Something about A$AP Rocky's outfit in the clip for "F---in' Problems" is reminiscent of the lead character Neo from the uber-popular 1999 film, 'The Matrix.' The black overcoat, fitted slacks and boots proves Rocky clearly has a thing for clothes that reflect a certain level of drama and theatrics, even when rapping about the mundane trappings of living the rap life -- pretty girls, fly

Pulling from the style of the 1980s seems to be A$AP Rocky's go-to guide when dressing. In February, the 'F---in' Problems' emcee popped up at NY Fashion Week in all-black everything, from the three-quarter length shearling coat to the skinny jeans and black Timberland boots...

While on tour with Rihanna earlier this year, A$AP Rocky revisited one of his past looks on stage at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The rapper pulled his white stockings out for their first major appearance since the 'Wild for the Night' video in 2012...

In the video for 'Peso,' A$AP Rocky had only scratched the surface in revealing his fashion inclinations. In the rooftop scene, fans catch a glimpse of what was to come as the young emcee sported his omnipresent snapback along with a white tank, baggy pants, bandana around his neck and super high high-top sneakers on his feet...

Eight years ago, there was a cutie pie Bajan singer named Rihanna who made her way onto the Billboard charts with her debut single, 'Pon' the Replay.' The song was poppy enough and she was pretty enough but RiRi wouldn't have seen the level of success that she has if she -- and her team -- didn't go through a complete, yet gradual overhaul of her style past the second album...

In 2012, Rihanna dropped in on Roc Nation's pre-Grammy brunch sporting a classy look -- a tweed pantsuit with detailed piping on the front and wide leg pants, all in tan. She was understated but far from boring, especially when paired with the minimal makeup worn -- RiRi was fresh-faced with a dark berry hue on her lips...

Who would've thought Rihanna would become known for pushing the envelope? Always sexy, even if it isn't overtly in-your-face, the 'Loud' creator wears what works for her and perhaps that lends to the appeal. In 2011, the Barbados native donned all-white at the Billboard Music Awards...

In 2008, Rihanna was riding the fence between what she used to be and what she was becoming -- style wise. At the 50th Annual Grammy Awards, she sported a cobalt blue party dress but shape and impeccable fit made it fashion forward. Pair that with the fact that the songstress had cut off her asymmetrical bob and was now rocking a pixie cut with choppy layers and Rihanna was slowly moving into her

After the success of 'Good Girl Gone Bad,' Rihanna must have walked into Def Jam's offices and demanded independence over her image because it wasn't long before she became a straight-up trendsetter. The Bajan beauty was always in a new look from that point forward...

In 2012, Rihanna returned to her roots -- well, what her roots were in 2007 anyway. The 'Loveee Song' creator dyed her hair black and had it chopped into a sharp pixie cut, revisiting that look. On the carpet for the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards, she rocked a floor-length, body-conscious gown with the back cut out and a detailed tie in front...
