When Rihanna steps onto a red carpet, the world takes notice. But when she arrives with her growing baby bump and her two adorable sons, RZA and Riot, the moment transcends mere fashion and becomes an instant cultural phenomenon. On July 13, at the Los Angeles premiere of The Smurfs Movie, this iconic family unit effortlessly lit up social media, offering a masterclass in high-fashion family coordination and reminding everyone that RiRi truly remains that girl – perpetually in both "mommy" and "icon" mode.
The "Umbrella" singer, who lends her voice to Smurfette in the animated reboot, exuded the aura of a couture fairy godmother. She graced the blue carpet in a breathtaking custom brown satin YSL gown from Saint Laurent’s Autumn/Winter 2025 collection. The showstopping piece featured a dramatic, voluminous ballgown skirt, cinched elegantly at the waist with an olive ribbon. Adding a sultry edge to the opulent ensemble, a delicate lace bustier top subtly peeked out from beneath the dramatic layers, blending classic glamour with Rihanna’s signature audacious style. To complete her look, the "Bad Gal" casually layered the gown with a relaxed, oversized leather bomber jacket and styled her hair in a high, effortlessly chic top bun, solidifying her reign as a fearless innovator of maternity fashion.

However, despite Rihanna's undeniable sartorial brilliance, the true scene-stealers of the afternoon were undoubtedly her young sons, RZA and Riot. The tiny style icons made their official joint red carpet debut, dressed impeccably in custom Dior by Jonathan Anderson. Their outfits were hot off the heels of Anderson's critically acclaimed debut runway for the esteemed fashion house, transforming the toddlers into miniature runway stars.
RZA, the older sibling, sported a sophisticated yet playful green blazer with sharp tuxedo lapels, paired unexpectedly with crisp white shorts and classic loafers. Not to be outdone, his younger brother, Riot, brought undeniable toddler swag to the carpet, rocking stylish cargo pants, a charming pink tie, and showcasing his natural curls with delightful volume. Their coordinated, high-fashion ensembles solidified their status as burgeoning style muses, proving that impeccable taste runs deep in the family. This isn't the first time the fam has delivered a show-stopping fashion moment; just weeks prior, Rihanna and Riot turned Paris Fashion Week into their personal runway while supporting A$AP Rocky’s latest collection.
