At the 2025 Gotham Awards last night, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky reminded everyone that they’re always on the cutting edge of fashion. The red carpet’s best dressed couple sourced their looks from the runway debuts of the new creative directors of two historic French fashion houses.
Rihanna slipped into a head-to-toe look from Pierpaolo Piccioli’s spring 2026 runway show for Balenciaga. Her strapless dress was designed with a strapless, free-form bodice—an homage Cristobal Balenciaga’s sack dress—and matched her feathered cap. The dress’s hue—a soft pink—could hardly be a coincidence, considering the couple just welcomed their first baby girl, Rocki Irish Mayers, back in August . Rihanna finished off the look with leather opera gloves and jewels courtesy of Bulgari.
