cohosted a party with the legendary hot spot’s owner Amy Sacco. “I saw Rihanna with a couple of girlfriends,” a fellow clubgoer reports. “She danced and was having fun.”
