After taking a break from the spotlight to do the parenthood thing with A$AP Rocky and their two children, RZA and Riot (we love those names), Rihanna has been slowly reintroducing herself to the world and has reminded us that she’s still that baddie from Barbados that we can’t get enough of.

Her latest stunning appearance came during this year’s Crop Over festival, where the “Umbrella” singer took to the streets of St. Michael in her home country of Barbados, and needless to say, she stole the show. According to ET Online, Riri rocked the heck out of a bejeweled bodysuit, which showed just why so many men (and some women) are obsessed with the 36-year-old superstar.
Per ET Online:

The jaw-dropping costume came complete with an ornate headdress and a pair of massive, brilliantly colorful feathered wings, giving her a phoenix-like vibe as she made her grand entrance during the event’s Grand Kadooment parade.
This marks Rihanna’s first time at Crop Over Festival since 2019, TMZ reports.
The beloved songstress has made several appearances at the Caribbean festival over the years, and has sported a whole array of different, steamy, feather-adorned ensembles.

At this point, Marvel Studios needs to cast her as a superhero or something because she looks amazing in that outfit.
Props to A$AP Rocky for not being one of those “You not wearing that outside!” kind of hubbys.
Though this is Rihanna’s first appearance at the festival in quite some time, she does have a history of being a show stopper at it, and we hope she continues to do so for the foreseeable future.
How did y’all think Rihanna looked at the Crop Over Festival this year? Let us know in the comments section below.

Rihanna may be a mother of two and possibly married to A$AP Rocky, but many men still daydream about her. Recently, she gave everyone something else to think about whenever fantasizing about her.

Yesterday, the bombshell from Barbados took to Instagram to post a video of her new photoshoot in which the 36-year-old was decked out in “schoolgirl” attire and flashed her panties as she walked away. Looking like she could easily walk into any high school and not be questioned about her age, Rihanna once again reminded us why she’s one of the baddest women alive and in the caption took a humbling and comedic approach to her beauty writing, “since I clearly won’t be achieving my six pack til next summer, I switched my summer goal to matching my shoes to my panties!”

The new post comes weeks after she posed as a schoolgirl in a promo clip for her FENTY x PUMA collection. No panties were shown in this video, but needless to say, fans still took notice of her schoolgirl look. Whether that leads to high schoolers actually buying the merchandise remains to be seen, but we’re not mad at her effort.

Rihanna put the father of her children and son in front of the camera to help her push her latest underwear campaign.
You could hear the collective aww throughout social media after Savage X Fenty, Rihanna’s popular lingerie brand, unveiled its new Classics campaign starring her boyfriend, Hip-Hop star and fashion killa ASAP Rocky, and her son RZA.

In the photo, the couple’s now 2-year-old firstborn child sits on the rapper’s shoulders, wearing black tank tops and matching boxer briefs.

We love to see Rocky in his dad element.
The power couple became first-time parents in May 2022 and welcomed their second child, Riot Rose, in August 2023.
While the Navy, Rihanna’s incredibly loyal fanbase, is clamoring for a new album from the Bajan mogul, she is taking her sweet time to pump it out while admitting she and Rocky are not done pumping out kids.
Per Billboard:
Earlier this month, for a cover story with Interview magazine, RiRi opened up about the possibility of expanding her family even more. “As many as God wants me to have,” the nine-time Grammy winner told her former stylist Mel Ottenberg in their all-encompassing chat regarding having more children down the line. “I don’t know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course, if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.”
We don’t blame Rihanna for dragging her feet regarding the music. She’s clearly enjoying being a mother, slinging panties, men’s underwear, makeup, and now hair care products with Fenty Hair.

Rihanna, take your time and continue living your best life with ASAP Rocky and your beautiful children.
The Navy and other fans are not going anywhere.

Fresh off the launch of Fenty Hair, Rihanna just secured a new deal. The “Lift Me Up” singer is the new face of Dior’s classic J’Adore fragrance, the fashion brand announced on Tuesday (June 18).

“The scent, that I have known and loved for so long, means so much to women,” Rihanna said in a statement, per Women’s Wear Daily. “I am especially looking forward to joining this adventure and contributing to it through my world, my story, my roots, as well as my creativity and my own femininity.”

To cement to new collab, Dior posted a photo of Rihanna on Instagram with the caption, “Christian Dior is truly delighted to welcome icon Rihanna, whose wide-ranging talents, remarkable beauty and universal appeal now embody the world of J’adore.

Rih Rih co-signed the collaboration, writing, “The secret is out,” on X on Tuesday. The Fenty Beauty founder will appear in a forthcoming campaign shot by photographer Steven Klein on Sept. 1.

Rihanna has a long relationship with Dior. Apart from being spotted at several Dior fashion shows, most recently during Paris Fashion Week earlier this year and during her first pregnancy, Rihanna became Dior’s first Black ambassador in 2015.

“The choice of Rihanna to be the next face of J’Adore was obvious for us,” noted Véronique Courtois, CEO of Parfums Christian Dior. “Not only is she one of the greatest and most powerful artists of all times, she is also multitalented, a successful entrepreneur, a committed humanitarian, a mother of two and a singular beauty.”

Dior’s marque women’s fragrance balances floral with fruity featuring fragrant notes of ylang-ylang, Turkish Damascus rose, jasmine grandiflorum and Indian jasmine sambac.

Rihanna’s had fans doing a double take when she stepped out in New York over the weekend. The mother of two was spotted wearing what appeared to be socks on her feet, but they’re not socks, they’re designer boots from Bottega Veneta and currently flying off shelves, likely due to Rihanna’s power.

As of Thursday (May 23), the $1,100 Domenica Boot is almost out of stock on the Bottega Veneta website. The Domenica Boot, introduced in last year, is described as a knitted cotton boot with a “sock effect.”

The brand recommends keeping the shoes away from direct light, and filling them with tissue paper to maintain the shape.

Also, if the boots get wet, you’ll need to dry them immediately. You can clean them with a soft, dry cloth or brush, per Bottega Venetta.

Rihanna paired the shoe-socks with an Awake NY jacket, jogging pants and a baseball cap. Her $225 nylon pullover features white and blue detailing and a crown logo on the front.

And it’s not just her fashion (and newly blonde locks) that has been making headlines. The Grammy winner has been wracking up the frequent flyer miles lately. Last week, Rihanna traveled to China for a Fenty Beauty pop-up event in Shanghai. Last month, she traveled to London to promote her new Puma Creeper collection and in March, Rihanna flew to Junagadh, India where she performed at the wedding of Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani, son of billionaire businessman, Mukesh Ambani. The performance marked her first full concert in eight years.   

In other Fenty news, Savage x Fenty and Fenty Beauty are kicking off Memorial Day weekend early with must-shop sales on both sites. Shoppers can save up to 70% off at Savage x Fenty and up to 60% off select Fenty Beauty products.

If we’ve learned anything about Jay-Z over the years it’s that he isn’t one to play about his family whether it be immediate or business related. So when Stephen A. Smith threw a tad bit of shade at Rihanna’s Super Bowl Performance, Hova had a little something to say.

Recently, during a sit-down interview on the Connect The Dots podcast, the sports journalist icon revealed that when he implied that Rihanna’s 2023 Super Bowl Halftime performance couldn’t measure up to that of Beyoncé’s in 2016, not only did some celebrities take issue with his comments, but Jay himself chimed in when the two spoke on the phone.

Saying “people who will remain nameless” and “Hollywood stars,” Smith said people were so mad at him that they never spoke to him again. And it had him wondering what was so taboo about his opinion. Ultimately, things came to a head when Stephen A. spoke to the GOAT himself, Jay-Z.
Recalling a conversation the two had some time later, Smith said, “Months later, Hov and I were on the phone. Hov was like – simple and plain, ‘My dawg, you family, that’s family. That’s too close to say that.’ I said, ‘I didn’t know.’ He said, ‘I know.’ Done! In other words, it’s a business, it’s a part of it, you don’t know how she’ll receive it, etc. etc. etc. That’s all he had to say. I appreciated that.”
We don’t know much, but what we do know is that you do not want Jay-Z in your ear telling you how you F’d up. Either personally or in a business sense. Good thing he didn’t say the opposite and imply that Rihanna was superior to Beyoncé. Things could’ve gotten hella ugly. Just sayin’.

Sometimes there’s nothing better than when a man and his woman work together on a professional project of some sort and it seems like A$AP Rocky and Rihanna have gone that route as they’ve just released a short film for Riri’s Fenty Lux Balm line.

Dubbed Born to Steal: Yours, Mine, Ours, the black-and-white clip features the two lovebirds in a swanky atmosphere in which Rihanna goes through A$AP’s wardrobe looking for some spiffy duds to “steal.” Stepping out the house in A$AP’s stolen blazer to flashing lights we assume are from the paparazzi, Rocky looks on from the second floor window as he throws on some lip balm that’s surely from his “Blazer Bandit” baby mama’s Fenty Lux line.

We can’t even front, this was cute, heartwarming and seductive all at the same time. Props to these two for collaborating on this little intimate promotional clip. While we love it y’all know Drake somewhere salty as hell about it. Maybe Rihanna should send Drizzy some of her lip balm cause y’all know too much salt will make your lips dry as hell. Just sayin.’
