Recently, at the Los Angeles premiere of Spike Lee's film, Highest 2 Lowest, A$AP Rocky graced the red carpet. The artist, making his mark as an actor in the upcoming feature, presented a sharp image in a relaxed nylon suit from ERL's Fall 2025 collection. His attire was complemented by a unique polka-dot tie, a creation by Eli Russell Linnetz, the designer behind ERL. This sophisticated look was curated by Matthew Henson, the same stylist responsible for Rocky's memorable quilted blanket ensemble at the 2021 Met Gala.
The outfit worn by A$AP Rocky might have struck many as familiar, and for good reason. Just the previous month, Rihanna was seen in the identical suit and tie during an outing at her preferred dining establishment, Giorgio Baldi. While Rihanna is known for her audacious fashion choices, having previously worn sculptural Alaïa to the same venue, her interpretation of the ERL suit diverged notably. She opted to forgo the nylon button-down shirt, instead pairing the suit with a transparent Savage X Fenty bra, further solidifying her status as a leading innovator in bold maternity fashion.
A$AP Rocky and Rihanna are undeniably one of the most fashion-forward pairs in the public eye. Their tendency to delve into each other's closets, exchanging garments and amplifying their collective style impact, is a testament to their unique bond. In a past interview on the red carpet of the 2025 Met Gala, A$AP Rocky light-heartedly remarked on Rihanna's habit of "stealing all my pieces, my favorite pieces," jokingly adding his anticipation of reciprocating. This latest shared fashion moment confirms that their sartorial collaboration continues to be seamless and impactful, with both artists looking impeccable.
