Rihanna‘s daughter Rocki Irish just turned one, and the internet can’t get enough of the birthday girl, who may be well on her way to becoming a fashion icon. Over the weekend, Rihanna shared a rare glimpse into her youngest child’s life, posting new photos and videos to Instagram from Rocki’s first birthday celebration. Playful videos of Rocki in a wig, tiny moon boots, and the toddler absolutely claiming a Louis Vuitton Speedy bag as her own gave fans a peek at her personality and what looks like an early affinity for fashion.
Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky have been notably protective of their children’s privacy over the years, so this carousel of 19 moments was a treat. Rocki’s birthday fell on September 13, and on Sunday, September 27, Rihanna gave followers an intimate look at the celebration. The couple shares three kids: RZA, four, Riot, three, and baby Rocki.
The birthday post opens with a video of Rocki making her mom laugh while wearing a long black wig, though she lost interest pretty quickly. Another shot captures her in the same wig paired with pink curlers, fully committed to the aesthetic.
People were quick to catch Rocki’s obvious attachment to luxury goods in another video. When she got her hands on her mom’s Louis Vuitton Speedy bag and then cried as Rihanna took it back, it became clear: that bag belongs to Rocki now.
But the birthday post wasn’t all designer moments. The carousel also featured everyday scenes: Rocki napping, dressed up for pool time in a baby bikini, and trying scrambled eggs for the first time. There’s a particularly sweet video of her in a bonnet, looking directly at the camera and saying “hey” with cheeks that could genuinely melt anyone’s heart.
Rihanna captioned the post with “who let me have a daughter, bro?” and A$AP Rocky commented enthusiastically in his own style: “MY FATTY BUMS❤️.” The post captures a rare, unfiltered moment from two parents who’ve been deliberate about shielding their kids from the spotlight.
Rocki’s already had her share of magazine moments this year. She appeared on the cover of W Magazine’s April pop issue alongside Rihanna, and then on the cover of W Magazine China in September with A$AP Rocky. For a one-year-old, that’s pretty impressive resume material.
Based on these birthday clips and photos, it’s safe to say Rocki’s already picking up on her family’s approach to style. Whether it’s the wig, the curlers, or that Louis Vuitton moment, the one-year-old seems to understand that fashion is part of the family language.
