Rihanna Cuts a Sculptural Silhouette in Sky Blue Alaïa Gown Draping Her Baby Bump at Cannes
The rain may have clouded the skies over Cannes, but Rihanna arrived in a shade that suggested otherwise. Stepping onto the red carpet at the 'Highest 2 Lowest' premiere Monday night, the singer and entrepreneur wore a sky blue gown by Alaïa while walking beneath an umbrella held by A$AP Rocky, who stars in the Spike Lee-directed film.
Her halter-style dress featured a twisted scarf neckline that draped across the chest and shoulders, while side cutouts — knotted on her left side — revealed her baby bump. She is expecting her third child with Rocky.

Rihanna completed the look with sky blue strappy stiletto heels featuring an ankle strap, along with a matching structured clutch. Her accessories included high and fine jewelry by Boucheron, including diamond-encrusted earrings in butterfly and leaf motifs and multiple rings worn across both hands. Her hair was styled in a voluminous updo with a deep side bang, while her glam featured subtly smoky eyes and a nude lip lined in a darker shade.
Rihanna has a penchant for surprising pregnancy reveals. On the first Monday in May, she caught fans off guard at the Met Gala when she debuted her baby bump in a custom Marc Jacobs ensemble. The look combined various patterns and textures, putting a twist on menswear with a cropped jacket and a pinstriped skirt that trailed the floor. She completed the outfit with custom color-blocked black and white brogue heels by Amina Muaddi.
During the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show, viewers speculated whether she was revealing her second pregnancy while performing in a jumpsuit and puffer coat. Afterward, Rihanna confirmed the news, sharing that she had only discovered her pregnancy shortly before the performance. 'Here's the thing. I did what I had to do, right? My jumper couldn't zip up,' the Fenty Beauty founder told Access Hollywood at the time. 'No one knew I was pregnant. I just told my stylist, 'Make sure it's stretchy.' So the undergarment was stretchy and this [jacket] was baggy, but you know, the zip. It just stopped right there! So it had to be what it had to be.'
'Highest 2 Lowest,' directed by Spike Lee, is a modern reimagining of Akira Kurosawa's 1963 film 'High and Low.' Set in contemporary New York, the film stars Denzel Washington as a music executive entangled in a kidnapping case. Rocky appears as Yung Felon, an aspiring rapper connected to the central plot.

Who are the top 10 most dominant stars to make the cover of Madden all-time?
Every summer, the Madden cover athlete is revealed and generates an incredible amount of hype. Who will it be? That buzz lasts for most of the summer until the game comes out, and then soon after, actual football is upon us, with the NFL's regular season usually starting very soon after the release of the game. This year, Saquon Barkley was named to the cover— reigning Super Bowl champion and the newest member of the 2,000-yard single-season rushing club. Being picked for the Madden cover is a huge accomplishment. Only the best players make it there, and sometimes, an all-time great player is picked for the cover – think Barry Sanders in 2014. The game's release dates back to the late 1980s and has picked up steam every year since. That is a lot of star power for the game's cover. So, who are the best cover athletes to be picked? With that question in mind, FOX Sports Research compiled a list of the top 10 Madden cover athletes as we head into the 2026 version of the game. Top 10 Madden cover athletes of all-time 10. John Madden (1988-2000, 2023) The only coach on this list and fitting that it's the coach the game is named after. Madden was an elite coach, but also delivered in the broadcast booth and his games helped integrate everyone from young children to older adults into the world of football. He is the person who has been on the cover of the game the most (and rightly so), but his coaching acumen was a big reason why it made sense. The Hall of Famer claimed 10 or more wins in five of his last seven seasons on the sidelines, while also winning his lone Super Bowl with the Raiders in 1976. 9. Brett Favre (2009) The true definition of a gunslinger, Favre was a prolific passer for a staggering 20 seasons in the league (19 as a starter). He won three consecutive league MVP awards from 1995 to 1997 — he's still the only player in league history to win three straight. From a statistical standpoint, he ranks fourth all time in passing yards (71,838) and fourth in passing touchdowns (508), and he's tied for the second-most wins (186). For the postseason, he cracks the top five in passing yards and touchdowns, while being one of only eight quarterbacks ever with 13 wins. He led the Packers to a Super Bowl title in the 1996 season 8. Ray Lewis (2005) A banner year for Lewis, the hard-hitting linebacker claimed his second, and what would prove to be his last, Defensive Player of the Year award in 2003. It was also well deserved, with the thumped collecting six interceptions that year, more than he had in the previous two seasons combined, and racking up 163 tackles, the most he had in four seasons. For his troubles, he also earned MVP votes, finishing sixth in the voting. 7. Troy Polamalu and Larry Fitzgerald (2010) Multiple cover athletes! Two legends graced the cover for the 2010 version of the game. This choice, of course, came off the incredible Super Bowl where the Steelers squeaked past the surging Cardinals to claim another Lombardi Trophy. Still, they chose two all-timers for this one. Fitzgerald posted 1,431 receiving yards off his 96 receptions, and led the league with 12 receiving touchdowns. On the other side of the ball, Polamalu had seven interceptions, 17 passes defended and 73 tackles to his credit. It was a bold choice, but befitting the performance for both in Super Bowl XLIII. 6. Marshall Faulk (2003) Faulk earned his place on the cover from his do-it-all abilities and for helping lead one of the best offenses the game has ever seen. His 2001 season, which earned him the cover spot, was his fourth consecutive over 1,300 rushing yards, and it was his third straight year he led the NFL in yards per attempt. Moreover, it was also the third straight season he finished in the top two in MVP voting. He won the honor in 2000, but was runner-up in both 1999 and 2001. In 2001, though, he would settle for Offensive Player of the Year and a selection to the AP All-Pro First-Team 5. Rob Gronkowski (2017) Perhaps the best tight end ever to grace the gridiron, Gronk had the second-most receiving yards in a single season in his career prior to being named the Madden cover star. The burly receiver snagged 72 catches to pair with 1,176 receiving yards, in addition to being an absolute force blocking in the run game. That led him to be named to the Pro Bowl and First-Team All-Pro, solidifying his standing as a top TE in the game. 4. Calvin Johnson (2013) Johnson's best year actually came the year his game released, with 2012 marking the season he set the single-season receiving yard mark. Despite that, his 2011 was still incredible no matter how you slice it. His 1,681 receiving yards were the most in the league, averaging 105.1 per game. He was also able to find the end zone an average of one time per game, finishing with 16 touchdowns on the year. He would earn a Pro Bowl and First-Team All-Pro for his troubles. 3. Drew Brees (2011) Brees' career was statistically undeniable. He and Tom Brady are the only two quarterbacks to throw for 80,000 career yards, Brees' 571 touchdown passes are the second-most all-time, and his 172 wins rank fourth. Brees made a whopping 13 Pro Bowls and led the league in passing yards seven times in his 20-year career. In the 2009 season, he led the Saints to their only Super Bowl title — against Peyton Manning's Colts — and was MVP of the game. Brees twice won Offensive Player of the Year. 2. Barry Sanders (2014) An NFL legend makes his way onto the Madden cover. Barry Sanders was, and maybe still is, the most elusive back to ever suit up in the NFL. The Lions legend is remembered by everyone and for good reason. He led the NFL in rushing yards four separate times, averaged over 100 yards per game in four different seasons and finished his career averaging 99.8 yards per game. One of the most fascinating cases as well is how he left the game. Sanders collected the MVP award in his second to last season in the league and powered his way to 1,491 rushing yards in his final season for Detroit. 1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady and Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (2022) It was always going to be the 2022 game, which could, when all is said and done, feature the two greatest QBs of all-time. Moreover, they also met in the Super Bowl for the 2020 season, with the game taking place in 2021. That, of course, was when Tom Brady and the Bucs dismantled Mahomes and the Chiefs 31-9, giving Brady yet another ring for his historic career. Both QBs had their greatness on full display for 2020 though, with Brady tossing 40 TDs and accumulating 4,633 pass yards while Mahomes added 4,740 pass yards and 38 TDs.

Rihanna-Approved London Designer Supriya Lele on Her Collaboration With Mango
Worn by Rihanna, seen on the cover–and in the pages–of British Vogue (Yasmin Finney wore an azure minidress for the December 2022 issue), Supriya Lele's trajectory has reached far beyond her London studio. And after a hiatus from the London Fashion Week schedule, the British-Indian designer now has hit another milestone: a collaboration with Mango, launching 5 June. 'Hopefully this will be the beginning of a slow reintegration in whatever way feels right,' Lele tells Vogue of working with the Spanish retailer as the first partner of the Mango Collective, a platform 'dedicated to celebrating the creativity and innovation of niche designers.' The union will introduce a new customer to the Supriya universe and, in turn, project her namesake brand to a global audience–a worthy opportunity in this testing fashion landscape. Amounting pressure on Supriya and her London cohort has presented an array of impossibilities in recent years: 'It's so sad that we're in a position where everybody is having to skip out, step back,' she says of her London Fashion Week pause. It's no small feat to be an independent brand right now. 'I love making collections–that's why I love what I do,' she explains of returning to the process of building an idea into a full look. And the Mango collab followed the same tried-and-tested method she uses each season: starting with research and conjuring a direction, then fittings with a model and her stylist, Jane How. 'We have the same brain,' she says of How, who first loaned looks when Supriya was showing with the capital's renowned incubator, Fashion East. Amidst core archive silhouettes revived from previous seasons–including body-flossed waist cut-outs, swaddling silhouettes and sheer, conceal-reveal fabrications–Supriya was able to bring her longtime visions for shoes, bags and jewellery to life. She was in constant dialogue with Jane and her friends about what people would want to wear. 'I like every single piece. There's not a piece in there I don't like or that I wouldn't wear. I'd wear every single one,' she asserts. From London, they went to the Mango HQ in Barcelona, where they worked closely with the design team and created a commercial collection, while retaining Supriya's unique 'identity and aesthetic.' 'Everything that I've done has always been about the visual language and the way that it's presented–and that's so important to me,' she explains of the 'sensitivity' that the team had towards the finer details, such as swing tags and the size of the font inside the shoes. Despite the refined attention to detail, the overall journey was straightforward and decisions were made fast– something that Supriya credits to her adaptability as a brand founder. 'You're a manager, you're HR… I'm like, 'can I do my accounts on the bus?'' she laughs. 'Then there's a fancy dinner and I'm wondering… 'what am I going to wear?''. London-based designer, Supriya Lele. Courtesy of Mango Spain also provided the backdrop for the accompanying campaign. Supriya tapped Johnny Dufort (who just shot Billie Eilish for British Vogue's May 2025 cover) to capture the looks in both the studio and outdoors with a nighttime skyline in the background. (This is where the collection's title, 'A Summer Reverie' comes in.) 'It's so fresh and visually arresting,' she says.

Hunter Renfrow Signs with Panthers—and This Bizarre NFL Pattern Points to a Super Bowl Run
Hunter Renfrow Signs with Panthers—and This Bizarre NFL Pattern Points to a Super Bowl Run originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When former Clemson Tigers star Hunter Renfrow signed with the Carolina Panthers this offseason, it was already a compelling storyline. But now, according to the crew over at Pardon My Take, Renfrow might be walking straight into a Super Bowl destiny. Advertisement During a recent episode of the popular Barstool Sports podcast, hosts Big Cat and PFT Commenter dove into a bizarre—and oddly convincing—statistical pattern that suggests Carolina is on a crash course for the biggest game in football. It's the kind of thing that sounds too weird to be true, but when laid out, it becomes almost eerie. The theory originally came from a Panthers-focused podcast—likely the 'OVs and Giglo' show, as PFT jokingly mispronounced it. It starts with Ohio State winning the national championship in college football. That has happened in three key years: 2002, 2014, and 2024. Each time, a strange NFL pattern has followed involving the Panthers. Here's the sequence: 2002: Ohio State wins the national title. The Panthers finish with a losing record. The following year (2003), they open the NFL season against the Jaguars and go to the Super Bowl. 2014: Ohio State wins again. The Panthers finish with a losing record. The next season (2015), they open against Jacksonville—and again go to the Super Bowl. 2024: Ohio State just won the national championship. The Panthers had a losing season. And in 2025, they open the year… against the Jaguars. Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (13) warms up prior to the game against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium.© Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images Coincidence? The Pardon My Take guys don't think so. And it doesn't stop there. Advertisement PFT Commenter added another wrinkle—Jennifer Lopez's divorces. In each of those same years, filed for divorce: from Cris Judd in 2002, from Marc Anthony in 2014, and now in 2024, from Ben Affleck. If you're a Panthers fan, this is the kind of cosmic alignment that screams team of destiny. The joke may have started with a DM labeled the 'Tarek Skubal envelope' (a callback to a past sports prediction), but the trend is real enough to have fans placing futures bets. Now add Renfrow to the mix—a reliable slot receiver known for clutch catches and playoff moments—and suddenly, this feels less like internet nonsense and more like a prophecy in the making. He's already shown he can deliver in big moments. If the pattern holds, Renfrow may soon be doing it on the biggest stage of them all.
