Rihanna stole the spotlight at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, dazzling in a bright turquoise gown that had fans calling her the real-life Smurfette. The fashion mogul, pop superstar, and soon-to-be mother of three brought cartoon couture to the red carpet, marking her debut in the upcoming Smurfs movie with a stunning blue homage.

The 37-year-old beauty mogul glowed in a custom Alaïa halter dress crafted in silk georgette by designer Pieter Mulier. The gown gently hugged her growing baby bump, a look she completed with a sky-blue clutch, diamond cuff earrings, and icy blue stilettos. Her updo and sparkling Boucheron jewels elevated the already ethereal ensemble, making her appearance one of the most talked-about at the festival.
Rihanna was joined by her longtime partner, A$AP Rocky, who looked sharp in a classic black Saint Laurent suit. Ever the gentleman, Rocky shielded Rihanna from the rain with an umbrella and helped her navigate the red carpet stairs with grace. The couple shared sweet moments of PDA, snuggling close and flashing smiles to photographers.
The Fenty Beauty founder confirmed her third pregnancy just weeks prior at the Met Gala, where she rocked a custom Marc Jacobs ensemble featuring a cropped jacket, wool bustier, and pinstripe skirt. Known for revolutionizing maternity fashion, Rihanna once declared in Vogue, “There’s no way I’m going to go shopping in no maternity aisle.”
Since her first pregnancy in 2022, Rihanna has made headlines for her bold, unconventional style choices. She’s consistently defied traditional expectations, opting for daring silhouettes, luxe fabrics, and fashion-forward fits.
“There’s nothing more fun than a challenge for me,” she told Bustle. “That’s where I get creative.”
The couple, who welcomed their first son RZA in May 2022 and second son Riot in August 2023, continue to be a style force and fan favorite. Rihanna’s Cannes appearance proved once again that pregnancy won’t slow her down or dim her shine.
Whether gracing the stage, screen, or red carpet, Rihanna’s blend of elegance, edge, and originality continues to raise the bar—and blue has never looked so good.
