A$AP Rocky may be dating one of the most stylish women in the world, but Rihanna actually steals many of her most iconic pieces from his closet. Can you blame her? His personal archive is filled with some of the most tempting designer bags money can buy—not to mention several that money actually cannot buy.
In recent weeks, the rapper has been putting his colorful array of Bottega Veneta bags to good use as he schleps to and from the studio in New York City. The newest addition to his collection seems to be a gigantic orange tote featuring the brand's signature Intrecciato weave. Normally, this style retails for a cool $14,500. But upon closer inspection, Rocky's version is actually customized with four tiny "R" charms in the lower right corner—a nod to his and Rihanna's names, as well as those of their two sons, RZA and Riot. Fatherhood has never looked so chic.
Days later, Rocky pulled his slightly smaller baby blue Intrecciato bag out of storage for another studio session. The rapper previously carried the same bag during an outing with Rihanna in Los Angeles in mid-December.
It's worth mentioning, of course, that Rocky has a contractual relationship with Bottega Veneta. He's starred in multiple campaigns for the Italian brand, including a paparazzi-inspired photo shoot for the Pre-Spring 2024 collection that saw the star pose with a large bubblegum pink Andiamo bag. He even circled back to the ribbon-pink caryall for a dinner date with Rihanna to celebrate his 35th birthday in October 2023.
More recently, he brought a red snake print Sardine bag to sit front-row at the designer's Spring 2025 show during Milan Fashion Week last September.
A month later in October, he traded in the sculptural top-handle bag for a hot-off-the-runway yellow plastic shopping bag—the pièce de résistance of his 36th birthday outfit.
Surely, it won't be long before Rihanna snags the playful piece for herself. But in the meantime, she's treated us to plenty of borrowed-from-the-boyfriend moments. On Dec. 29, the mother of two was spotted shopping at Target in NYC wearing Rocky's $1,400 Bottega Veneta Haddock boots with a vintage leather jacket and jeans.
Dipping into one anothers' closets isn't new for the couple. In October, on a rainy day stroll through the city during Shanghai Fashion Week, Rihanna and Rocky matched in cherry red sneakers, which just so happen to come from the rapper's PUMA Inhale collaboration. RiRi even color-coordinated her PUMA sneakers with a ruby Bottega Veneta Intrecciato camera bag.
Clearly, none of Rocky's possessions are safe from Rihanna's grasp. But frankly, would we have it any other way? The best celebrity couple outfits come from those who eschew outdated notions about gender and fashion in favor of a truly unified closet. Perhaps Rocky will start borrowing Rihanna's extensive collection of fluffy fur hats next.
