Rihanna is officially back outside — and she did not come to play! The beauty mogul and music icon made her highly anticipated red carpet return alongside A$AP Rocky at the CFDA Fashion Awards 2025 in New York City, marking her first public appearance since welcoming baby No. 3, Rocki Irish Mayers, in September.
Rih showed up serving “postpartum-forward” chic, wrapped in a dramatic black Alaïa trench coat paired with flowy white trousers and diamond jewelry that could blind an ex. The look was soft, confident, and unapologetically grown — a vibe only Rihanna could pull off weeks after giving birth.
Meanwhile, A$AP Rocky proved once again why he’s a fashion god, rocking a Chanel blazer over a butter-yellow sweater and tailored black trousers. The rapper and designer received the night’s Fashion Icon Award, and Rihanna was right there cheering him on, hand in hand, looking every bit the power couple.
At one point, Rocky leaned in to kiss Rihanna’s cheek — and yes, the internet is still recovering. Fans on X called it “the real-life Vogue cover we needed.”
The pair, who share sons RZA and Riot along with baby Rocki, have been quietly building their empire while redefining what celebrity love looks like. Married or not (we’re still waiting on confirmation 👀), they continue to dominate red carpets and parenthood with equal parts cool and chaos.
This CFDA appearance officially marks Rihanna’s return to fashion’s front row, and if this is what her comeback looks like — consider the streets officially reclaimed.
