Rihanna lit up the blue carpet at The Smurfs premiere in Los Angeles on July 13, transforming the event into a touching family moment that fans couldn’t stop talking about. Dressed in an elegant chocolate-brown satin gown that gracefully highlighted her growing baby bump, the pop icon walked hand-in-hand with her two sons, RZA and Riot Rose, stealing the spotlight not just with her fashion, but with the warmth of the scene itself. With her third child on the way, the appearance marked a rare and intimate public outing for the family—one that blended glamor with genuine tenderness.
The singer’s maternity look was effortlessly chic. The gown’s lace-trimmed bodice and voluminous skirt added a regal touch, while the black leather bomber jacket gave it a subtle edge—classic Rihanna. Her hair was swept into a soft bun, her accessories were minimal, and her signature sunglasses added the finishing flair. RZA, 3, and nearly two-year-old Riot Rose followed their mom’s lead in miniature formalwear. The boys wore adorable blazers and oversized slacks, echoing Rihanna’s polished aesthetic. The crowd especially adored the brothers’ sweet interaction with Papa Smurf, a moment that melted hearts and quickly made rounds online.
During her red carpet chat with Extra, Rihanna seemed genuinely thrilled. “Tonight is going to be fun,” she said. “We get to watch the movie together for the first time. I get to watch it in its full completion. So, that should be interesting.” Asked about her sons’ excitement over a new sibling, she smiled and said they were “delighted,” before playfully teasing the press when asked if she was having a girl: “You’ll have to wait and see,” she said with a grin, adding, “I’ve always wanted a girl.” As for baby names, Rihanna hinted that sticking with the “R” tradition is a must, saying, “Of course. It’s tradition at this point.”
The joyful appearance came just days after a deeply personal event—her father Ronald Fenty’s funeral in Barbados on July 9. Ronald passed away at 70 following a battle with pancreatic cancer. Despite the complex history between them, Rihanna remained by his side until the end and was supported at the memorial by ASAP Rocky and their children. Her strength and grace in balancing personal grief with public joy only added depth to what the premiere symbolized for her family.
With The Smurfs movie set for a July 18 release, Rihanna not only lends her voice to Smurfette but also contributes to the soundtrack. The premiere marked a full-circle moment for the star: celebrating life, motherhood, and new creative milestones—all in one beautiful, blue-hued evening.
