Rihanna has always been a “fashion killa” in her own right, transcending style through her own eras of evolution — both musically and on the business front. At this point, what can’t the Bajan beauty make look good? We’ve seen RiRi go from flowy tresses and natural make up looks, to bold hair cuts and daring face beats that are still talked about and replicated to this day.
Even in pregnancy the, 9-time Grammy-winning artist set the tone for ways to look fashionable while also carrying precious life. Whether it be her maternity reveal shoot taken under the noisy overpaths of Harlem, or baring nothing but her sunkissed skin underneath palm trees. Rihanna is that girl. With that being said, it comes as no surprise that she would choose a partner equally yoked in couture and who sets a fire with their fashion, wherever they go. And A$AP Rocky is no stranger to doing just that.
“We saw fashion the same. We saw creative the same. We ended up in the same circles a lot. And past that, when we grew up, we ended up supporting each other’s brands and products and creative all the time,” Rihanna spoke of the love of her life in a new cover with Interview magazine. “I would wear his sh*t, he would show up to my launches.”
Despite both cultural icons creating their own paths in the ever-changing world of fashion — Rih did admit that she may get a little intimidated by what Rocky is wearing at times. “I be feeling bummy as sh*t next to this man,” she joked. “I feel like, godd*mn, I look like his assistant. I’m getting on a plane. We should be in sweats. He wants to be in a full Bottega suit. I’m like, ‘Why you got to do that to me?’”
Although the 36-year-old’s remarks about her beau are obviously rooted in love, she did open up about what her fashion sense is like now as a mother-of-two. “It’s more like I spend my time getting the kids dressed to death, and then I’m like, ‘What’s the most comfortable outfit to wear around them? What’s not going to feel uncomfortable on their face or on their body or make me feel like I can’t hold them properly?’ Moms are lazy dressers in real life.”
Undoubtedly, Rihanna has slayed any carpet she’s walked, editorial she’s shot, or appearance she’s made. And don’t get us wrong — A$AP Rocky is a fashion gawd, but VIBE is here is to remind Rih of a few looks where she’s actually outdressed the Harlemite. Take a look below at 12 of Rih’s best fashion-couple moments.
