Barbadian singer and businesswoman, Rihanna has opened up on tactics she adopts when dressing up her sons, RZA, 23 months, and Riot, 8.
The international songstress revealed that she usually turns to her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, for inspiration when it comes to their children’s fashion-forward looks.
“When I dress them, I always try to dress them like Rocky,” the Work singer, 36, revealed at a Fenty x Puma event in London on Wednesday, April 17, 2024.
Rihanna explained that while she’s “always” imagined “dressing a girl,” she didn’t quite know what to do with boys.
She opened up by saying that even though she has enough ideas to dress female children, it becomes a challenge when deciding on what to do when dressing up sons.
