Rihanna, A$AP Rocky Shine at British Fashion Awards
Rihanna captivated attendees at the British Fashion Awards held at the Royal Albert Hall in London on December 2. The singer skillfully upstaged her partner A$AP Rocky, who won the Cultural Innovator award.
Rocky, dressed in a stylish oversized navy suit by Bottega Veneta, expressed how much the award "means" to him. However, it was Rihanna’s stunning appearance that truly stole the spotlight.
Both stars, aged 36, made a grand entrance while wearing eye-catching outfits. Rihanna donned an ice blue Christian Lacroix fur wrap dress complemented by a black bustier, sheer tights, high heels, and leather opera gloves. Her headpiece caught much attention, reminiscent of the iconic hats in "Monsters, Inc.," according to Vogue. Attendees behind her might have been less than thrilled!
This event wasn’t their first British Fashion Awards appearance. In 2019, they arrived separately just as dating rumors were beginning. Arriving last has become a signature style move for the couple. At the 2021 Met Gala, they were late enough for Vogue’s red carpet livestream to conclude before their arrival.
A$AP Rocky received the Cultural Innovator title to honor his impactful role in fashion and culture. The award recognizes individuals creating significant "viral fashion moments" and influencing trends. This recognition follows his impressive debut at Paris Fashion Week in June with the AWGE collection called American Sabotage.
As he accepted the award, Rihanna cheered enthusiastically. Caroline Rush, chief executive of the British Fashion Council, praised Rocky's influence. She highlighted his vibrant contributions, from his Paris debut to designing visionary installations. His work has indeed positioned him at the center of culture and innovation this year.
