A$AP Rocky has solidified his status as a fashion innovator through collaborations and boundary-pushing looks.
Rocky’s style is marked by gender-fluid experimentation, such as his 2018 Gucci babushka headscarf and lace-adorned outfits. He often incorporates pearls, skirts and historically feminine accessories into his wardrobe. Over the years, he has collaborated with brands like Dior, Gucci and Puma—where he serves as creative director for its F1 partnership.
As Rocky prepares for this year’s Met Gala, WWD looks back at his red carpet moments through the years.
The 2025 Met Gala, themed “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” will take place on May 5 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This year’s event marks a significant focus on menswear, particularly highlighting the style and influence of Black men throughout history. The exhibition, which opens to the public on May 10, will explore the concept of the Black dandy and its impact on fashion and identity.
