Rihanna and A$AP Rocky received public attention in two ways during their hip hop star’s legal proceedings because of his lawsuit as well as their eye-catching courtroom attire. The couple made their appearance at the Los Angeles courthouse on February 18 in coordinating grey pinstripe outfits, which transformed the serious trial into a style event.
Rihanna revealed her corporate uniform style through a grey pinstripe button-down shirt and blazer and brown wide-leg trousers paired together. Her strong lipstick choice brought vibrant red color to match her black-and-white outfits, which managed to stand out against courtroom dullness.
A$AP Rocky’s Coordinated Look
The musician Rakim Athelaston Mayers chose a coordinated ensemble of black suits composed of pinstripe fabric sections. The courtroom could not restrain his signature style, so he paired a blue and white checkered button-up shirt with a crisp white tie above his charcoal black pinstripe button-down suit and blazer and brown wide-leg trousers.
The couple showed complete composure as judicial tensions rose throughout the entire trial. A not-guilty verdict by the jury triggered such strong emotions in A$AP Rocky that he lost control of his station. A captured video showed A$AP Rocky dashing to comfort Rihanna during her tears while hugging her as he stood before a video camera recording the dramatic end of their tense legal battle.
A Family Affair
RZA, who was two years old, and Riot, who turned nine months, attended with their parents at the courthouse. A courtroom appearance by the Family became an unusual opportunity to see them together in public after their previous courtroom visits. The courtroom fashion display by A$AP Rocky during his legal proceedings caused spectators to question whether they were genuinely handling the trial or executing a staged photo opportunity.
