A$AP Rocky’s Art Basel Superman Sweater Sparks Fan Debate
When Rihanna and A$AP Rocky strolled into Art Basel 2025 in Miami, the spotlight wasn’t just on the art — it was on them. The couple, fresh off welcoming their third child earlier this year, turned the fair into a runway with bold, runway-fresh looks that had fans and fashion insiders buzzing. Rihanna popped in a vibrant two-tone windbreaker and sleek leather pencil skirt straight from Saint Laurent’s Resort 2026 collection, while Rocky leaned into his status as a style icon with a Chanel Superman-inspired sweater. Unfortunately, Rocky’s superhero look didn’t land with everyone. Here’s what fans are talking about.
A$AP Rocky’s bold Superman-inspired Art Basel look didn’t land with every fan
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky arrived at Art Basel Miami Beach 2025 and turned the art-world event into one of fashion’s boldest statements of the season. Rihanna stood out in a sunset-toned two-tone windbreaker from Saint Laurent’s 2026 Resort collection. She paired the golden-yellow and burnt-orange jacket with a glossy, color-blocked leather pencil skirt in deep brown and rust tones. Rihanna paired the look with strappy heels, oversized sunglasses, and statement earrings.
Fans adored Rihanna’s outfit. But it’s Rocky’s sweater that’s causing a stir. The rapper wore a standout knit sweater from Chanel’s 2026 Métiers d’Art collection, according to Page Six. The piece, a Superman-inspired knit emblazoned with Chanel’s interlocking C motif instead of the classic “S,” nodded to pop culture nostalgia while firmly anchoring the look in high fashion. He styled it over a crisp white shirt and paired it with a red-and-black checkered knit tie, slouchy black trousers, chunky boots, and sleek Ray-Ban sunglasses from his new collection.
Some fans on Reddit noted how they wanted to own Rocky’s sweater. However, others said the rapper couldn’t “pull off” the look.
“Love those colors on Rihanna, but great to know there’s actually things Rocky can’t pull off,” one Reddit user commented. “It looks like a child’s sweater; he needed the cool blazer.”
“Rihanna looks great, loving the colors and mix of fabrics,” another user wrote. “Rocky looks goofy.”
