Making her first appearance since the alleged assault on her by boyfriend Chris Brown on February 8, following a pre Grammy party, Rihanna was at ease posing for photogs but avoided answering questions.
The 21-year-old Barbadian singer, known for her impeccable style, was the last to arrive at the event which was themed - “The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion.”

She accessorized with stud earrings, leather gloves and black statement heels.
Her hair was swept to a side with prominent platinum blond highlights and she wore blue eye shadow that extended beyond her eyelids.
Rihanna later attended Marc Jacobs after-party at 'Monkey Bar' in New York City, where she hung out with Katy Perry.
Other celebrities at the event included Madonna, Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway, Eva Longoria with husband Tony Parker, Kate Beckinsale, Kate Moss, Jessica Biel with Justin Timberlake and Victoria Beckham.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the world's largest and most important art museums, located on the eastern edge of Central Park in Manhattan, New York.
Its Costume Institute contains more than 80,000 costumes and accessories. Due to the fragile nature of the items in the collection, the Costume Institute does not maintain a permanent installation. Instead, every year it holds two separate shows in the Met's galleries using costumes from its collection, with each show centering on a specific designer or theme.
