Rihanna covered up big time for the Met Gala, but she got her girls out for her afterparty, which was the place to be. Attendees included Jennifer Lawrence, Zoe Kravitz, the Jenner girls, Tyga, Amber Valetta, and Dianna Agron. Page Six says Bradley Cooper was “making out till 3 or 4 in the morning” with Irina Shayk in a corner. One person who was not in attendance? Rita Ora.

I’ve always wondered if Rihanna had a problem with Rita, who I think single-white-femaled Rihanna’s style. The Tom Ford connection illustrates this point. Back in 2012, Tom dressed Rihanna for the Met Gala, and it was an awesome dress. Rihanna referred to Ford as her “baby daddy.” Then something happened. Rihanna and Ford cooled off, and I believe it had something to do with Rihanna never limiting herself to one fashion house. Even the Dior contract hasn’t slowed down Rih’s style. About a year ago, Rita started to cozy up to Ford. He started dressing her for fashion events, and Rita kissed and cuddled him on the red carpet. The display continued at Monday night’s gala. According to The Sun (via The Mirror), Rihanna preemptively banned Rita from her afterparty:

Rihanna reportedly banned Rita Ora from her star-studded Met Gala after party.

The 27-year-old singer – who held the bash at Up & Down nightclub in New York City following the prestigious event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monda – is said to have refused to give Rita an invitation to her event as the pair reportedly can’t stand each other.

Rihanna – who is signed to the same record label, Roc Nation, as the blonde beauty – is said to have seen the opportunity to ban Rita from the star-studded party as a “chance for revenge” and made it clear she wasn’t to be let into the bash under “any circumstances.”

A source told The Sun newspaper: “She has a real issue with Rita and this was her chance for revenge. She made it clear when organising her party that Rita was not to gatecrash under any circumstances.”

Prior to the party, the Rude Boy singer is also said to have spent the night hanging out with Rita’s former best pal Cara Delevingne, which caused a “very icy” atmosphere between the 24-year-old singer and the supermodel.

However an insider close to Rita has insisted she had no plans to attend the after-party and was happy to spend the evening hanging out with Wrecking Ball singer Miley Cyrus instead.

A source said: “It was very icy between Rita and Cara. They spent the night trying to ignore each other. Rita decided to hang out with Miley Cyrus instead. She was never going to attend Rihanna’s party because she’d made plans to go to another bash.”

Such drama! Is all of this bad blood over Tom Ford? Rita and Rihanna share the same record label too. If this story is true, somethings eventually gonna blow at an event. I wouldn’t mess with Rihanna.

Here are some attendees arriving outside Rihanna’s afterparty (with more pics in the gallery). Jennifer Lawrence looks awesome. She should have worn this dress to the gala!
