<p id=”par-2_84″>On Dec. 1, 2025, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky turned heads at the 35th annual Gotham Awards in New York City, delivering a glamorous red carpet moment. Rihanna appeared radiant in a custom bubblegum-pink gown designed by Balenciaga’s new creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli. <a href=”https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a69599209/rihanna-asap-rocky-2025-gotham-film-awards-red-carpet-photos/?utm_source=chatgpt.com” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Harper’s Bazaar</a> reports the strapless gown had a bubble bodice, which was then cinched in toward the waist, defining Rihanna’s upper and lower halves. The bottom half of the dress was also bulbous in shape and ended with a long train. </p>

<p id=”par-3_42″>While the dress itself was statement enough, Rihanna paired it with a feathered cap of the same pink color. She then paired the dramatic dress and hat with black leather opera gloves and a gold necklace adorned with pink and purple gemstones.</p>

<p id=”par-4_41″>A$AP Rocky offered a clean, classic contrast to Rihanna’s bold, avant-garde ensemble. He sported a black Chanel suit featuring a long blazer and straight-leg pants. Additionally, he wore a white shirt and a black-and-white striped tie to match, and diamond earrings.</p>

<p id=”par-5_27″>Rihanna and Rocky made their appearance at the Gotham Awards to honor Rocky, who was nominated for the Breakthrough Performer award for his role in Spike Lee’s <em>Highest 2 Lowest.</em></p>

<p id=”par-6_34″>A viral moment at the 2025 Gotham Awards is making its rounds. The clip posted by <a href=”https://x.com/TMZ/status/1995863614415044965″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>TMZ</a> shows Rihanna ready to leave the show while A$AP Rocky appears to linger in the crowd. </p>

<p id=”par-7_22″>It all starts with Rihanna seemingly telling Rocky that she’s heading toward the exit. Rocky then appears to offer a rebuttal. </p>

<p id=”par-8_38″>“You told me we were leaving,” Rihanna tells him, surprised by his reaction. She then appears to make her way to the exit as Rocky follows — though he still makes time to pose for the cameras. </p>

<p id=”par-9_29″>Fans on X didn’t think Rihanna snapped at Rocky. They defended Rihanna’s tone, noting that the clip wasn’t nearly as controversial as some made it out to be. </p>

<p id=”par-11_20″>“Family support is just … spousal support, everything,” he said. “It just means a lot. It goes a long way.”</p>

<p id=”par-12_45″>Rocky and Rihanna <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/asap-rocky-rihanna-married-answer-rumors-explained.html/”>haven’t officially confirmed that they’re married</a>, but comments like these continue to fuel public speculation.

<p id=”par-13_27″>Rihanna also praised Rocky at the Gotham Awards. “I know I chose right,” she said to an Associated Press reporter, according to <a href=”https://www.bet.com/article/1u4n12/rihanna-declares-i-chose-right-when-asked-about-aap-rocky-at-the-gotham-awards” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>BET</a>. “I got good taste.”</p>
