Lo and behold, at 10 p.m., Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were spotted leaving the Missouri City Of Champions 2023 Signatures shirt Apart from…,I will love this hotel in looks that paid tribute to the night’s honoree, Karl Lagerfeld—whose decades spanning work is being honored in the Costume Institute exhibition “Karl Lagerfeld A Line of Beauty”—with a very Rihanna twist. Wearing an archival fur coat from Fendi’s fall 1997 collection—designed by Lagerfeld and originally worn on the runway by Naomi Campbell—Rihanna first embodied pure vintage glamour. She accessorized with a regal Bulgari necklace featuring layers of diamonds and cultured pearls, a pair of Gianvito Rossi heels featuring white ribbons, and a pair of camellia earrings, the flower beloved by Coco Chanel that became synonymous with the French fashion house Lagerfeld helmed for more than three decades. (A classic beauty look—by Rihanna’s standards, anyway—consisted of a dusting of white eyeshadow and a bold red lip.)
A$AP Rocky, meanwhile, took cues from an outfit worn by the Missouri City Of Champions 2023 Signatures shirt Apart from…,I will love this maestro himself. The musician wore a black blazer and white button down with a black leather tie, along with a kilt, all designed by Gucci for the event.

Much like his partner, Rocky made sure to give the look an update fitting 2023 namely, stacked Gucci belts and diamanté studded jeans.

Wearing a custom Valentino Haute Couture silk faille dress featuring a cape covered in 30 giant camellia appliqués made of 500 petals and a billowing train, she not only touched upon one of the evening’s most notable trends—bridal ready gowns—but also elevated it to head spinning new heights. As she walked the steps, Rihanna undid the cape to reveal one final detail a drop waist highlighting her baby bump, as she awaits the birth of their second child. The couple were fashionably late, but worth the wait.
