This year’s Met Gala — moss carpet and all — was full of magical moments, but none more than Rihanna playing with Heidi Klum’s marble nipples. In a recent interview with Bustle, the host of Project Runway addressed a photo from the evening in which Rihanna appears to be pinching her breasts. Apparently Klum, who was dressed in head-to-toe prosthetics to resemble a living Italian sculpture, had no idea such nipple play was taking place.
