Pregnant Rihanna Stuns at Smurfs Premiere Alongside Toddler Sons
Consider this your VIP pass into Rihanna’s latest headline-making family moment. On July 13 in Los Angeles, the singer-turned-film-star arrived at the Smurfs premiere glowing in her baby bump spotlight, flanked by her two toddlers, RZA and Riot. Rihanna, expecting her third child with partner A$AP Rocky, embraced the cinematic celebration by lending her voice to Smurfette in Sony Pictures Animation’s new release. The night was a stylish fusion of Hollywood glamour and playful family fun, earning the “Take a Bow” artist more than just a round of applause.
Rihanna’s red carpet ensemble was a masterclass in maternity chic. She chose a dramatic black ball gown cinched beneath her bump with a vibrant green sash and layered it with a sleek black leather jacket. The contrast between the soft tulle and structured outerwear accentuated her confident aesthetic. By stepping out in maternity couture that married high fashion with comfort, Rihanna reaffirmed her status as a trendsetter even while expecting. Photographers captured her radiant smile as she paused for snapshots with eager fans and fellow celebrities.
The real stars of the evening, however, were her sons, 3-year-old RZA and 23-month-old Riot. Both boys made their red carpet debut in miniature formal wear that mirrored their mother’s bold style. Riot looked dapper in a crisp white dress shirt paired with loose-fit white shorts, a matching bow tie, tweed jacket and a top knot bun that framed his curious expression. His older brother RZA opted for a white button-down with a skinny red tie and green cargo pants, showing off early signs of sartorial flair. Witnesses noted that the brothers seemed to beam with pride as they supported their mom’s foray into voice acting.
Meeting animated royalty added another layer of delight to the evening. The boys shared playful exchanges with Clumsy Smurf, Papa Smurf and, of course, Smurfette. RZA watched in awe as Riot shook hands with Papa Smurf on the blue carpet, a moment captured in photos that quickly spread across social media. Seeing the toddlers interact with characters they adore in their pajamas at home highlighted the special bond between Rihanna’s family life and her professional ventures.
This outing follows a pattern of red carpet appearances for Rihanna’s young sons. In June, Riot joined her at Milan Fashion Week to cheer on A$AP Rocky’s AWGE Menswear Spring/Summer 2026 runway show, sporting purple cargo pants and a vintage Harley-Davidson jacket. Behind the scenes, Rihanna has hinted at expanding her Fenty empire to include children’s apparel. When Vogue asked about a baby clothes line in 2022, she smiled and said, “Anything in miniature is just so cute.” Fans are now speculating whether these effortlessly chic appearances double as market research for Fenty’s next chapter.
From Barbados vacations to birthday celebrations, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky continue to share glimpses of their growing family on Instagram. These public moments have been praised for their blend of authenticity and style. As Rihanna balances parenting and her multifaceted career, her latest premiere appearance proves that fashion, family and film can come together in perfect harmony. And that’s one Smurftastic soirée wrapped up like a perfectly tied sash. What’s next for this power family on the red carpet Can’t wait to find out.
