90s Black Love
When not rocking opulent furs, their aesthetic is relaxed and to the untrained eye, effortless. The catch: it’s anything but effortless. Lovers of 90s sitcoms can spot the aesthetic easily as it’s simple, comfortable and all about the structure of the fit.
Rihanna adds her personal touch to the beloved 90s denim trend with an exposed bra – on brand for the SavageXFenty founder – and a collared shirt buttoned once, evoking major sex appeal. The “DMB” rapper sticks to his smooth ways with a two-piece suit that screams 90s RnB music video. Here, the couple doesn’t necessarily match, but they absolutely complement each other.
A Matching Monochrome Moment
Despite having their own style, every once in a while the celebrity couple literally matches each other’s fly. At the 2022 premiere of Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever, they wore similar colors and in their usual avant-garde nature, added trains to both fits.
Defying Norms
Tapping Gen Z’s favorite wedding trend, this couple continuously screams “f-ck the norm.” In Rocky’s “DMB” music video, Rihanna appeared in a red wedding dress and veil, defying all norms. Her partner, on the other hand, sported gold grills and added their signature touch: custom jewelry. This time, he wore a trophy ring inspired by Rihana.
Opposites Attract
Opposites — ahem, maximalism and minimalism — attract. For Rihanna, fur accents and animal prints are her signature for elevating a fit. Often opting for a fur coat or fur stole, it’s the perfect method for keeping warm – especially in tinier outfits where the “S&M” star’s baby bump is the main attraction. So where does it all come together? Their eclectic, individual style. Here, the Harlem rapper lets his partner’s have all the shine and opts for neutral tones. Matching her fly, he elevates the calm fit with bold sunnies, cargo shorts and a leather jacket for texture.
“My Boyfriend’s From NY”
The sign of loving someone is adopting their lingo and of course, dressing like them. Well, Rihanna took her love to new heights at the 2022 Met Gala wearing a puffer dress. Yes, you read that correctly. The “California King Bed” singer channeled New York City street style via a puffer jacket inspired gown.
