Rihanna Wears TOM FORD Autumn/Winter 2012 to Met Costume Institute Gala

While Chanel Iman was Tom Ford’s official date to the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Opening Gala, everyone’s favorite rockstar Rihanna showed her love for the designer by donning another standout piece from the TOM FORD Autumn/Winter 2012 Womenswear Collection.

Rihanna walked the red carpet in a stunning black embossed crocodile leather appliqué evening dress and black TOM FORD patent pumps. To say this gown was one of the best seen at the Gala would be an understatement. It caused quite a stir when the Collection first showed in London because of the amazing workmanship… every single crocodile scale was cut out individually and appliquéd onto the stretch jersey by hand. I can’t even imagine the amount of hours that went into creating this beauty.

It’s deceptively subdued from the front, but the plunging back and sexy snakeskin push it to another level.

Tom Ford Sexiness at its finest.
