A$AP ROCKY STEPS UP IN CHANEL AT THE CFDA STYLE ICON AWARD

At the 2025 CFDA Awards held at New York’s American Museum of Natural History, A$AP Rocky received the prestigious Style Icon Award, and he accepted it in unmistakable fashion. With Rihanna by his side as a fellow honoree, his style moment was equal parts homage and declaration.

Rocky wore a sharply tailored black silk gabardine jacket and trousers, layered over a bright yellow silk knit top. He accessorised with a signature Chanel belt, matching shoes, and pieces from his own fine-jewellery collection, creating a look that married streetwise confidence with luxury maison heritage.

Rihanna complemented the moment by opting for a sleek trench coat and white pleated trousers from Alaïa, reinforcing the evening’s twin narrative of modernity and refinement.

Though the outfit was deliberately understated compared with rocky’s earlier flamboyant fashion statements, it marked a significant shift: the rapper embracing his role not just as a style provocateur, but as a recognised pillar of fashion culture.
