Rihanna is back! After spending a long time behind the scenes with her beauty brand Fenty, she has now made a red carpet appearance–and not alone: She was accompanied by her two sons. A third child was also present, though still in her belly. She showcased it in a stylish drop-waist dress. STYLEBOOK tells you all about sexy maternity fashion.
Rihanna and Her Kids on the Red Carpet
The pictures are incredibly sweet: At the premiere of “The Smurfs: The Big Movie” in Los Angeles, Rihanna brought her sons RZA and Riot into the spotlight. They must have been excited about their mother’s new project. After all, Rihanna is the voice of Smurfette in the family film and contributed to the production. The title song “Friend of Mine” from the musical film is also partly written by Rihanna. Is it worth talking about? Opinions are divided on the singer’s first musical product since 2022.
Three-year-old RZA and 23-month-old Riot wore mini Dior outfits to the film premiere in California. RZA sported a white shirt with a pink tie and green cargo pants. The little, not even two-year-old Riot also opted for khaki, paired with white shorts. While Rihanna’s children shone, it was the singer and entrepreneur’s look that stood out; she wore the summer trend of 2025!
Out and About in a Stylish Drop-Waist Dress
A real eye-catcher was the chocolate brown ball gown made of satin and lace by Saint Laurent. The drop-waist dress featured a bustier with a balloon-shaped skirt and delicate spaghetti straps. The olive green satin ribbon added a charming pop of color, perfectly wrapping around her pregnant belly. The look was made special by a style break with a loose, brown bomber leather jacket, offering an interesting contrast to the delicate dress.
On top, Rihanna’s stylist opted for a loose messy bun, which looked elegant and practical at the same time. The hairstyle perfectly matches the new image of the 37-year-old. The family film project shows that she skillfully balances parenthood with partner A$AP Rocky and her musical career. On the red carpet, it was evident that she still has great taste, though she currently leans towards nostalgic-elegant looks. The hip-hop era is temporarily over, during which she mainly showcased urban styles. We love all versions of Rihanna!

The Drop-Waist Dress Is Back!
While the drop-waist dress looks very feminine in Rihanna’s combination, the history of the garment tells a different story. In the 1920s, the low-sitting silhouette was a clear statement against the corset era. The waistline moved lower, making it looser and more comfortable to wear. Visually, this made the whole look more streamlined and androgynous, thus somewhat more masculine.
No wonder the cut is back in style in 2025! Low-waist skirts have been circulating for some time, but now dresses are also embracing this casual style. If you choose such a dress in elegant fabrics and pair it with fine accessories like Rihanna on the red carpet, the cut still looks charmingly feminine.
