Rihanna and A$AP Rocky‘s daughter Rocki is shining bright on her big day.
The “Diamonds” singer shared rare photos of her and the “Sundress” hitmaker’s little girl in honor of the toddler’s first birthday—and it’s safe to say she’s her mother’s daughter.
In the first clip shared to Rihanna’s Instagram Sept. 26, it seems Rocki got her name from being able to rock any look. After all, the toddler was filmed in her highchair as she sported one of her mom’s wigs.
As Rihanna said in the clip through laughs, “Wow, baby.”
Another adorable snap sealed the deal that the 12-month-old is following in her mom’s beauty-loving footsteps as she was seen wearing pink hair curlers. Meanwhile, separate footage showed a glammed up Rocki playing with a product from her mom’s Fenty beauty line.
Plus, the tot showed off her passion for fashion as she played with her mom’s Louis Vuitton bag in separate video. And after the Grammy winner took the bag from her daughter—who was dressed in a tan onesie—she had four five seconds to hand the goods back over as Rocki began to cry, only to be soothed after the designer duds were back in her possession.

Other adorable moments in the carousel included a video of a newborn Rocki cuddling up to her mom, a clip of Rihanna trying to get her baby girl to say “mama,” and a snap of the toddler lounging in a bikini.
And the “Umbrella” singer knows her youngest child is a whole vibe. As she captioned the post, “Who let me have a daughter, bro?”
Recently, Rihanna—also mom to sons RZA, 4, and Riot, 3, with A$AP Rocky—shared another set of rare family photos, this time in her native Barbados.
“One minute I feel like that kid from Westbury,” the 38-year-old captioned the photo featuring her three little ones posing in front of her childhood home, shared to Instagram Aug. 11. “The next minute I’m bringing my own kids back to ‘Rihanna Drive.'”
The cultural landmark, established in 2017, allows fans to visit the colorful building that Rihanna (born Robyn Rihanna Fenty) grew up in within the suburbs of Bridgetown.
“Trippy how life works!” the Anti artist continued. “And the Glory STILL and WILL ALWAYS belong to the Almighty Creator!!!”
Since welcoming her three kids, Rihanna has been candid about how motherhood has changed her.
“I’m actually afraid of s–t,” she told Interview Magazinein 2024. “The well-being of your kids, you worry about that constantly. Nobody warns you that having kids means you’re going to worry every second of your life.”
But it’s all worth it if it means being RZA, Riot and Rocki’s mom.
“They bring purpose to every aspect of my life,” she told E! News that same year. “Everything has to be intentional, and everything has to be worth it—especially when it takes me away from them.”
