Rihanna and ASAP Rocky walked the 2026 Met Gala hand in hand.
The Diamonds hitmaker attended the annual fundraising fashion event held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art steps on May 4, donning a golden gown by Maison Margiela and Rocky could not stop gushing over his longtime partner.


While speaking about the theme of the event, “Costume Art,” Rocky gushed that the mo ther of his kids is the “art and the artist,” in a video posted by Variety on X.
Elsewhere in the video, Rocky, who was sporting a pink court over a white shirt and black bow, praised Rihanna as “shining like a diamond.”
The 37-year-old rapper further reflected on being loved by a black woman noting, “it feels amazing.”
He added, “Nothing else compares.”
Rocky’s pink court at the gala appeared to be a nod to his and Rihanna’s daughter, as the little bundle of joy, named Rocki Irish Mayers, was born back in September 2025.

The couple are also parents to sons RZA, born in 2022 and Riot, born in 2023.
