A$AP Rocky confesses to sneaking clothes from Rihanna's closet
In a candid and playful chat on Vogue's The Run-Through podcast, rapper and fashion icon A$AP Rocky revealed a cheeky secret. He admitted that he regularly steals clothes from his girlfriend Rihanna's wardrobe-sometimes without her even realising.
The 36-year-old artist is co-chairing the Met Gala 2025 alongside heavyweights like Lewis Hamilton. He opened up about their stylish tug-of-war over fashion pieces.
Rocky explained, 'Man, pardon my language, I do what I want… I want to represent, I want to be a catalyst for daring men.'
He challenges traditional fashion norms, blurring the lines between masculinity and femininity with bold choices like kilts and pearls.
'I don't know who drew that line, but I don't see any barriers for me,' he said.
Rocky admitted with a grin that Rihanna often raids his wardrobe, and he happily returns the favour. 'It's not fair that my girl can just go in my closet and take anything from it,' he joked, according to Page Six.
'That goes both ways. She has pieces she doesn't know I stole.'
'Sometimes you see her on an interview or a paparazzi photo and I'm like, 'Wait, there goes my Miu Miu f-king jacket! I was looking for that since 2021!''.
Rihanna, the global fashion queen herself, has admitted she sometimes feels 'bummy' next to Rocky's sartorial flair.
This is especially so when she's in casual sweats and he's dressed to the nines in a full Bottega Veneta suit.
This playful fashion rivalry only adds to their charm as a power couple who share a mutual love for style that defies convention.
With the Met Gala theme this year celebrating Black dandy style, Rocky's approach is a perfect fit.
Expect the rapper to turn heads in something bold. Whether it's a piece borrowed from Rihanna's enviable closet or a daring original look.
In Rocky's own words, 'I want to be a catalyst for daring men.' And with his fearless fashion choices and cheeky closet raids, he's certainly living up to that promise.

Salma Hayek Pinault's natural beauty secrets and makeup tips
Salma Hayek Pinault shares her beauty secrets. Image: YouTube screenshot While many celebrities turn to cosmetic procedures in the pursuit of youth, Salma Hayek Pinault is choosing a different path by embracing her natural beauty and ageing gracefully. In a candid feature for Vogue's 'Beauty Secrets' series, the 58-year-old actress and producer opened up about her beauty routine, offering insight into how she maintains her glow without relying on invasive treatments. Hayek revealed that she's been experimenting with makeup since she was just 13. Now she prefers to keep things as natural as possible. One unique tip she shared is that she embraces the natural darkening of her eyelids with age, likening it to a built-in eyeshadow. 'I kind of like it,' she said. 'It's like natural eyeshadow.' Though she wears a lightweight foundation, the "Frida" star uses a touch of concealer to even out her skin tone, particularly on age spots. 'I don't want to look over-produced,' she explained. 'Everybody is too over-produced and they look gorgeous, but that is not a look I want for myself.' Staying true to her down-to-earth style, Hayek applies most of her makeup with her fingers, keeping the process simple. When it comes to common signs of ageing like crow's feet, she avoids fillers entirely. She admitted that she once thought the bumps on the sides of women's faces were the result of poorly done cosmetic work, only to realise later that these changes were just part of the natural ageing process. Though she embraces her grey hair, she has a clever trick for blending it without dyeing. She uses a touch of black mascara, gently brushing it through any visible white strands around her face. She also encourages women to adapt their makeup routines with age, reminding them that what worked for them when they were younger will not work for them now. Recently, Hayek made headlines for appearing in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit issue, proudly showcasing her stunning, age-defying figure and reinforcing her commitment to authenticity.
