A$AP Rocky, meanwhile, took cues from an outfit worn by the 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.

On the other, Caresha “Yung Miami” Brownlee, of the City Girls, underwent a makeup test as nearby trays of “CG” jewelry (in the style of Chanel’s double C logo, CG for City Girls) glinted in the glow. These bijoux were made by Brownlee’s stylist for the night, Marni Senofonte. As the evening wore on, both stars’ fits would be styled, destyled, restyled, accessorized, hemmed, fitted, pinned, darted, and deconstructed. It takes an army— times two if you’re one of the highest profile duos in entertainment.
