How did you spend the first languid days of 2025? While, for many of us, it may feel like we need a holiday after the holidays, nothing would stop Rihanna and A$AP Rocky from heading out on date night.
But the couple kept things comfy and casual, mirroring each other’s style and vibe as we know they like to do. Photographed on January 2, they were spotted heading to Alba Accanto cocktail bar in New York City. Rihanna wore a brown and big lapelled fur coat, with an oversized black hoodie, blue baggy jeans, and boots. She carried a Bottega Veneta Kalimero leather bucket bag. The Fenty founder wore her curly hair up in a relaxed ponytail, with a red lip (is that a nod to the red lip theory trick?) and black-rimmed reading glasses.
Rocky also kept it casual, in a moss green knit beanie, a black Prada bomber, a grey oversized hoodie, khaki leather gloves, khaki and grey wash jeans, and stacked brown leather boots.
It was in stark contrast to their New Year’s Eve outfits, with Rihanna going full leather and all-black everything to ring in the new year. She wore a leather windbreaker by The Attico, her favorite shoe designer Amina Muaddi’s Jahleel slouchy thigh-highboots, and XL shield aviators from The Attico x Linda Farrow collab. What did carry through from evening to evening though, was her Bottega bag. Her favorite accessories—from bags to fur hats and even pieces from Rocky’s wardrobe—are easily reached for across a busy time for the couple in New York. And while you’re getting into the rhythm of a new year, you can certainly keep your own reading specs on too.
