No one was more excited for Rihanna's halftime show [1] than A$AP Rocky. As the multihyphenate revealed her second pregnancy [2] to the world during her electrifying performance on Feb. 12, the rapper was seen cheering and dancing along [3] in an outfit that paid tribute to his love [4].
Designed by celebrity designer Jeff Hamilton [5], Rocky's patriotic jacket featured the stars and stripes of the American flag and the NFL logo across the front, while the back showcased an illustration of Rihanna's hand holding a football against a backdrop of the city. The art replicated the same tattoos she has on her hand [6] in real life. The new dad kept the rest of his ensemble simple, wearing a white tank top and baggy cargo pants with a diamond statement belt. He further accessorized with a Fenty baseball cap, an American-flag bandana, and stacks of studded cross necklaces.
Rocky has previously worn creations by Hamilton, who's custom-made jackets for athletes and stars like Kobe Bryant [7], The Weeknd, Drake, and LeBron James. Hamilton's one-of-a-kind outerwear [8] can cost anywhere from $850 to $6,000, though custom pieces are likely sold at a higher price point.
The rapper's outfit wasn't the only one that held significance at the Super Bowl. Though Rihanna began her set in a cropped leather Alaïa coat [9] and matching gloves, she finished the halftime show wearing a longer version of the coat, honoring the late fashion icon André Leon Talley [10]. Talley, who died at age 73 [11] in January 2022, was known for his blanket coats, particularly one red puffer style by Norma Kamali [12].
