The stage of London’s Royal Albert Hall shone under the spotlight on December 2, 2024, at the prestigious Fashion Awards. Among the many guests, the glamorous couple formed by Rihanna and A$AP Rocky captured all the attention.
A memorable evening for A$AP Rocky
The American rapper, whose real name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers, has been honored with the prestigious “Cultural Innovator Award”. Recognition for his influence on fashion and popular culture. His notable contribution includes such collaborations as Moncler, The City of Genius, and his leading role at Paris Fashion Week. Caroline Rush, Director of the British Fashion Council, praised his key role at the intersection of culture and innovation.
On stage, dressed in an elegant Bottega Veneta suit, A$AP Rocky delivered an emotional speech. He recalled his first participation in 2019 alongside the then award-winning Rihanna: “It’s a matter of time… Young designers today have to believe in their potential.”
Rihanna, timeless icon
Rihanna, true to her status as a fashion icon, dazzled in an asymmetrical lace dress adorned with feathers. This fashion gem is from the Christian Lacroix autumn-winter 2002-2003 collection. The retro silhouette, inspired by 50s pin-ups, was enhanced by a floppy hat and opera gloves.
This couple, at the crossroads of fashion and music, embodies the power of creativity and union. The Fashion Awards 2024 would not have been the same without their brilliance.
