Rihanna just made a stylish return to the red carpet and it was a big moment.
The 37-year-old singer and fashion icon stepped out at the 2025 CFDA Awards on Monday night, marking her first red carpet appearance since welcoming her daughter, Rocki Irish, to A$AP Rocky in September.
The event took place at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, where the superstar arrived alongside Rocky, who was honored during the ceremony.
According to PEOPLE, Rihanna described her look as a “postpartum-forward” style, something she called both “timeless” and “effortless.”
She wore a sleek black Alaïa trench coat from the Spring/Summer 2026 collection, tied at the waist and layered over a black turtleneck. She paired it with flowing white pants tucked into heels, creating a simple yet striking look.
She and Rocky paused for sweet photos together before heading inside.
Rocky went classic in a Chanel suit with white cuffed sleeves. He added a butter yellow V-neck sweater and cream Chanel shoes with black tips, plus layered jewelry, including vintage pieces and a diamond drop earring, giving his look a subtle flash.
The couple, who recently turned heads after Rocky called himself a “loving husband” in an interview, fit effortlessly on the carpet.
The evening was particularly meaningful for Rocky, who received this year’s Fashion Icon Award, an honor Rihanna herself earned in 2014.
Since becoming a father, Rocky has spoken about how fatherhood has changed his perspective on style. He says his father’s style is “much more focused,” moving from bold mixes to what he describes as a more “quiet luxury.”
He has also talked about saving clothes for his children so that, in his words, they “don’t have to put too much effort into sorting it out,” because his personal archive will be waiting for them.
With Rihanna making her red carpet comeback in her signature cool fashion and Rocky being celebrated for his influence on style, the pair delivered a standout moment, one that feels like a new chapter for the parents of three.
