Rihanna and A$AP Rocky - the star couple of the 2024 Fashion Awards.
This year's Fashion Awards ceremony was once again filled with emotion. The presence of Rihanna, who accompanied her partner A$AP Rocky at the Royal Albert Hall, did not go unnoticed. A sense of déjà vu? That's because in 2019, the duo had already attended the event in London to celebrate the achievements of the singer and the businesswoman. 5 years later, now as a couple and parents of two children, the two returned to the red carpet, this time to hail the American rapper's dedication to fashion. A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Atelaston Myers, was honored with the Cultural Innovator Award at the awards ceremony. "From his debut at Paris Fashion Week to designing Moncler's retrofuturistic 'City of Genius' in Shanghai, A$AP Rocky has made a huge impact on the creative industries and popular culture this year," said Caroline Rush, chief executive of the British Fashion Council, in a press release.

This is not the first time the singer has chosen outfits from the archives of fashion houses. In 2022, when she announced her first pregnancy, she appeared on the streets of New York in a candy pink Chanel coat from the autumn-winter 1996-1997 collection.
Rihanna attended the ceremony alongside A$AP Rocky. On stage, wearing a Bottega Veneta night suit and Pandora ear jewelry, the latter had a few words to say about his partner and the memory of their first appearance at the Fashion Awards: 'It's about time. Five years ago, I was invited by my partner because she was getting an award, and when I saw her on stage, I said I could do the same. And here we are. I would like the young designers starting out today to believe in this because they can do it too," he says.
