Flyest Moments At A$AP Rocky’s Fashion Show During Paris Men’s Fashion Week

The rapper showed of the latest AWGE collection at a Paris Fashion Week show.

Long before he was named one of the co-chairs of the 2025 Met Gala, fans have been following A$AP Rocky’s incredible style journey. That journey has taken Rocky from New York City to Paris, where the rapper just showed off his latest AWGE collection at Paris Men’s Fashion Week with a spectacular show. The collection, titled “Obligatory Fashion,” was a mix of suiting and streetwear and featured models walking to new music by the “Sundress” artist.

The only thing this model’s sage green suit is guilty of is being one of the flyest looks to come down the runway.

The couple’s son Riot wasn’t just adorable in a Harley Davidson denim jacket and purple pants, he was totally attentive.”He is so well behaved. And a cutie,” wrote someone in the comments.

One Shoe Won’t Stop the Show

During the AWGE by A$AP Rocky show, a model lost her shoe, but she managed to slay the runway anyway 👏✨ #asaprocky #awge #pfw #model #catwalk #runway #shoe #foryou #outpump

During the show, a model lost a heel as she started her walk. But she barely missed a beat, quickly stepping back into her shoe and continuing to sashay down the runway. Those who witnessed the moment were definitely impressed. “Handled it like a queen 🔥🔥🔥,” wrote someone on TikTok. But other commenters wondered whether the shoe slip-up was part of the show. “[It] was planned,” wrote another commenter.

Play Your Cards Right
