Rihanna had just returned to the red carpet, and it was a big moment.
The singer and fashion icon, 37, stepped out at the 2025 CFDA Awards on Monday night, marking her first red carpet appearance since welcoming daughter Rocky Irish with A$AP Rocky in September.
The ceremony was held at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, where the star arrived accompanied by Rocky, who was honored at the ceremony.
According to the people, Rihanna described her look as a “post-baby” style, which she described as “timeless” and “easy.”
She wore an elegant black Alaïa coat from the Spring/Summer 2026 collection, tied at the waist and layered over a black turtleneck. She paired it with flowing white trousers over high heels, creating a simple yet eye-catching look.
She and Rocky stopped to take sweet photos together before heading inside.
Rocky went classic in a Chanel suit with white cuffed sleeves. He added a yellow V-neck jacket and cream Chanel pumps with black tips, as well as layered jewelry, including vintage pieces and a diamond earring, which gave his look a subtle shimmer.
The couple, who recently gained attention after Rocky referred to himself as a “loving husband” in an interview, matched easily on the carpet.
The night was especially meaningful for Rocky, who received this year’s Fashion Icon Award, an award Rihanna herself received in 2014.
Since becoming a father, Rocky has spoken about how fatherhood has changed his approach to style. He has said that his father’s style is “much more focused”, moving from bold mixes to what he describes as “quieter opulence”.
He also talked about providing clothes for his children, so that they would not, as he put it, “have to try so hard to figure it out,” because his personal archive would be waiting for them.
With Rihanna returning to the red carpet with her signature gorgeous style and Rocky being celebrated for his style influence, the duo delivered a special moment, one that feels like a new chapter for the parents-to-three.
