Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Rihanna brought down the house on Monday night after she arrived fashionably late at the 2025 Met Gala, ending hours of speculation about whether she would show up amid news of her pregnancy. The Context Rihanna arrived around 10 p.m. ET, nearly breaking her own record for arriving late for fashion's biggest night (the megastar made her red carpet appearance at the 2023 Met Gala around 10:15 p.m., by which time many other stars had already left the event). What To Know The internet erupted when the 37-year-old "We Found Love" singer finally made her entrance at this year's Met Gala, whose theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," was an homage to Black dandyism with a focus on menswear. When Rihanna arrived, the official account on X, formerly Twitter, for the Metropolitan Museum of Art gushed and referenced the singer's hit song, "Where Have You Been?" "Wheeeeere haaaave youuuuu beeeeeeen?@rihanna closes out the carpet," the Met posted on X.

Evan Agostini/Invision/AP Spotify's official account on X posted: "baby bump is @rihanna's best accessory," along with a green heart emoji. Rihanna's longtime partner and this year's Met Gala co-chair, rapper A$AP Rocky, confirmed over the weekend that the couple are expecting their third child. "It feels amazing, you know," A$AP Rocky told reporters on Monday. "It's time that we show the people what we was cooking up. And I'm glad everybody's happy for us 'cause we definitely happy, you know." Shortly after Rihanna arrived on the red carpet, someone in attendance—likely a reporter—jokingly asked if she brought her "umbrella-ella-ella," referencing the singer's 2007 song, "Umbrella." Rihanna burst into laughter and said, "Rocky brought that! I brought the kid!" Rihanna at the Met Gala ✨ 'Did you bring your umbrella-ella?' 'Rocky brought that!

Former Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris was the evening's surprise guest and wore a custom black-and-white gown by Off-White, the brand founded by the celebrated late Black designer Virgil Abloh. Harris skipped the red carpet, however, and sneaked into the event without appearing in front of cameras. What People Are Saying MTV referenced Rihanna's now-confirmed pregnancy, writing on X alongside a video of her showing off her baby bump on the red carpet: "That's MOTHER!! LITERALLLYY!!" Rihanna quipped to one reporter on the red carpet: "I can barely wink, but I'll do it for you." What's Next The Met Gala's red carpet came to an end after Rihanna's fashionably late arrival Monday night.

As well as voicing Smurfette in the new family adventure comedy, Rih has also recorded new music for the project. On Thursday, the first trailer for Smurfs debuted online, with the Love On The Brain singer going big on pushing the project on her social media channels.

In the years since her 2016 album Anti was released, Rihanna has released only a handful of new songs, instead focussing her attention on her Fenty lines of beauty and lingerie. A year after Anti came out, she collaborated with N.E.R.D. on their song Lemon, and released the hit Wild Thoughts with DJ Khaled and Bryson Tiller. More recently, she worked with PartyNextDoor on the 2020 single Believe It, and contributed the Oscar-nominated ballad Lift Me Up to the soundtrack of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in 2022. In 2023, Rihanna headlined the Super Bowl Half-Time Show, which led to rumours that she could be about to head out on tour. However, she later insisted that this would not be the case until she had 'new music' and… well… we're still waiting. Smurfs is due to hit cinemas in July, boasting an all-star cast that also includes Hannah Waddingham, Oscar winner Octavia Spencer, Natasha Lyonne, James Corden, Dan Levy, Amy Sedaris and Nick Offerman. The iconic blue characters last hit the big screen over a decade ago, when Rihanna's friend and fellow popstar Katy Perry lent her voice to Smurfette.
