Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's Most Fashion-Forward Outfits Through the Years

Ever since their undeniably passionate performance at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards, it seems as if the romance between A$AP Rocky and Barbadian singer and designer Rihanna was simply imminent. The release of Rocky's "Fashion Killa" music video shortly thereafter only teased fans even more. Though they've both had their fair share of relationships, this love connection — and the coordinated outfits that followed — was bound to happen. It took nearly seven years for the couple to submit to their bona-fide chemistry, but Rihanna and Rocky wasted no time in making appearances. Though they are each certified fashion icons in their own right, their relationship has birthed legendary looks, not to mention two sons with an equally high-fashion wardrobe.

While Rihanna is widely known for her groundbreaking style and Fenty designs, Rocky is no stranger when it comes to making a name for himself in the fashion world. Founder of creative agency AWGE, Rocky collaborated with luxury brand Marine Serre on an eco-sustainable collection made from regenerated materials. In his song "Multiply," the rapper describes his fashion sense: "I'm a trendsetter, you ain't even peep that," he says — a line that couldn't be more accurate. Rocky has debuted some of the biggest trends — he was one of the first rappers to style a bandana as a "babushka" in 2019, which later became a treasured spring and summer accessory. Rocky's daring personal style combined with his laidback aura perfectly complements his fashionable partner's looks.

Rihanna is not only the brainchild behind the highly-coveted Fenty brand but also a street-style legend for today's generation. As if her original style wasn't iconic enough, the business mogul's pregnancies unlocked her unmatched ability to elevate maternity style. She developed a signature of showing off her baby bump in all her looks, from the silver Coperni crisscross bra top to the red Loewe jumpsuit she wore to perform at the Super Bowl.

Ultimately, although the two musicians possess individual style that's nothing short of iconic, their coordinating looks prove that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are just made for each other. From their heart-warming PDA moments to sitting front row at the buzziest Fashion Week shows, the dynamic duo have revolutionized celebrity couple dressing as we know it.

Ahead, scroll for some boundary-pushing moments from the fashionable couple.
