When you’re Rihanna, the reigning queen of fashion and beauty, it takes a lot to make you feel like a sartorial sidekick. But the megastar has admitted that her partner A$AP Rocky has a knack for upstaging her in the style department.
In a recent interview with Interview Magazine, Rihanna candidly opened up about feeling “bummy” next to her fashionable boyfriend. “I be feeling bummy as shit next to this man. I feel like, goddamn, I look like his assistant,” she told editor-in-chief Mel Ottenberg.
The reason? A$AP Rocky just can’t resist going all out, even for the most casual of occasions. “I’m getting on a plane. We should be in sweats. He wants to be in a full Bottega suit. I’m like, ‘Why you got to do that to me?'” Rihanna quipped.
It’s no wonder Rihanna feels that way – A$AP Rocky has established himself as a true fashion killa, as evidenced by his boastful lyrics, “Huh, A$AP get like me, never met a motherfucker fresh like me, all these motherfuckers wanna dress like me.”
While the “Umbrella” singer is no stranger to making bold fashion statements – from her iconic maternity looks to her Savage X Fenty lingerie line – it seems A$AP Rocky’s love of high-fashion looks puts her stylish efforts to shame.
The rapper has fully immersed himself in the fashion world, fronting campaigns for brands like Bottega Veneta and championing the hype around the Saint Laurent teddy jacket. Meanwhile, Rihanna has collaborated with the likes of Dior and Manolo Blahnik, but apparently, her rockstar beau just can’t be outshone when it comes to high-fashion ensembles.
“It’s more like I spend my time getting the kids dressed to death, and then I’m like, ‘What’s the most comfortable outfit to wear around them?'” the mom-of-two admitted. “Moms are lazy dressers in real life.”
But Rihanna isn’t letting A$AP Rocky’s fashion supremacy get her down. When asked if she feels competitive with her partner, she simply replied, “No.” After all, the true power couple dynamic is all about shining together – even if one half does it a little brighter.
We have just one question for Rihanna: Where’s the music, sis 👀?
