We’re almost halfway through summer, and in Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s rulebook, that means it’s time for neon fur. The couple, who recently confirmed their relationship in GQ and have since been PDA-ing their way through the fine city of New York, were photographed in Queens yesterday, filming what appears to be an aspirational fire escape hang. The set was for a music video, likely for a track off Rocky’s aptly titled fourth album “All Smiles.” There were lime-Slushee-hued ushankas. There were jewel-tone grills. There was at least one joint. In an attempt to process it all, let us walk you through every fluorescent detail.
In a neon Romeo and Juliet homage that would fill Baz Luhrman with raging jealousy, the two dine on a fire escape, Rocky’s Timbs perched ever so casually on the ledge. Yes, Rihanna’s heels do match his hat. Great start.
Rihanna amps up the party a notch.
Lest you forget that Rihanna can wear fur in July any damn way she pleases, she switches to a fuzzy black bathrobe between scenes.
Meanwhile, Rocky mugs for the cameras solo, because what is a healthy relationship without a little independence?
Rocky brings the party down to the streets, waving a yellow bandana like a bare-chested, heavily bejeweled matador. May all your block parties this summer look like this one.
