Rihanna and A$AP Rocky went out together for the first time

Yesterday, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York hosted one of the most grandiose fashion events of the year-the Costume Institute Ball. This year's event was especially long-awaited — after all, last year the event was canceled due to the coronavirus. So the stars simply could not afford to miss it.

The guests of the evening were also his regular participant Rihanna, as well as her boyfriend A$AP Rocky. Her fans have been waiting for Rihanna's appearance for a very long time and have even worried that this time she will ignore the Met Gala. However, a few hours after the start, the Barbadian singer still appeared at the museum in the company of her lover.

For 33-year-old Rihanna and 32-year-old A$AP Rocky, this appearance in public was the debut appearance as a couple.

The lovers, who have long since declassified their romance, posed for photographers together and did not hide their tender feelings. They looked very happy, smiling, hugging and kissing.

Rihanna, who is known for her iconic images at the Met Gala, this time chose a black voluminous Balenciaga dress, and her companion appeared wrapped in an ERL patchwork blanket, which, according to him, was a message of unity. At some point, he threw it on the floor, showing what he was wearing under it — a black tuxedo and a white shirt.

We are part of the same fabric, part of the same flap,

— he said, having amused Rihanna.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have been dating for about a year, although they have known each other for many years. At first, they were connected only by friendship, but then they took a liking to each other. The rapper calls his beloved "the love of his life".
