A$AP Rocky honored his partner Rihanna during his acceptance speech for the 2025 CFDA Fashion Icon Award, highlighting how the superstar inspired him to achieve the milestone.

The 37-year-old rapper, known for hits like Praise the Lord, addressed Rihanna, also 37, from the podium at the CFDA Awards on Monday, November 3, at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. “Baby girl, I love you, boo,” he said, adding with excitement, “You won this so long ago, remember what I told you? I said, ‘Yo, you inspire me. Ima win that s— one day.’ Every award, remember that s—? And look — we did it, baby!”

The couple, who began their romantic relationship in November 2020 after more than a decade of friendship, are parents to three children: sons Riot (2) and RZA (3½), and daughter Rocki Irish, born in September 2025. Their appearance at the awards was a stylish date night, with coordinated outfits that blended black with complementary tones.

Rihanna’s “Postpartum-Forward” Look

Rihanna stunned in a timeless Alaïa look from the Spring/Summer 2026 collection, described by the singer herself as a “postpartum-forward look.” She wore a floor-length black trench coat tied at the waist over a black turtleneck, paired with draped white pants tucked into heels. Her ensemble perfectly balanced elegance with comfort for her first major red carpet appearance post-baby.

A$AP Rocky’s Classic Red Carpet Style

Rocky kept his look sharp in a Chanel suit featuring bold white cuffs, layered over a butter-yellow V-neck sweater, and paired with cream-colored Chanel shoes with black tips. He accessorized with vintage Briony Raymond jewelry, including diamond drop earrings, a French gold collar from the 1960s, an opal and diamond brooch from the 1940s, a vintage diamond ring, and a diamond cuff.

The couple’s coordinated red carpet appearance drew admiration for their effortless style and strong partnership. A$AP Rocky’s speech further cemented their dynamic as a power couple in music and fashion, with Rihanna’s past CFDA win in 2014 serving as a key inspiration for Rocky’s award.
