Rihanna's NYFW Wardrobe Malfunction
Rihanna suffered a wardrobe malfunction at A$AP Rocky's AWGE fashion show in New York when the high slit in her black leather AWGE coat revealed her backside as she entered the Hall des Lumieres. Despite the mishap, Rihanna's supporting appearance for Rocky stole the show and set social channels buzzing.
- The AWGE show marked the brand's third runway presentation but its first in New York City, having previously shown in Paris. - The event took place at Hall des Lumières, a digital art center located in the former Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank in downtown Manhattan. - A$AP Rocky's concept for the show was to "break the fourth wall" by making the backstage hair and makeup stations a central part of the runway set, exposing the process of creation. - The Fall/Winter 2026 collection featured a mix of streetwear, tailored pieces, and accessories that reflected A$AP Rocky's personal style, including nods to fatherhood with models pushing strollers down the runway. - AWGE, founded by A$AP Rocky, is a creative agency and collective involved in music, fashion, and film, rather than just a traditional fashion brand. - The show featured a star-studded front row with celebrities such as Julia Fox and Young M.A in attendance to support the collection's debut. - Rihanna's coat was a piece from the AWGE Fall 2026 collection that was simultaneously being shown on the runway, giving new meaning to "straight-off-the-runway" style. - The show was delayed by approximately 30 minutes, with the event officially starting shortly after Rihanna took her seat in the front row.
