Cannes 2025: All eyes on Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s red carpet PDA at ‘Highest 2 Lowest’ premiere

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky brought the glamour—and the love—to the 2025 Cannes Film Festival as they made a dazzling appearance on the red carpet Monday evening. The power couple were all smiles at the premiere of Highest 2 Lowest, the rapper's latest film directed by Spike Lee and co-starring screen legend Denzel Washington.

The superstar couple Rihanna and A$AP Rocky turned heads at the premiere of Highest 2 Lowest at Cannes 2025, with Rihanna's surprise appearance stealing the spotlight

Making a surprise entrance, Rihanna wowed in a flowing sky-blue gown that elegantly framed her baby bump. The singer and entrepreneur, who recently confirmed her third pregnancy at the 2025 Met Gala, cradled her bump as she posed for photographers outside the Palais des Festivals.

The couple’s chemistry was on full display. Rihanna took Rocky’s arm as they walked the red carpet, flashing her signature megawatt smile. In a tender moment that sent fans into a frenzy, Rocky leaned in to plant a soft kiss on her cheek—causing Rihanna to blush, a rare candid moment amidst the flashbulbs. This marks the latest public appearance for the duo, who already share two children—RZA, 3, and Riot, 20 months. Their growing family continues to capture the public imagination, with Rihanna effortlessly blending her roles as fashion icon, mother, and mogul.

Inside the theatre, the couple were seen applauding as Denzel Washington was honoured with a surprise lifetime achievement award. The screening of Highest 2 Lowest—a gritty new drama about redemption and power—was met with a standing ovation, but much of the buzz on social media remained fixed on Rihanna’s unexpected cameo at the festival.
