It’s not every day that you see pop royalty and political powerhouses sharing the same room. Rihanna and her beau, ASAP Rocky, did just that, stepping out in style at the Élysée Palace to meet French President Emmanuel Macron.
Rihanna and ASAP Rocky rub shoulders with President Macron
Their visit to Paris, which coincided with the glamorous Paris Fashion Week, turned political as they made a pit stop at the President’s official residence.
The Diamonds singer and the 35-year-old rapper were a sight to behold, donning matching black leather outfits that screamed ‘power couple.’
Rihanna, looking rocker chic in a Saint Laurent belted coat and a black knee-length pencil skirt, accessorised her ensemble with ankle-strap heels and gold jewellery.
Her hairstyle – a medium-length blonde bob – perfectly complemented her look.
ASAP Rocky matched Rihanna’s vibe, sporting a button-up shirt and patterned tie under a brown sweater with an embellished neckline, paired with black trousers and a leather jacket.
While the reason for their meeting with Macron remains under wraps, it’s no secret that Rihanna has had previous engagements with the French president.
Their first meeting dates back to 2017 when they discussed international education funding.
Rihanna’s advocacy for education is well-known; she launched a scholarship program in 2016 through her non-profit organisation, the Clara Lionel Foundation. Her mission: to provide educational opportunities to deserving students around the globe.
In 2018, she and Macron reunited in Senegal to raise funds for education in developing countries.
Rihanna’s philanthropic efforts go hand in hand with her artistic endeavours. She’s not just a chart-topping musician; she’s a force for positive change, using her platform to advocate for education and opportunities for the underprivileged.
