It’s raining, and Rihanna and A$AP Rocky just turned a damp Cannes Film Festival red carpet into pure magic! Less than two weeks after revealing baby number three is on the way, the power couple stepped out together, sharing an umbrella and stealing the show with their undeniable chemistry and show-stopping style.
The dynamic duo arrived arm-in-arm at the “Highest 2 Lowest” world premiere on Monday evening, May 19th. The event was for A$AP Rocky’s new film, and despite the soggy red carpet, they made it an unforgettable moment. Rihanna, glowing, was a vision in a gorgeous custom Alaïa cyan-colored gown. The dress featured a high neck, elegant tie detailing, and strategic cutouts that beautifully showcased her growing baby bump. To complete her effortlessly chic look, the 37-year-old superstar rocked matching stiletto heels and a perfectly messy updo.
Meanwhile, A$AP Rocky (real name Rakim Mayers) kept it calm and collected in a sleek Saint Laurent oversized black suit paired with a striped tie and patent leather dress shoes. The 36-year-old rapper accessorized with diamond tear-drop earrings and his signature black Ray-Bans and grillz, proving he can make even a classic suit look edgy.
In one particularly adorable moment that melted hearts, the “HIGHJACK” emcee tenderly cradled Rih Rih’s belly, resting his chin gently on her shoulder. Seriously, could they be any cuter? They were all smiles for the occasion, even posing for photos with the legendary Spike Lee, who directed “Highest 2 Lowest,” and his wife, Tonya Lewis Lee. Taking the rainy weather in stride, A$AP was the perfect gentleman, holding an umbrella over him and Rihanna as they gracefully descended the theater’s steps.
This premiere marks a big milestone for Rocky, as he stars in the Spike Lee-directed crime thriller alongside none other than Denzel Washington, playing Washington’s son, Yung Felon. The film, which also features Ice Spice in her feature film debut, is set to hit U.S. theaters on August 22nd.
For Rih, this also marked her first red carpet appearance at Cannes since 2017, when she turned heads at the “Okja” screening in a stunning white strapless gown. This latest Cannes moment follows another buzzy appearance just earlier this month at the Met Gala, where her bump reveal officially confirmed the exciting news of baby number three.
From the Met Gala in New York to the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are truly shining bright as they prepare to welcome their newest addition. They continue to captivate audiences worldwide, proving that love, style, and exciting new chapters can always make headlines, even when it’s raining!
