Pregnant Rihanna looks stylish in an unbuttoned blouse and waistcoat as she joins A$AP Rocky at Dior show during Paris Fashion Week
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky put on an incredibly stylish display on Friday as they attended the Dior show during Paris Fashion Week.
The pregnant Umbrella hitmaker, 37, wore a plunging white shirt and lime green waistcoat, which highlighted her baby bump.
She paired the base of her outfit with a brown and blue patterned coat and grey trousers, adding a further splash of colour with brown sunglasses with a clear frame.
The star kept it cool by wearing her hair up in a messy up-do, emphasising her extravagant choice of jewellery, which included a striking Marlo Laz pearl necklace - worth a staggering $70,000 (£51,015).
A$AP, 36, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, wore a blue shirt and jeans, similarly adding a splash of colour with a red, blue and green Dior tie.
The couple's casually stylish outfits were very much in keeping with the theme of the Dior Homme Menswear Ready-to-wear Spring-Summer 2026 show, which took inspiration from the designer's New Look and the tailored suits that characterised it in the 1950s.

Rihanna's current pregnancy will see her welcome her third child with the rapper, who she has been in a relationship with since late 2019.
The couple welcomed their first son, RZA Athelston Mayers, in May 2022, and their second, Riot Rose Mayers, in August 2023.
Rihanna's appearance at the Paris Fashion Week event comes after her father's cause of death was tragically revealed on Thursday.
Ronald Fenty died on May 30 at the age of 70 from a combination of acute respiratory failure, pancreatic cancer, and aspiration pneumonia, according to TMZ.
Additional causes listed include acute renal failure and acute tubular necrosis, both indicating severe kidney damage.
The cause of death comes after DailyMail.com reported that the Umbrella singer, who is currently pregnant with her third child, is struggling with the abrupt and heart-wrenching loss of Ronald.
Although the pair had a complex relationship, which included periods of both reconciliation and estrangement, an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively that the death of the superstar's dad has taken a heavy toll on the superstar (born Robyn Rihanna Fenty).
'Robyn has had a very difficult relationship with her father over the years but his death has hit her like a ton of bricks,' the source said.
Over the weekend, news broke that Ronald (pictured here with Rihanna and her younger brother Rajad, now 29, in 2012) died at age 70 in Los Angeles following a 'brief illness,' according to Starcom Network, a local outlet from Barbados
'Being pregnant and dealing with A$AP's legal woes have been an emotional roller coaster for her the last few months, and to add to it all, her dad was getting sick, and it started to become too much,' they added.
They continued: 'As much as you realise that something like this is occurring, it is still completely heartbreaking and that is where she is right now.'
The insider also noted that she 'has forgiven her father and, in death, they got back to a loving father and daughter relationship.'
'But, she is in pain, especially being a mother herself and there being a chance that her kids would have lost their dad to jail a few months back, she feels how important family is,' the source explained.
'This is going to take a long time, and maybe even forever to get over. Sad time in her world right now.'
Over the weekend, news broke that Fenty died at age 70 in Los Angeles following a 'brief illness,' according to Starcom Network, a local outlet from Barbados.
The rapper had a particularly tumultuous start to the year after he was accused of firing a gun at a friend - a crime that carried a potential prison sentence of up to 24 years.
The musician was found not guilty of the two felony charges against him in February.

Rei Kawakubo redefines men's suits with radical designs at Paris Fashion Week
Rei Kawakubo, the ever-restless force behind Comme des Garçons, delivered a characteristically unpredictable twist on men's tailoring, dismantling the traditional suit and remaking it in her own radical image. Titled 'Not Suits, But Suits,' the Paris Fashion Week show had models striding through a packed, overheated concrete venue Friday evening in looks that both nodded to and defied the idea of formalwear. Classic suit elements, jackets, lapels, pressed trousers, were reimagined with sharp, architectural interventions: bulging hips, layered or panniered silhouettes, and unexpected splashes of color. Some jackets appeared as if spliced apart and reassembled, while skinny pants revealed hidden panels and bursts of pattern through carefully placed zippers. Layering abounded, with cropped jackets stacked over pleated shirting, kilts and shorts. Knitwear was shredded and reconstructed, echoing a sense of disorder within the tailored frame. Accessories pushed the eccentricity further — models wore oversized, multi-brimmed caps crafted from suiting fabrics, paired with long braided wigs and formal shoes. The collection evoked the need for something transformative in unsettled times. Its atmosphere only heightened the collection's message: in Kawakubo's world, the suit is not a uniform of conformity but a canvas for disruption. As guests spilled out into the night, applause rang out for a designer who continues to turn fashion's certainties inside out.

Khloe Kardashian looks ethereal in a plunging pink dress as she glams up for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's $20M wedding in Venice - before making early exit from A-list bash
Khloe Kardashian was a vision of glamour as she attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's lavish $20M wedding in Venice on Friday. The 41-year-old Good American founder shared a series of stunning snaps to Instagram on Saturday, capturing herself getting ready for the star-studded affair. Khloe turned heads in a plunging pink sequin gown that hugged her figure, paired with a dramatic long tulle jacket draped over her arms. She completed the look with a dazzling silver necklace and earrings. In the photos, she posed in her hotel room and hallway before heading out to the glitzy celebration. Later in the evening, Khloe was spotted meeting up with her sister Kim as they waited in line to board a gondola. Kim, 44, looked equally stunning in a plunging black mesh maxi dress embellished with sequins. The sisters appeared in high spirits as they climbed aboard the boat and made their way to the lavish wedding venue. Described as the 'wedding of the century,' the Amazon founder and former journalist exchanged vows in front of almost 200 VIP guests. Following the ultra-exclusive ceremony, the billionaire couple threw a star-studded reception attended by high-profile guests, including Oprah Winfrey, Ivanka Trump, Usher, and Orlando Bloom. However, Kim and Khloe were snapped making a swift exit from the $20million affair by boat as they bailed before the end of the bash. And once again on Saturday morning, the Kardashian sisters didn't waste any time leaving Venice on Saturday despite festivities being far from over. Their mother Kris, 69, and sisters Kendall, 29, and Kylie, 27, were nowhere in sight as the duo headed out of Venice, as they appeared to be staying in the city for longer. But the celebrations are far from over, with the festivities slated to continue at the Arsenale di Venezia on Saturday night. The extravagant wedding - reportedly costing $20million and drawing ire from locals - was capped off with an eyebrow-raising gift from the bride. While Jeff chose stylish ViBi Venezia blue velvet slippers for the gentleman guests, Lauren gave the ladies black open-toe slippers from Amazon - seizing the opportunity to promote her billionaire husband's e-commerce empire. Festivities for the Bezos wedding began on Thursday night – the first of three days of lavish parties in the Floating City as guests will once again celebrate on Saturday night. But ahead of the star-studded nuptials, sources reveal that the couple are already married. A closely connected source said: 'They have been married for at least a month, more than a month. 'The marriage is fully legal and took place in America under American law.' 'When they were planning the wedding, they were clear about the fact that they were already secretly married,' they added. 'There is no application for a wedding licence from the couple because it was not required.' The source continued: 'Whatever happens at the wedding on Friday, it will not be a wedding. 'Under Italian law, it will not be a wedding celebration, any vows said or rings exchanged will have no legal meaning.' The source added that Bezos had personally confirmed that he and Sanchez – who met when both were married to other people – are already legally married, and that they had also signed a pre-nuptial agreement to protect his $244 billion (£177 billion) fortune. Celebrities, politicians and business titans gathered in the city for the wedding amid local protests. Among them were some of the world's most eligible bachelors, including Orlando Bloom, freshly split from fiancée Katy Perry; divorced sporting superstar Tom, and divorced talent agent and billionaire music executive Scooter Braun. Former US President Barack Obama was among guests – he and Bezos have been on warm terms for years, and Bezos donated $100 million (£72 million) to the Obama Foundation in 2021. Others attending included former chat show host Oprah Winfrey and her best friend, TV presenter and author Gayle King, who went on the much-mocked space 'flight' on Bezos Blue Origin rocket last month with Sanchez and an all-female team. Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka attended along with husband Jared Kushner, but the President himself – reportedly invited – will not come to Venice. She was joined by her sister Khloe who put on an equally glamorous display in a strapless pink gown with a feathered shawl They both snapped selfies as they made the most of their time in Venice, though they dashed off the next day Oprah Winfrey was also among the star-studded guest list and looked incredible in a pink dress, showing off her slimmed-down frame Both Jeff and Lauren were there for Trump's inauguration earlier this year and he attracted much criticism when his Washington Post newspaper declined to endorse Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the US election last year. Queen Rania of Jordan had also been seen, as were fashion duo Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. However, things have not gone smoothly, following huge protest from locals and environmental groups over the nuptials, with one gigantic banner in St. Mark's Square reading: 'If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax.' Greenpeace and the UK-based collective Everyone Hates Elon have joined the protests attempting to disrupt, or even prevent, the planned wedding celebrations. 'Jeff Bezos is the second-richest man in the world yet is reported to pay a 1.1 percent true tax rate,' the two groups said in a joint statement. 'The multi-million-dollar wedding is reportedly happening over three days, with the wedding ring alone worth as much as $5million.' A spokesperson from Everyone Hates Elon said: 'As governments talk about hard choices and struggle to fund public services, Jeff Bezos can afford to shut down half a city for days on end just to get married.' Jeff Bezos waved and appeared in high spirits ahead of his wedding to Lauren Sanchez on Friday As a result of the public hostility to their descent on Venice, plans were ripped up and remade over the past week. The bride and groom have now left their $500 million (£363 million) yacht, the Koru, off the coast of Croatia, although it was initially intended to be moored in Venice. The venues for the various celebrations have changed, too, with plans for Saturday's party now moved to Arsenale, the shipbuilding yards, which are easier to make secure.

Hip-hop trio Kneecap to play Glastonbury despite calls for ban
GLASTONBURY, England, June 28 (Reuters) - Irish hip-hop group Kneecap will perform at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday despite criticism by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and pressure from some in the music industry to pull the gig. Frontman Liam O'Hanna, whose stage name is Mo Chara, was charged with a terrorism offence last month for allegedly displaying a flag in support of Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah at a concert in November. He was mobbed by supporters chanting "Free Palestine" and "Free Mo Chara" when he appeared at court in London. He was released on unconditional bail until another hearing in August. Footage has also emerged of the band saying on stage: "Kill your local MP" and "The only good Tory is a dead Tory." They have apologised for the comments about killing an MP. Starmer told the Sun newspaper earlier in June it was "not appropriate" for Kneecap, who rap in Irish and English, to appear at Glastonbury. Opposition leader Kemi Badenoch has also commented, saying the BBC, which broadcasts the festival, should not show them. Some 30 music industry bosses asked organisers to pull Kneecap from the line-up, according to a letter leaked by the DJ Toddla T, cited by the Guardian. In response, more than 100 musicians have signed a public letter in support of the group. Kneecap's manager Dan Lambert said the group had expected calls for the group's performance to be cancelled. "We knew that the biggest pressure would come on Glastonbury because Glastonbury's an institution," he told Reuters. But it had not been an issue for organisers. "We didn't bring it up and they didn't bring it up," he said on site at Worthy Farm. "They treated us professionally." Organiser Emily Eavis said on Wednesday the festival was a platform for artists from all over the world, adding that "everyone is welcome here". The footage of O'Hanna displaying the flag came to light after the Northern Irish trio projected pro-Palestinian messages on stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California in April, ending with: "Fuck Israel. Free Palestine." Kneecap, whose other members have the stage names Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí, have said they do not support Hamas or Hezbollah. O'Hanna said on Friday the group were "playing characters" on stage, and it was up to the audience to interpret their messages. "Take what you want from it, but we're not going to change in that way," he told the Guardian newspaper.
