Rihanna turned her head and flipped the pages of the old drama at the 2025 Met Gala in New York City, where she reunited with Ciara in a warm public moment, showing that their long-lasting hatred is formal history.
Two stars pose on the red carpet, smiling, a sweet gesture as Ciara gently puts her hand on Rihanna’s baby bump, saying that any tweet is more.

Rihanna confirms that she is expecting her third child with partner A$ap Rocky, who dramatically returns to the biggest night of fashion in a Marc Jacobs ensemble that plays the theme of the party “Superfine: Superfine: Cut Black Style”.
Her clothes were fitted with a black pinstripe skirt, a cut blazer, a grey corset and a wide-brimmed hat with a burgundy polka dot tie and a chunky white collar.
She finished the look with black and white audience muzzles and dramatic bows that followed from the back.
Ciara participated in her eighth Met Gala, wearing a black and silver Laquan Smith gown, with bold cuts tied together by a pile of crystals.
She paired the look with a black pump, oversized earrings and a sleek blonde bob.
Husband Russell Wilson joined Ciara, wearing a classic black tuxedo, long coat, crystal brooch, cane and sunglasses.
The NFL quarterback joked about their night, saying he hoped to get Cinco tonight, suggesting a fifth baby.

Rihanna & Ciara’s Public Hate
The moment of affection between Rihanna and Ciara marks a full circle moment for the two women who once exchanged jabs on social media at a party in 2011.
At that time, Ciala told E! Rihanna is “not the best” and “it’s not the most pleasant running-in” fashion cop, although she also adds that she has always “always love and respect what she does in fashion.”
Rihanna shot Twitter and kicked it back and forth. Eventually, Rihanna apologized and the two seemed to move on.
Although Ciara later told a radio station in 2013, “I don’t have anyone, but I’m not respected either…I don’t know what her problem is. I think she’s crazy right now,” she also said she hopes Rihanna is good.
By 2016, Ciara had completely escaped the dispute and called it a “pure comedy” on Twitter. Since then, the two have maintained a kind attitude, but their metropolitan celebration is the clearest sign that the past was behind them.
