When it comes to styling their toddler boys, ASAP Rocky knows mom Rihanna has got this in the bag.
On Wednesday (Dec. 4), Rocky and the “Work” singer, both 36, attended the Footwear News Achievement Awards 2024 in New York City, where the rapper was honored for his continuing partnership with Puma. While on the carpet, Rocky spoke exclusively to PEOPLE about his sons – RZA, 2, and Riot Rose 15 months – fashion choices, and the mastermind behind them.
“That’s their mother by herself,” Rocky said of Rihanna when asked who typically styles the two boys. “I don’t have any contribution to when my sons get dressed.”
“Sometimes she dresses them like me with kilts and all of that, but that’s all their moms, man. She got good style and taste.”

The dad of two also shared what he hopes his kids take away from his style.
“I hope they take away my originality and confidence,” he began. “It’s in their blood and their genes, no pun intended.”
Speaking more about his personal style, Rocky explained how his fashion choices have evolved since welcoming his kids.
“If I could define my dad style, I would say it’s way more focused. Prior to that, it was really just like absurd outfits, just mismatching everything for the sake of it. But now I think it’s a bit more quiet luxury.”

For the couple’s date night out, Rocky looked dapper in a leather jacket that featured a brown-colored, fur collar. He paired the outfit with black pants, shoes, and sunglasses.
As for Rihanna, she wore a floor-length white buttoned dress that was slightly unbuttoned at the top and bottom. She accessorized with a diamond choker necklace and styled her hair in a high bun. The mom of two completed the updo with straight bangs.
During Rocky’s acceptance speech for Collaboration of the Year with Puma – which Rihanna was seen proudly recording – he thanked everybody for their unwavering support.

“Thank you to the Fashion Network,” he said. “Shout out to all the other footwear brands, man. I mean, I think unity is what it is.”
The annual award show – often called the Shoe Oscars, per Footwear News – celebrates the hit makers, style stars, best brand stories, ardent philanthropists, emerging talents and industry veterans.
Last month, the ASAP Rocky x PUMA Inhale sneakers were released, showcasing a classic look with vibrant, modern accents.
