On the evening of Monday, Ms. Robyn Rihanna Fenty (“Rihanna”), who is presently pregnant, made a public appearance at the Cannes Film Festival in support of her partner, Mr. Rakim Mayers (“A$AP Rocky”), attending the premiere of his latest motion picture, Highest 2 Lowest.
The parties, aged 37 and 36 respectively, had previously disclosed at the 2025 Met Gala held earlier this month that they are expecting their third child together.
Rihanna, who is already the mother of two sons—RZA, aged two, and Riot, aged 21 months—with Mr. Mayers, appeared to be in good health and high spirits. Consistent with her established pattern of fashionably late arrivals, she joined the red carpet proceedings after their scheduled commencement.
On the evening of Monday, Ms. Robyn Rihanna Fenty (“Rihanna”), currently expecting her third child, attended the Cannes Film Festival to support her partner, Mr. Rakim Mayers (“A$AP Rocky”), during the official premiere of his new film, Highest 2 Lowest. Ms. Fenty appeared in good health and high spirits, donning a ruffled blue gown and strappy heels. At various moments on the red carpet, Mr. Mayers was observed affectionately placing his arms around her.
Despite inclement weather conditions—specifically, a period of heavy rain—the couple proceeded along the red carpet. Mr. Mayers was attired in a tailored black suit and dark sunglasses, reflecting his signature fashion sensibility.
The film, Highest 2 Lowest, directed by Academy Award winner Mr. Shelton Jackson “Spike” Lee, centers on a music industry magnate confronted with a life-or-death moral quandary following his entanglement in a ransom plot. The motion picture features a high-profile ensemble cast including Mr. Denzel Washington, Ms. Ilfenesh Hadera, Mr. Jeffrey Wright, Ms. Isis Gaston (professionally known as Ice Spice, marking her cinematic debut), and Mr. Mayers himself.
Earlier in the evening, Ms. Dakota Johnson, 35, led the procession of high-profile attendees on the iconic red carpet, appearing in a strapless, pink, tassel-adorned gown and accessorizing with statement earrings. Her hair was styled in a sleek, straight fashion.
Ms. Johnson was accompanied by her Splitsville co-star, Ms. Adria Arjona, 33, who appeared in a light green satin gown and a Tiffany & Co. silver necklace. Ms. Arjona was later joined by her partner, Mr. Jason Momoa, 45, who appeared in a white tailored suit; the couple presented as affectionate and closely connected.
Also in attendance was model Ms. Stella Maxwell, who drew attention in a plunging black sequined gown, as well as Ms. Jameela Jamil, who made a bold fashion statement in a light green sequined gown with an accompanying ruffled shawl.
This year’s Cannes Film Festival is being held amidst heightened geopolitical discourse, following former U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s recent pledge to impose tariffs on foreign-produced films.#newsafro_
