Rihanna made a stunning return to the Cannes Film Festival, marking her first appearance at the event in eight years. The 37-year-old singer, who is pregnant with her third child, attended the festival to support her partner A$AP Rocky's film, "Highest 2 Lowest."

Rihanna's appearance at the festival was highly anticipated, and she did not disappoint. She wore a summer-ready blue dress that featured a high-cut, halter neckline that extended into a figure-hugging, floor-length silhouette. The top portion of the dress featured cutouts around her stomach, tied into knots and oversized ruffled knots on the side of her stomach. The bottom half of the dress featured elegant ruffles and was semi-sheer, allowing the outline of her legs to show through the fabric of the gown.

Rihanna completed her look with rings worn on both hands, diamond-encrusted stud earrings in the shape of a butterfly and leaf at her earlobe, and a matching ocean blue clutch held firmly in her hand.

Ahead of the premiere, Rihanna stopped for photos with fans, signing autographs before heading into the screening. Following the movie's debut, Rihanna was seen walking arm-in-arm with A$AP Rocky, who also held an umbrella over the pregnant singer, preventing her from getting wet as it rained over the red carpet while they and the rest of the "Highest 2 Lowest" cast and crew left the theater.

Rihanna's Previous Cannes Appearances

Rihanna's appearance at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival was her first time attending the event in eight years. She previously walked the red carpet at Cannes on May 19, 2017, for the premiere of "Okja."

For her 2017 look, Rihanna wowed in a Dior Haute Couture off-white silk taffeta coat and bustier dress. The bridal-inspired look was completed with edgier touches through the addition of angular sunglasses by Andy Wolf Eyewear and several black and emerald pieces from her collaborative jewelry collection with Chopard.

The pop star also had a second look at Cannes in 2017. For her appearance at the Chopard "Space" party that year, she wore another blue gown in a silk fabric. The custom Adam Selman dress featured a corset bustier that contained off-the-shoulder sleeves, attached shorts, and an ankle-length skirt with a leg-baring slit at the front.
