Melanin totally took over the Met Gala 2017 red carpet and turned it into a straight up runway.

Inspired by the Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons theme, which encourages fashion to push the envelope artistically, these are the women of color who came through in their most daring yet high fashion attire.

Rihanna

The QUEEN of the Met Gala, people. Rihanna is undefeated.

With pretty, puffy hair and a tropical printed dress that eyes get lost in, Zendaya was gorg.

If you're going to be extra with your bae, Diddy and Cassie are certainly goals.

Been our crush. Still our crush.
