Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Shine at the Smurfs Premiere
On June 28, 2025, the vibrant city of Brussels played host to the world premiere of the much-anticipated Smurfs film, where superstar couple Rihanna and A$AP Rocky made a stunning appearance. The event was not just a celebration of the beloved animated franchise but also a moment for Rihanna to showcase her growing baby bump in a breathtaking custom Chanel ensemble.
A Dazzling Red Carpet Look
Rihanna, the nine-time Grammy winner, turned heads in a flowy, sheer Chanel outfit that elegantly highlighted her pregnancy. The ensemble featured a celadon green silk chiffon top and skirt, intricately designed with sequins, crystals, and feathers. According to Chanel, the creation took an impressive 840 hours to complete and drew inspiration from the brand’s haute couture spring 2003 collection. The look was further enhanced with a tone-on-tone organza and feather camellia, along with jeweled buttons, making it a true work of art.
A Family Affair
Accompanying Rihanna was her partner, A$AP Rocky, who complemented her look with a stylish striped button-up shirt, a matching tie, and relaxed black trousers. The couple, who are already parents to sons RZA, 3, and Riot, 1, recently announced they are expecting their third child, a revelation made during the 2025 Met Gala in May. Their appearance at the premiere was a joyful celebration of both their family and Rihanna’s latest artistic venture.
Fashion Week and Film Festivals
The premiere came just a day after the couple attended Paris Fashion Week, where they were spotted at the Dior Homme Menswear Spring/Summer 2026 show. Their fashion choices have been a topic of conversation, with Rihanna donning a seafoam green button-down vest paired with a white shirt and duster jacket, while Rocky opted for a sky blue shirt with cargo pockets. Their stylish outings have kept them in the spotlight, especially following their appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, where they walked the red carpet for Rocky’s film Highest 2 Lowest.
Rihanna as Smurfette
In Smurfs, Rihanna takes on the role of Smurfette, leading the beloved characters on a mission to rescue Papa Smurf in the "real world." The film promises to be an exciting adventure, with a synopsis hinting at themes of destiny and friendship. Alongside Rihanna, the film features a star-studded cast, including James Corden, Nick Offerman, Daniel Levy, and Sandra Oh, among others. Fans can also look forward to new music from Rihanna, including her recently released track "Friend of Mine," which is part of the film’s soundtrack.
Anticipation for the Film’s Release
As the premiere concluded, excitement grew for the film’s official release, set for July 18, 2025. With Rihanna’s star power and the nostalgic charm of the Smurfs, the film is poised to capture the hearts of audiences worldwide. The combination of family, fashion, and film makes this event a memorable highlight in the entertainment calendar, showcasing the couple’s dynamic presence both on and off the red carpet.
