Alexa Chung has clearly been sorting through her photo albums in lockdown.

The photo saw the likes of Yoko Ono, Salma Hayek and Stella McCartney fawning over Rihanna as they admired her dress.

The black sleek number was a Stella McCartney/Alexander McQueen and was designed for that year’s theme: Savage Beauty.
Rihanna famously wore her long mane in a russet plait in the sparkling, lacy number which teased her torso with a split that ran the height of the dress.
In the snap, the other ladies admire Rihanna as they wait backstage.
Alexa captioned the image: ‘Ancient maybe even Blackberry photo of a Met Gala bathroom scene. Yoko, Rihanna, Stella, Salma, Lauren. Solid line up.’

This comes after Alexa revealed that she once offered to pay the Beckhams to talk to her at a party, and pretended she was a waitress to get close to Leonardo DiCaprio.
The model suffered the humiliation at a dinner thrown by Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

Cringe: She admitted she once offered David and Victoria Beckham money to claim they knew her and that Leo DiCaprio once believed she was a waitress and asked her for a drink
‘Everyone was there in couples,’ she recalled. ‘They were really famous and the only ones I could think to go over to were David and Victoria Beckham.
‘I said, “I know you have a lot of money but I’ll pay you anything to talk to me right now.” And they were really nice.’
Of her toe-curling encounter with Leo, Alexa admitted: ‘He thought I was the waitress, so I got him drinks and I pretended I was.’
