Although numerous articles have reported Asap and Rhianna as "best dressed" for the Met Gala 2023, this isn't necessarily something that can be proven to be true or false. As the opinions of what is considered "best" varies from person to person. An article posted by Newsweek even claim Rhianna's look was one of the most critiqued.

This is subjective. There are best-dressed lists from every outlet with different celebrities included on each. Fashion critiques and preferences involve personal taste or opinion and varies by person, though many have claimed to like their outfits at the Met Gala.

There is no right or wrong answer to this question because it's an opinionated question. There is no "best dressed" category or prize at the Met Gala. According to this Vogue article, readers can vote who they think looks good or not but all of this is subjective. https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/best-dressed-stars-met-gala-2023

According to magazines like Harper's Bazaar and Esquire they titled Rihanna and Asap  rocky "best dressed" at Met gala. This is strictly opinion. There is nothing about this article that can be proven that they are the best dressed. It is neither false or true.

This is a statement of opinion. While a general opinion can have a majority vote, this still can not be proven true. Many news outlets favor Rihanna and Asap Rocky's Met Gala look, and they have proven to rank high in fashion magazines' rankings of best dressed, but at the end of the day, this is an opinion, not a fact.

This claim cannot be proven true as it is an opinion, and there is no award for "best dressed." Many articles claim that they are best dressed but are subjective. According to Vogue, their outfits were "worth the wait."

According to Harpers Bazar, they believe that Rihanna is one of the best dressed always at the met. However, this is completely subjective so its not really possible to fact-check unless there was some sort of scoring system. The met looks are always very bold so it's up to the viewer what they like and dislike.

Many articles and sources have stated that Rihanna and ASAP Rocky were the best dressed at the met gala, however, this perspective changes from person to person and isn't something that can be asserted as a fully accurate statement. Rihanna's look was said to be representative of the old-fashioned Hollywood theme.

How would you rate the claim? True? False? N/A? I can't quite tell based on your explanation and there's no rating selected (try to select a rating going forward). Thanks!
