You’d think it wouldn’t be hard for a supermodel like Ashley Graham, who’s been the toast of the town for a while now, to find a fierce dress for fashion’s biggest event like the Met Gala. But apparently, it is.

In an interview with New York magazine, Ashley revealed she had to skip the 2016 Met Gala because she couldn’t find a designer to dress her. “I couldn’t get a designer to dress me,” she said. “You can’t just show up in jeans and a T-shirt.”

This year, she was rocking a stunning H&M couture gown. “Rihanna said I looked ‘hot as fuck,’” Graham said. “I had no idea what to say to her. I was just like, ‘You slay every Met, Rihanna!’” Rihanna, of course, is always right.
