Rihanna Shines Brightly as ASAP Rocky Receives Fashion Award
Rihanna continues to dominate the fashion scene, and her latest appearance at the British Fashion Awards on December 2 was no exception. The singer managed to upstage her partner, ASAP Rocky, who received the prestigious Cultural Innovator award during the event held at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
Dressed in a stunning ice blue fur wrap dress from Christian Lacroix, complete with a black bustier and sheer tights, Rihanna made a memorable impression, especially with her eye-catching headpiece reminiscent of a character from Monsters, Inc. Although Rocky looked sharp in a stylish oversized navy suit by Bottega Veneta, it was Rihanna who drew the most attention on the red carpet, prompting compliments and admiration.
Both stars arrived fashionably late, a signature move for this stylish couple, echoing their past appearances at high-profile events. It’s worth noting that during the 2019 award ceremony, they attended separately amid rumors of their budding romance.
ASAP Rocky, who stated that winning the award “means so much” to him, has made significant strides in the fashion industry, recently making waves at Paris Fashion Week with his AWGE runway collection, American Sabotage. As he accepted his award, Rihanna couldn’t contain her excitement, cheering proudly for her partner.
Reflecting on his impact, British Fashion Council chief Caroline Rush explained that the Cultural Innovator award recognizes individuals who have profoundly influenced fashion and culture. Rihanna has openly praised Rocky’s sense of style, admitting she sometimes feels “bummy” next to him due to his dapper looks.
“I think he’s the best,” she shared in an interview, highlighting his keen taste in fashion. From stunning runway collections to innovative projects, Rocky continues to leave an indelible mark on the creative landscape.
The duo, who began dating in 2020 and share two young sons, RZA and Riot, showcase a unique synergy in the world of fashion. Their collective impact is felt beyond the carpet, proving that together, they are shaping a movement within the style sphere.
