Diddy “got tired” at the Met Gala so he lay down on the stairs in his floor-length cape

Diddy "got tired" at the Met Gala so he lay down on the stairs in his floor-length cape

The rap mogul photobombed Cassie’s red carpet moment with a super-villain ensemble.

Diddy showed up to last night’s Met Gala in a very fetching cobweb-patterned tuxedo with matching floor-length cape. Standard bad boy practice.

But while his girlfriend Cassie was having her moment on the red (or actually, white) carpet, Diddy decided he needed to recline for a while on the Met Gala steps.

What happened, Diddy? “I was getting tired,” he explained, “so I laid down on the stairs!”

Here’s a closer look at that cobweb ensemble, selected for this year’s Met Gala celebrating Rei Kawakubo and her avant-garde fashion label Comme Des Garcons.

Elsewhere on the white carpet, Jaden Smith showed up with a strange accessory – a handful of his own dreadlocks. Why? As he explained to Vogue‘s André Leon Talley, because he couldn’t bring his sister, Willow Smith, to the party.

The night’s real winner was Rihanna, who managed to make avant-garde fashion look fun.
