Rihanna and A$AP Rocky made a grand, albeit slightly damp, entrance at the prestigious 2025 Cannes Film Festival on May 19th, attending the world premiere of "Highest 2 Lowest." Proving that not even a little rain can dim their shine, the iconic duo embraced the weather, sharing sweet moments under an umbrella in a rare and much-anticipated public appearance.
Rihanna, radiating that unmistakable pregnancy glow as she awaits her third child with Rocky, turned heads in a striking electric-blue dress. The bold cutouts and chic high-neck scarf detail perfectly showcased her evolving maternity style – a true testament to her fearless fashion sense. Meanwhile, A$AP Rocky kept his cool in a classic black suit, complete with signature Ray-Ban sunglasses and a dazzling set of grillz. The rapper couldn't keep his hands (or gaze) off his leading lady, tenderly cradling Rihanna’s baby bump and resting his chin affectionately on her shoulder as the cameras flashed. Talk about picture-perfect!
Their appearance in Cannes comes just a couple of weeks after Rihanna's show-stopping pregnancy reveal at the Met Gala in New York City. Back in the Big Apple, Rocky couldn't contain his excitement about finally sharing their happy news. "It feels amazing, you know?" he told the Associated Press. "We were tired of holding that, and it was time to show the people what we was cooking up. I’m glad everybody’s happy for us, because we’re definitely happy." And judging by their radiant smiles in Cannes, that happiness is still shining bright!
But this glamorous outing wasn't just a date night; it was a proud moment of support. The film they were celebrating, "Highest 2 Lowest," is a crime thriller helmed by the legendary Spike Lee. Adding to the excitement, A$AP Rocky isn't just on Rihanna's arm; he's also starring in the movie alongside none other than Denzel Washington, playing Washington’s son, Yung Felon. This marks a significant step in Rocky's burgeoning acting career, and Rihanna was clearly there to cheer him on. Keep an eye out too, as "Highest 2 Lowest" also marks the feature film debut of rising rap sensation Ice Spice! This movie is shaping up to be a must-see, with its US release slated for August 22nd.

For Rihanna, this Cannes appearance marks a stylish return to the festival after her last visit in 2017. Back then, she graced the screening of "Okja" in a stunning white strapless gown and matching robe. Now, she returns not just as the music and fashion icon we all know and love, but also as a glowing mother of (soon-to-be) three, standing steadfastly by her partner as he explores new creative avenues in the world of film. It's a beautiful evolution to witness!
The drizzly weather couldn't dampen the spirits of Rih and Rocky, who seemed completely unfazed, turning a potentially soggy red carpet into a display of pure romance and effortless cool. Their connection was palpable, and Rihanna's electric-blue ensemble provided a vibrant pop of color against the grey skies, ensuring all eyes remained firmly fixed on this captivating couple.
This Cannes moment feels like a beautiful blend of their personal and professional lives colliding on a global stage. Rihanna, ever the supportive partner, is celebrating A$AP Rocky's foray into a major film project, all while radiating joy about their growing family. It's a reminder that even amidst the high glamour of the Cannes Film Festival, at the heart of it all are real people sharing real moments.
