At the intersection of fashion and music, A$AP Rocky and Rihanna form an unmissable duo, dazzling us time and again with their bold sense of style.

A$AP Rocky and Rihanna: red carpet icons
The 2021 Met Gala was a landmark edition of fashion’s grandest event. Held on September 13 after a year-long hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it also marked the red carpet debut of fashion’s new favorite couple: A$AP Rocky and Rihanna.
Sticking to the theme, “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” the rapper stepped out in a voluminous patchwork coat by California label ERL—a vibrant piece celebrating American craftsmanship that he wore with pride. Rihanna, meanwhile, chose a sculptural coat by Balenciaga. As she explained in a video, the look is meant to be a hyper-sophisticated version of the black hoodie, a garment often stereotypically linked to the marginalization of Black individuals.
In 2023, at the next edition of the Met Gala, the couple once again made a showstopping entrance. Rihanna stunned in a Valentino gown while A$AP Rocky surprised with a more casual look by Gucci, inspired by grunge icon Kurt Cobain. Though rarely matching, the pair always manage to present a coherent and daring fashion statement…
A unique blend of streetwear and elegance
Beyond glamorous events, the couple’s everyday style is just as inspiring. In January 2025, photographers captured the duo in what can only be described as the essence of casual chic. A$AP Rocky sported a classic beige trench coat paired with an oversized shirt and tie. Rihanna, on the other hand, embraced a bolder vibe: a black oversized leather trench matched with a denim jumpsuit—a perfect balance of masculine and feminine, high-end and street.
This stylistic harmony was also on display in January 2022 on the snowy streets of New York, during Rihanna’s now-iconic baby bump reveal. In that candid moment, she mixed vintage haute couture—a 1996 Chanel jacket—with streetwear staples (A$AP Rocky in a Carhartt jacket), proving that their style is both aspirational and relatable.
An unrivaled influence in the fashion world
But this couple doesn’t just follow trends—they create them. A$AP Rocky, whose highly anticipated fourth album Don’t Be Dumb is slated for release in 2025, was recently named creative director for Ray-Ban. A natural step for someone who has become a central figure in the fashion landscape.
With his brand, American Sabotage, he challenges traditional norms of masculinity through pieces that blend luxury, innovation, and his signature rebellious flair—most notably during a surprise show at Paris Fashion Week in June 2024.
Rihanna, meanwhile, continues to captivate not only with her personal style but also through her brands. Fenty has revolutionized lingerie with its inclusive ethos, and Fenty Beauty redefined beauty standards. Her influence on fashion shows and the industry at large is unparalleled, with each new launch turning into a full-fledged cultural event.
More recently, in the summer of 2024, Italian house Bottega Veneta released a touching Father’s Day campaign offering a glimpse into A$AP Rocky’s life as a father of two—his children with Rihanna. The ultimate proof that their image continues to fascinate and intrigue…
