The A$AP Through the creation of a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry, Rocky is paying tribute to Rihanna.
The “Fashion Killa” rapper, who is 36 years old, gave Vogue a glimpse behind the scenes of his Harlem-inspired costume for the 2025 Met Gala, which took place on May 5 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
During the sequence that takes place after the credits roll, the rapper is shown displaying an elaborate piece of jewelry. It is a statue ring made of pure gold that is designed to mimic the shape of the 37-year-old creator of Fenty Beauty.
The “Diamonds” singer was shown in the statue ring wearing a strapless, cleavage-baring minidress that was adorned with brilliant diamonds. The statue ring was a reproduction of the singer. It was designed to seem like long braids, and the head of the statue was adorned with gold chain links that swung about with each small movement of Rocky’s hand. This was done to replicate the way that hair swings with each turn of the head.
Rocky couldn’t help but gush over how closely the ring, which was made by Jason Arasheben of Jason of Beverly Hills, resembled his girlfriend’s appearance and resemblance. After retrieving the ring from his jewelry box, Rocky couldn’t help but express his shock and admiration.
“Take a look at this lovely item… Rocky was shown in the video putting the ring on his left pinky finger and bringing it up to the camera so that viewers could get a closer look at it. He stated, “My shorty got the little fatty on her too.” You see that forehead, don’t you? You are aware of who it is.
In spite of the fact that Rocky displayed his Rihanna ring in a shot taken behind the scenes at the Met Gala, the rapper did not wear the elaborate item on the most important night out in the fashion industry.
Rocky, on the other hand, donned a unique design that was created by his AWGE creative firm. It consisted of a black vest, a white button down blouse, pants, and a traditional black tie.
In order to complete his ensemble, the father of two wore a parka that was inspired by Marmot, which was a reference to the coats that were popular among the children in his area. He combined this outfit with oxford shoes that were designed by AWGE in conjunction with Christian Louboutin brand. Rocky chose Bulgari rings in lieu of the Rihanna ring, and he also wore a necklace, a brooch, and several stud earrings from the brand to round off his ensemble.
The topic for the Met Gala in 2025 was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” and the exhibition that accompanied it in the spring of 2025 was also titled “Superfine.” There was an emphasis on menswear and suiting throughout the show, and the dress code for the evening was “Tailored for You,” which served as a means to highlight this theme.
The book “Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity,” which was written by Monica L. Miller in 2009, served as the inspiration for both the topic and the exhibition that will take place in the spring of 2025 at the museum.
Rihanna used her presence at the annual high-fashion charity event to reveal that she and Rocky are expecting their third child together. In addition to serving as co-chair for the event alongside Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, and honorary chair LeBron James, Rocky participated in the Met Gala in 2025. This was a momentous occasion for Rocky.
Rocky told reporters at the event, “It feels amazing, you know,” when Rihanna displayed her baby belly. This information was obtained from the Associated Press. “The moment has come for us to demonstrate to the public what we have been preparing. “And I am glad that everyone is happy for us because we are definitely happy,” she said.
