After casually revealing their pregnancy earlier this month at the star-studded Met Gala, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky made a stylish return to the red carpet at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival on Monday evening. Undeterred by the rain, the duo attended the premiere of "Highest 2 Lowest," a gripping crime thriller helmed by directing legend Spike Lee. In the film, Rocky stars as Yung Felon, an aspiring rapper, alongside Hollywood icon Denzel Washington, who portrays a powerful music mogul.
Rocky opted for a timeless Saint Laurent suit accessorized with Ray Ban sunglasses, while Rihanna sported a dazzling, bright blue custom Alaïa gown featuring strategic cutouts that hugged her growing baby bump. Could the bold color be a homage to her role as Smurfette in the forthcoming Smurfs movie? Perhaps it's also a subtle nod to her recent, smash-hit single from the same film – the connection seems too apt to be coincidental. Beyond their Smurf adventures, the couple are already parents to 2-year-old RZA and 1-year-old Riot, and we've been informed that their third bundle of joy will also bear an 'R' in their moniker, a charming touch of consistency.
With Rocky's recent acquittal, their unforgettable Met Gala appearance, and now a film premiere in the picturesque south of France, it seems like the pair is enjoying a remarkable year. But what could possibly elevate their joy further? An update on Rihanna's highly anticipated ninth studio album, R9, would undoubtedly be the cherry on top.
