Fashion Trailblazers A$AP Rocky and Rihanna Now Have Matching CFDA Fashion Icon Awards

A$AP Rocky received the 2025 CFDA Fashion Icon Award, joining Rihanna who won in 2014, marking the first time a couple has both earned this honor.

  • On Nov. 3, A$AP Rocky received the 2025 CFDA Fashion Icon Award at the American Museum of Natural History, making him and Rihanna the first couple to both win the honor and walk the red carpet together.
  • A$AP Rocky's fashion work and leadership led to the honor, with roles at Ray‑Ban, AWGE, and co-chairing the Met Gala underpinning the CFDA Fashion Icon Award, presented by Anna Wintour.
  • Speaking from the podium, Rocky thanked Rihanna as his inspiration and reflected on becoming a 'girl dad' while celebrating life with their newborn daughter Rocki Irish Mayers, born in September.
  • The night also honored established and emerging designers across categories, including Ralph Lauren, Mary‑Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Thom Browne, while a starry guest list featured Naomi Campbell and Lily Allen.
  • After a not‑guilty verdict in the felony assault trial earlier this year, the ceremony served as public support, with Rihanna's surprise appearance marking a full‑circle moment for Rocky and the CFDA audience.
