Anna Wintour didn’t hesitate to gush when she was asked about one of the most influential couples in fashion ― A$AP Rocky and Rihanna.
“First of all, they’re very talented, they’re very brilliant,” Wintour said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight last week.
“I think they have wonderful values, and they have an enormous amount of style,” the editor-in-chief of Vogue added.
A$AP Rocky is co-hosting this year’s upcoming Met Gala with Wintour in May, alongside Formula 1’s Lewis Hamilton, artist Pharrell Williams and actor Colman Domingo. LeBron James will also serve as an honorary co-chair.
Wintour said in her interview with ET that she “actually talked to A$AP Rocky yesterday about what he was going to wear, but no clue on what she’s going to wear yet.”
The year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” will be the first to focus solely on menswear since 2003.
“I think it’s wonderful that the museum is putting a spotlight on menswear for the first time in a long time, and also the amazing talent of many Black designers,” Wintour said. “And for me, it’s a joy and an honor to work at the Met.”
