Rihanna and A$AP Rocky turned heads at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival on May 19th, making a late but memorable appearance at the Highest 2 Lowest world premiere. Despite the rain, the couple embraced the weather and posed together under an umbrella, marking a rare public appearance during the high-profile event.
Rihanna, who is currently expecting her third child with Rocky, wore a striking electric-blue dress featuring bold cutouts and a high-neck scarf detail. Rocky kept things cool and classic with a black suit, Ray-Ban sunglasses, and a full set of grillz. At one point, the rapper was seen gently cradling Rihanna’s baby bump. He rested his chin on her shoulder as cameras snapped away.
The couple’s appearance came just two weeks after Rihanna revealed her pregnancy at the Met Gala in New York City. There, Rocky shared how excited they were to finally let the news out. “It feels amazing, you know?” he told the Associated Press. “We were tired of holding that, and it was time to show the people what we was cooking up. I’m glad everybody’s happy for us, because we’re definitely happy.”
The film they were celebrating, Highest 2 Lowest, is a crime thriller helmed by Spike Lee and stars Denzel Washington alongside A$AP Rocky, who plays Washington’s son, Yung Felon. The project also marks the feature film debut of rapper Ice Spice.
This is Rihanna’s first appearance at Cannes since 2017. That year, she attended the screening of Okja wearing a white strapless gown and matching robe. Now, she returns not just as a music and fashion icon. She also comes as a growing mother of three, standing by her partner as he branches further into acting. The film is scheduled for U.S. release on August 22nd.
