A$AP Rocky Joined by Pregnant Rihanna on Rainy Red Carpet for ‘Highest 2 Lowest’ Cannes Premiere

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky had to break out their trusty umbrella at Monday night’s (May 19) rainy Highest 2 Lowest world premiere at France’s Cannes Film Festival.

Rocky wore a black suit, black Ray-Bans and a full set of grillz to the premiere of the Spike Lee-directed film — in which he co-stars opposite Denzel Washington — while Rihanna showed off her growing baby bump in an electric-blue dress with strategic cutouts and a scarf tie at the neck. The expectant couple posed together on the carpet under their umbrella as raindrops fell all around them, and Rocky posed elsewhere on the carpet cradling Rihanna’s belly with his chin resting on her shoulder.

It was the second time this month that fans have gotten to see the couple at a red-carpet event, following Rihanna’s baby-bump reveal at the Met Gala in New York City on May 5 when fans learned the couple is expecting baby No. 3. Rocky talked to reporters on the Met Gala carpet and celebrated letting their big news out into the world. “It feels amazing, you know?” he said in an Associated Press video. “We were tired of holding that, and it was time to show the people what we was cooking up. I’m glad everybody’s happy for us, because we’re definitely happy.”

The crime thriller Highest 2 Lowest reunites Lee and Washington for a fifth time, with A$AP Rocky co-starring as Washington’s son, Yung Felon. The project also serves as Ice Spice’s feature film debut.

The film is set for a U.S. theatrical release on Aug. 22.

Rihanna last walked a Cannes Film Festival red carpet in 2017, for a screening of the film Okja, wearing a white strapless dress with a matching robe and sunglasses.
