Rihanna has redefined ‘boyfriend style’ with her recent appearance in New York on Tuesday. The Fenty founder effortlessly showcased her take on casual fashion, sporting a relaxed mix of slouchy separates in the Flatiron District. Her ensemble included a masculine cobalt blue sports jersey, PUMA X Ottolinger ‘Mostro Ecstasy’ trainers, and a pair of baggy cargo pants that we suspect belong to A$AP Rocky.
Having been in a relationship with Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers, for four years, it’s no surprise that the couple might share clothing. In 2022, Rocky was spotted in Los Angeles wearing the same camo pants, paired with a peachy pink hooded jacket and oversized silver chains. Known for his bold fashion choices and ability to blend high fashion with his signature relaxed style, Rocky’s wardrobe clearly influences Rihanna.
Rihanna has openly discussed how her style has evolved since becoming a mother. She mentioned in an interview with Interview magazine that she often feels underdressed compared to Rocky, who prefers dressing up even for casual occasions. “I be feeling bummy as [expletive] next to this man,” she said, adding that she feels like his assistant at times. The Diamonds singer, who has two children with Rocky, also shared how motherhood has shifted her fashion priorities. “It’s more like I spend my time getting the kids dressed to death, and then I’m like, ‘What’s the most comfortable outfit to wear around them?'” she explained. “Moms are lazy dressers in real life.”
