Pregnant Rihanna shows off her baby bump in a racy cut-out dress that flaunts her legs as she steps out with partner A$AP Rocky in Cannes
She pushed the boundaries of maternity style with her first two pregnancies.
And as Rihanna expects her third child she stepped out in yet another daring look while out and about in Cannes with her partner A$AP Rocky during the film festival on Tuesday.
The singer, 37, and the rapper, 36, revealed they were expecting their third child together at this year's Met Gala earlier this month.
Rihanna - who already has sons RZA, two, and Riot, 21 months, with A$AP - looked sensational in a racy black cut-out dress as she headed out in the south of France.
The revealing number showed off her changing shape and had a thigh-split that flaunted her pins and gorgeous curves.
By her side A$AP looked smart in a long brown coat and shades.
It comes after on Monday night Rihanna showed off her blossoming baby bump yet again as she supported A$AP at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of his new movie Highest 2 Lowest.
She looked happy and healthy as she made a typically late arrival to the red carpet.
The star looked great in a ruffled blue dress and strappy heels as her partner sweetly put her arms around her.
They were hit by some bad weather in Cannes however as they walked some of the red carpet in the pouring rain.
A$AP looked smart by her side as he showed off his sense of style in a black suit and shades.
Highest 2 Lowest is directed by Spike Lee and follows the story of a music mogul who faces a life-and-death moral dilemma when he gets caught up in a ransom plot.
It stars Denzel Washington, Ilfenesh Hadera, Jeffrey Wright, Ice Spice (in her film debut), and A$AP.
Earlier this month Rihanna insisted her new album won't be delayed too much by her pregnancy.
She confirmed the happy news at the Met Gala and some fans were wondering if it will impact her long awaited record.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the Umbrella hitmaker was asked if the album - which has been dubbed 'R9' - will be 'put on pause even longer'.
She said back: 'No, maybe a couple of videos.'
Fans have been waiting nine years for the collection, but RiRi hinted plans are still in place.
She then quipped: 'I can sing!'
Rihanna also revealed she isn't 'too overwhelmed' by her pregnancy, although there was some initial shock.
She added: 'I'm good! I'm shockingly feeling ok, and not too overwhelmed at the moment. At first it was kinda like, 'Ahhh!' '
In the meantime, fans are still waiting for the follow-up to 2016's Anti.
While details are few and far between, in February she offered a tease of what fans can expect from the album.
She told Harper's BAZAAR magazine: 'I've been in the studio the whole eight years. But it didn't hit me. I was searching for it.
'I went through phases of what I wanted to do. 'This kind of album, not that album'. I know it's not going to be anything that anybody expects.
'And it's not going to be commercial or radio, digestible. It's going to be where my artistry deserves to be right now. I feel like I've finally cracked it, girl!'
Rihanna insisted there was 'no genre' for the album, and she has been determined to make the next batch of songs something 'matching [her] evolution'.
She added: 'After a while, I looked at it, and I was like, this much time away from music needs to count for the next thing everyone hears.
'It has to count. It has to matter. I have to show them the worth in the wait.
'I cannot put up anything mediocre. After waiting eight years, you might as well just wait some more.'
At the Met ET's reporter then asked whether Rihanna and her boyfriend, ASAP Rocky, had any other news to share, like a secret wedding.
'No, girl, you don't know I keep secrets very well,' the Fenty Beauty founder replied.

Helen Flanagan strips down to blue lingerie as she opens up about cellulite and losing confidence in her body
Helen Flanagan stripped down to her underwear as she opened up about losing confidence in her looks in a new Instagram video on Friday. The Coronation Street star, 34, has become known for showing off her enviable physique in lingerie shoots over the years. But as she got ready for a night at the theatre, Helen revealed she's lost confidence in her figure in recent months after noticing 'cellulite'. Filming a 'get ready with me' for her fans, the stunner initially sported a pink set of pyjamas before stripping down to a sky blue lingerie set. 'My weight goes up and down,' she explained. 'It depends on my love life and how stressed I am.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. As she stunned in the skimpy lingerie, Helen then spoke about how she was pleased to have been asked to help edit the bra she was sporting. 'Even though sometimes you don't feel so confident or toned, just got for it,' the Corrie star added. 'Even though I've got cellulite and my body isn't as toned as it used to be, I just thought, "you know what Helen go for it, you only live once."' Helen later showed off her final look for the evening, with the beauty letting her blonde locks down with a denim blue button-up dress ready for her night out with a friend. The model's latest Instagram post comes days after she was pictured partying with Wayne Linker at the notorious O Beach Ibiza club. Following a heavy night, Helen shared her hungover state with her followers saying: 'I am really hungover, I am like a lizard. 'I am not drinking for a long time. I know I will feel better tomorrow. I have the school run tomorrow. 'Oh my god. I literally got in at six in the morning'. Helen later showed off her final look for the evening, with the beauty letting her blonde locks down with a denim blue button-up dress ready for her night out with a friend It came on the same week the 34-year-old model dramatically cut the asking price of her six bedroom luxury mansion on the outskirts of Bolton from £1.5million to £1,195,000. Admitting she's 'really struggling financially', Helen had initially listed the property spanning more than 5,000 feet in May. The mother-of-three had reportedly been left 'broke' following her split from ex Scott Sinclair, with Helen even claiming she barely had enough money to pay a £10 cab fare to get her son Charlie, three, to nursery. Helen and Scott separated in 2022 after 13 years together, before she moved on with Robbie Talbot, 45, only to split last month after a year of dating. On her failed romance with ex Scott, Helen revealed she was the one to call time on their relationship. She said they 'were always quietly breaking up and then getting back together' until one day she called it quits for good. Helen told The Sun: 'In the end, it was me who decided [to break up]. I'll always be sad it didn't work out, and we still have love for each other, but we're happier apart.' Speaking to Charlotte Dawson on her Naughty Corner podcast, Helen said: 'I still love him very much, I care about him deeply, but we don't like each other. 'We don't like each other at all, we don't get on. I do know that Scott - he'd never admit it - cares about me too and he does love me. 'But I'm so done, I could never have another relationship again where we would always be bickering. I haven't got another argument in me. 'As women we try and do anything we can to make it work with the father of your children and I did. But I think for me if I was in a relationship with someone else it would have to be easy because I haven't got the energy in me again, I've done all that with the father of my kids.' Helen went onto say co-parenting is 'hilarious' as she revealed the pair try and avoid each other so they don't 'argue' in front of their kids. She continued: 'I've been a single mum for two years now. Co-parenting is hilarious, we were together for 13 years. 'The last time I saw him, I thought it was quite funny, I was taking the p*** out of him because he had a bucket hat on. I think he was trying not to laugh. 'He lives in Bath and I live in North Manchester so its about five hours and we meet in Birmingham to exchange things and the kids. 'He's throwing things in my boot and I just started taking the mickey out of his bucket hat to lighten the mood. 'We just try and not be in the same house together because the children are the priority and I want a good environment for them and I don't want them to see us arguing.'

Love Island fans furious over ‘double standards' after Helena's raunchy sex confession
LOVE Island viewers have been left outraged over 'double standards' following Helena's raunchy sex confession. It comes after fans called for a "misogynistic" star to be axed after a series of derogatory comments. 5 5 5 In yesterday's episode, Helena admitted she previously had a threesome with two men. Meanwhile, Harry, who she is currently coupled with, discussed this with the other lads. It was during a boys' night away from the villa, where they were met by three bombshells. Those watching at home were not impressed and felt his remarks were unfair - while it came just a day after the pair snuck off to the Hideaway together to spend the night. Harry told the others - unaware Helena was listening from the villa: 'For me, with Helena, it's like, I don't know if she's just a good time girl. Like, as I know, the more I'm getting to know her, like… 'I'm having a good time, but I wanna have a long time. "What I'm learning about her lifestyle, and like, what she does, like, she goes out a lot. We had the conversations - you were all there. She had a threesome. 'I don't think that really worries me. Because like, I can guarantee I've done worse, sort of thing. But I think it did surprise me a little bit. 'What I'm learning about her lifestyle, and like, what she does, like, she goes out a lot. We had the conversations - you were all there. She had a threesome. 'I don't think that really worries me. Because like, I can guarantee I've done worse, sort of thing. But I think it did surprise me a little bit. 'It's not I wanted to take a step back or anything. It was just more like, okay, I need to learn more, just to figure out what she's gonna really be like.' Back in the villa, Helena raged: 'F**k me. Oh, my dirty laundry, is it?' Harry continued: 'But if she's still there, if she's still in that phase of her life where it's like, she wants to have a good time, then it might not be the right time for me and her.' One fan said: "Yayyyy double standards." Another remarked: "He didn't care about her background when they went to the hideaway." A third shared: "What's Harry's surname? Ah yes Double-Standard, my bad I forgot." While a fourth remarked: "Wow, the judgement of that boy when 'hes done worse' the putdown before the brag is wild! Must be from the insecurity of going thin in the front talking!" A fifth chimed in: "Hmm double standards eh one rule for a guy and one for the girl." Elsewhere, Helena chose to recouple with Harry - despite him expressing an interest in Shakira still. Love Island 2025 full lineup Harry Cooksley: A 30-year-old footballer with charm to spare.

This Lego-obsessed city is Europe's best break for kids
For once, my daughters are excited about lunch. They've even knowingly ordered a vegetable, unheard of in their respective five and four years on this planet. But then, they've never before been offered lunch by a robot. Nor ordered it by slotting Lego bricks together and pushing them into a machine. This is the magic of Mini Chef, the restaurant at the centre of Lego House in Billund, southern Denmark (child meals £15, adult £26). Here meals are made — so the story goes — by a Lego chef in a chaotic kitchen that we watch on a tableside screen. The food then makes its way down a spiral conveyor belt to a pair of robot waitors, Robert and Roberta. Wearing Lego bowties and fixing us with goggly Lego eyes, Robert and Roberta wave at the waiting children, prompting shrieks and giggles. And there is something for the parents: the menu is heavy on veggies and dishes are tasty (think cauliflower and chickpea curry, and oven-roasted salmon). I've come with my husband and three young children to visit Billund's Lego House, the 'Home of the Brick', a towering building that appears like 21 giant blocks stacked in the city's central square (from £27, under 3s free; Inside are 25 million Lego bricks, some masterfully composed into models ranging from dinosaurs to a giant tree, the others scattered about in four 'experience zones' ready for building. Energy levels have been high all morning ever since we were issued with personal — and scannable – bright yellow wristbands at the entrance to Lego House and told to use them to identify ourselves at the cameras stationed around the numerous activities in the four zones. Cue sprints towards buckets of Lego blocks, determined to get there first, and endless jostling in front of screens to grab the perfect memento of the latest creation. The selfies we take using the cameras are stored in the Lego House system for us to access via the QR code on our wristbands when we get home. • 16 of the best family adventure holidays We start by grabbing a Lego base plate to build brick self-portraits of how we're feeling (excited, obviously) and load them into a machine that scans our creations to generate a digital version on screen, which we then watch dance to electronic music. Then we move on to create a fish, which is also rendered digital but then released into an aquarium to swim with — gulp — a giant Lego shark. Everything is brightly coloured, larger than life, interactive and the girls can't get enough of it all. Their younger brother, who is two, struggles to play along. But then we find the Duplo train builder activity, which engages him in quiet play for long enough that I can take his sisters to the Robo Lab to program a robot. It's simple coding and almost certainly the first they've ever tackled. Still, my four-year-old daughter figures it out before I do and gets her robot to move around the digital garden, planting seeds and watering them to make flowers for the bees, while I jab uselessly at the screen doing all the wrong things. A preview, surely, of our future family dynamics when it comes to tech. I had thought there might not be enough at Lego House to engage us for an entire day. But, in each zone we walk through, we're constantly pulled from one room to the next by more and more enticing builds to try. Hours pass, we take dozens of photos, and I begin to understand why Lego has long been the world's most popular toy. I even lose myself in creating an intricate Lego flower, shaping two shades of yellow into petals and combing through seemingly bottomless buckets of blocks to find exactly the right hinge to attach them. I'm normally far too impatient for this sort of activity, yet I probably spend at least 20 minutes here, my daughters both silently building right beside me. By the time I've finished and am planting my flower in the Lego garden, my shoulders have dropped and my breathing slowed. I feel like I do after a yoga class, minus the sore muscles. Only in Billund. • 18 of the best European city breaks with children There are ten Legoland theme parks worldwide, including the one in Windsor, but Billund is the only one with a Lego House. It was in this small Danish town that the local toymaker Ole Kirk Kristiansen invented the brick and it very much remains its home. A large factory and the company headquarters are here and it feels like a town that Lego built — not least because there are vast Lego blocks to climb on in the street, and every second person you see is either wearing a Lego employee lanyard or carrying a bulging bag of goodies from the Lego shop. You don't visit Billund if you don't love Lego. And, if you do love Lego, you'll almost certainly want to stay in the Legoland hotel. The themed bedrooms run from Arthurian knights to Ninjago ninjas and are decorated with characters built from Lego bricks — we find a ladybird above the bed and a butterfly in the bathroom — and have bunk beds for the kids. It's fun, if a little tired in places, and the castle-themed playground within easy hollering distance of our room is a boon come evening and the need to run off steam before bed. Billund is a compact place and everything we need is walkable from the hotel. With three children who all require car seats, not needing a hire car is a huge relief. I instantly love the pleasant 20-minute walk from the hotel to the town centre, winding along a pedestrianised riverside walkway lined with large modern sculptures. We stroll this route several times during our May half-term break, walking into the town for cinnamon rolls at Billund Bageri, dinner at one of the simple restaurants (pizza is a fixture) or to let the kids loose in the playgrounds on the roof of Lego House. One afternoon we walk in for a preview of the Lego Masters Academy, inspired by the TV series of the same name, which will pit talented Lego builders against each other when it launches in September. On the ground floor of Lego House, it will offer hands-on sessions for Lego fans, teaching building skills from foundation level to the technically advanced, for a separate charge (adults and children £23). This is most likely to appeal to AFOLs, or adult fans of Lego — an impassioned community of Lego-lovers who create incredible custom builds, some of which are on display in the Masterpiece Gallery on the top floor of Lego House — but the sessions also cater for builders from the age of five. This makes my eldest daughter the youngest these sessions are suitable for. She's completely captivated from the get-go and creates something far more intricate than I would have imagined she was capable of, which she insists we display the second we get home. I resolve to challenge her more in future and to leave the box of Lego out in the living room more often. Before leaving Billund, we must, or course, visit actual Legoland (adults and children £37, under 2s free). After all, we can see it from our hotel. This is the original Lego theme park, opened in 1968 as a place to display the company's exhibition of models. Now owned by Merlin, today it's more focused on child-friendly rides. We visit twice to spin on the carousel and giggle ourselves giddy on the Flying Eagle rollercoaster. There are rides even my two-year-old son can enjoy (a Duplo-themed mini train, a safari to see Lego animals) and the girls are cock-a-hoop when they discover that Mummy isn't allowed to accompany them on the Frog Hopper. I strap them in and watch them dissolve into near-hysteria together, whooping each other into the sort of frenzy of jubilation only childhood knows as they're flung up and down a tower like a frog hopping in the air. I find myself grinning and waving non-stop throughout their ride. • 13 of the best family-friendly weekend breaks in the UK Sure, sometimes parenting means standing back and letting your children have all the fun but on this trip, more often than not, I've been giggling and whooping right along with them. The home of Lego? It's a blockbuster hit. Helen Ochyra was a guest of Lego House. The Legoland Hotel has B&B family rooms from £300, including a two-day ticket to Legoland ( Fly to Billund
