Live From the Gucci Show: Rihanna Sits Front Row, Gucci Unveils Adidas Collaboration
Gucci’s fall 2022 ready-to-wear show was packed with standout celebrity moments — including an appearance by Rihanna — and the reveal of its highly anticipated Adidas collaboration.
Rihanna made her way to the pink, mirror-filled room for Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele’s Exquisite Gucci show, leveraging the show’s venue for her outfit. The music and fashion icon wore a latex and lace cropped top that showed off her growing baby bump, paired with black trousers with a dragon motif, a purple fur jacket and a mirror-embellished chainmail headpiece. She also accessorized with a tanzanite and aquamarine estate cross necklace from Briony Raymond.

She posed for photos alongside boyfriend A$AP Rocky, who wore a black tracksuit paired with yellow gloves and a Gucci logo-bearing briefcase.
Other celebrities dressed in Gucci also made an appearance at the show, including “House of Gucci” star Jared Leto in a black-and-white checkered three-piece suit paired with an oversized velvet bow tie and black sunglasses; Serena Williams in a black formfitting dress and black feathered jacket; Daisy Edgar-Jones in a white satin suit with an oversized velvet burgundy tie, and Chiara Ferragni in a blush-colored satin suit paired with an oversized floral brooch.
While the celebrity attendees garnered a lot of buzz at the show, the collection itself made its own impact thanks to the reveal of Gucci’s collaboration with Adidas.
Models walked the runway in pieces that blended Gucci and Adidas’ design styles, with pieces such as hybrid tracksuit-formal suit designed with Adidas’ well-known stripe motif, as well as accessories like hats, gloves and headscarves.

The pieces merged Gucci and Adidas’ logos for the pieces, with Adidas’ trefoil logo reimagined with “Gucci” written underneath.
After the Gucci show finished, Adidas updated its social media accounts’ profile photos with the Adidas x Gucci logo. Read the full review of Gucci’s fall 2022 ready-to-wear show here.
