The power couple of the music industry, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, made a splash in Paris as they met with French president Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace on Wednesday. The pair, who have been dating since 2020, looked stunning in matching black leather outfits, adding some edge to their elegant ensembles.
Rihanna, who is known for her fashion and beauty empire as well as her chart-topping hits, wore a Saint Laurent belted coat and a black pencil skirt, while A$AP Rocky sported a button-up shirt, a brown sweater with a diamanté neckline, and a patterned tie. Both of them accessorized with black sunglasses and leather jackets, creating a coordinated look that oozed style and sophistication.
The reason for their presidential visit is not clear, but it is not the first time that Rihanna has met with Macron. The singer, who is also a global ambassador for education, has previously discussed the issue of international education funding with the French leader, both in Paris and in Dakar, Senegal. Rihanna has been a vocal advocate for education, launching a scholarship program through her Clara Lionel Foundation and partnering with organizations like the Global Partnership for Education and Global Citizen.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s trip to Paris also coincided with the Paris Fashion Week, where the singer attended several shows, including the Christian Dior haute couture show on Monday. There, she had a viral moment with actress Natalie Portman, who was stunned by Rihanna’s compliment. “You are one of the hottest bitches in Hollywood forever,” Rihanna told Portman, who replied that she was about to “faint” from the praise.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, who share two sons, RZA and Riot, have been enjoying their romance in the City of Love, where they were spotted dining at the Siena restaurant on Tuesday. Rihanna even drew a self-portrait on a plate, which the restaurant shared on Instagram. The couple, who have been friends for years before becoming lovers, have also traveled to Barbados, New York, and Los Angeles together, showing that they are in it for the long haul.
