Rocky’s current era places him at the center of fashion and creative direction.

This year brought major recognition, including the CFDA Style Icon Award, a role as Met Gala co-chair, and inclusion on The New York Times list of most stylish figures. His appointment as a Chanel brand ambassador and Ray-Ban’s first-ever Creative Director further solidified that position. With AWGE presenting its Menswear Spring Summer 2026 show, Rocky continues to build a space where he blends his creative work seamlessly.

The year also extended into film with a role alongside Denzel Washington in Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest. With DON’T BE DUMB confirmed for release on January 16, this moment reads as one where fashion leads the narrative, setting the stage for music to follow.
