A$AP Rocky is playing about with his fashion choices, with the rapper seen rocking a leather skirt during an outing in New York City.
The rapper, who welcomed a baby with his girlfriend Rihanna earlier this year, headed to a meeting in the Big Apple and was seen donning in head-to-toe Givenchy.
It was an all-black look for the star, who headed to the Mercer hotel, with the star showing his legs in a knee-length leather skirt.
It could be an homage to Kanye West, who previously wore a Givenchy leather skirt/kilt at a Hurricane Sandy gig in 2012 – or, maybe he’s just following the trend of men rocking skirts and dresses.
After all, he’s in pretty good company, with Brad Pitt, Harry Styles, Jared Leto, and Jaden Smith all having rocked dresses and skirts, especially on the red carpet.
In fact, Brad recently said of his decision to wear a skirt on the red carpet of the Bullet Train premiere: ‘We’re all going to die, so let’s mess it up.’

Intriguing words.
A$AP has had a busy time of it – from becoming a new dad to jetting to England to perform at Wireless festival.
The 33-year-old gave his first UK performance in six years at the event, billed as Europe’s biggest celebration of contemporary Black music.
A$AP’s plus one, singer and new mum Rihanna, also made headlines when fans spotted her at the festival to support her boyfriend.

Jaden Smith

‘So you know, in five years when a kid goes to school wearing a skirt, he won’t get beat up and kids won’t get mad at him,’ Jaden said of his style choice. ‘It was lit because we all knew that we were going to impact the culture and change the game and make a difference.’
Jared Leto

Kurt Cobain
Cobain famously rocked a floral dress during his tour in 1990.
He reportedly said in 1992: ‘ I like to wear dresses because they’re comfortable. There’s nothing more comfortable than that cozy flower pattern.’
Kid Cudi

Kid Cudi then rocked a floral dress on Saturday Night Live last year in tribute to Cobain.
‘The image of seeing Kurt Cobain in a dress was very rock ‘n’ roll to me,’ he said. ‘That was cool.’
Rihanna and A$AP – real name Rakim Mayers – started a family together in May but have remained fiercely private over the newborn.
The new dad recently offered an insight into the things that he was hoping to pass onto his children, explaining that he hoped to raise an ‘open-minded’ family.
‘I will always remind my children to never lose their imagination, even as adults, no matter what,’ he told Dazed and Confused.
‘I hope to raise open-minded children. Not people who discriminate. And I’m not trying to describe a saint, but realistically, I just want a cool child with cool parents.
‘Things like diversity and versatility are important, and they’ll be embedded in the household.’
