The Story of A$AP Rocky's Met Gala Look is WILD

A$AP Rocky and Rihanna were the most anticipated look of the night at the 2021 Met Gala earlier this month in NYC.

The internet went crazy when the rapper walked the red carpet in his custom quilt by designer Eli Russell Linnetz.

And now the story behind the quilt has been revealed and it’s WILD!

A woman named Sarah took to Instagram to reveal that her great-grandmother originally designed and donated A$AP’s quilt.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Sarah (@books_n_babies)

“So my great grandmother’s quilt was donated to an antique/thrift store a while back. When I saw the #metgala photo, I realized instantly that it had to be the same quilt. I read the Vogue article about the designer finding the quilt in Southern California and with his office not that far from us in Venice California.”

Sarah also said that she didn’t post this to get any money, she just found it incredible that her great-grandmother’s quilt ended up at the Met Gala.
