Rihanna's Fashion Choice at The Fashion Awards Draws Cookie Monster Comparisons

Rihanna’s latest fashion choice has sparked a surprising reaction from some fans. Attending The Fashion Awards in London with her boyfriend, rapper A$AP Rocky, the singer turned heads in a bold look. She wore a shaggy, light blue oversized hat and matching coat, paired with a black Christian Lacroix FW02 Couture dress. While the ensemble was certainly eye-catching, it didn’t sit well with everyone.

Some fans on X (formerly Twitter) took to social media, humorously comparing Rihanna to the beloved Sesame Street character, Cookie Monster. Comments like “Cookie Monster” and “Is Rihanna being attacked by the cookie monster?” filled the platform. One user even mocked the look as “Cookie Monster couture.”

Despite the online chatter, Rihanna wasn’t the only celebrity to grace the red carpet at the awards show. The event also featured appearances from stars like Rita Ora, Joe Jonas, Alessandra Ambrosio, Maria Sharapova, James Corden, Chloe Bailey, Venus Williams, Julia Fox, Ashley Graham, and Issa Rae.
