Rihanna is back on the red carpet a few weeks after giving birth to her third child, daughter Rocki Irish.
The pop icon made a stunning return to the red carpet at the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards on Monday night. The event marked her first public appearance since welcoming her first daughter with partner A$AP Rocky in September, and she certainly didn’t disappoint. Known for her unique style and trendsetting fashions, Rihanna showcased a look that was both chic and relatable as a new mom.
As she spoke to reporters about her ensemble, Rihanna described her outfit as embodying a “postpartum-forward look,” a term that resonates with many mothers navigating their style after childbirth.

Underneath, a black turtleneck peeked out, adding to the outfit’s refined and timeless appeal. She completed the look with draped white pants that subtly tucked into her stylish heels.
Before stepping inside the venue at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, she joined A$AP Rocky on the red carpet, where the proud parents shared sweet moments, highlighting their supportive love for one another.
A$AP Rocky, who was being honored at the awards, complemented Rihanna’s stunning look with a classic Chanel suit, featuring a striking jacket with bold white cuffs. He layered this sophisticated piece over a butter yellow V-neck sweater and completed the ensemble with cream-colored Chanel shoes, detailed with black tips.

From diamond drop earrings to a vintage diamond ring, and even an opal and diamond brooch from the 1940s, Rocky’s accessories highlighted his impeccable taste and eye for detail.
The 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards celebrated not only Rocky’s accomplishments but also highlighted the fashion legacy of Rihanna, who was awarded the same honor in 2014. That iconic moment saw her in a breathtaking Adam Selman-designed gown adorned with over 216,000 Swarovski crystals, solidifying her status as a fashion trendsetter.
