Singer and actress Rihanna has donned multiple hats in the upcoming movie "The Smurfs". Along with lending her voice to Smurfette, she is also the producer and musical head of the project. Shedding light on playing multiple roles in the drama, Rihanna called it equally thrilling and challenging. Speaking during the global promotions, the 'Battleship' actress talked about her experience of being a part of the movie. "It was invigorating and exciting for me to not only embody a character but also bring my musical life into the mix. We worked with music producers and choreographers whose work I admire. To put those two worlds together was a win-win for everyone. It pushed us all to challenge our artistry", Rihanna added. Rihanna (left) and A$AP Rocky pose for photographers. AP She further revealed that during her childhood in Barbados, "Smurfs" was a part of her routine. The 'Ocean's 8' actress went on to share, "So many mornings, I woke up long before I was supposed to get ready for school just to get that dose of Smurfs." Rihanna added that she has related a lot to the character of Smurfette and what she stands for. "First of all, I have always loved makeup and hair. We all know that. And she's an esthetician. She's also a powerful leader, independent, strong, beautiful, sassy, witty, and very empathetic. I was super-inspired by all of that. I think she loves music too and her favorite genres are hip-hop, reggae, Afrobeats, ballads, and house. That's Smurfette. She needs options," she said. From left: Producer Ryan Harris, Ramsey Naito, Rihanna, Hugo Miller, Laura Miller and director Chris Miller pose for photographers upon arrival at the world premiere of the film "Smurfs" in Brussels on Saturday. AP Rihanna took inspiration for her character from some real-life women, plucking little things from each of them. "They are all so different in personality, tone, and attitude, but I feel like these are the women who are with me daily. Smurfette needed to come from all of us," she concluded. "The Smurfs" will be reaching India on July 18th. The movie will be available in both English and Hindi. Indo-Asian News Service

Isha Ambani's Met Gala 2025 necklace is exact replica of Anne Hathaway's Ocean's 8 diamonds; she says they belong to mom Nita Ambani
Isha Ambani was dressed in her finest jewelery at the Met Gala 2025 in New York and netizens couldn't help but notice that Isha's diamond necklace looked strikingly similar to the one worn by Anne Hathaway in the film Ocean's 8. Although, upon finer inspection, one can notice the minute difference in the size of the diamonds, and the number of diamonds in each of the necklaces. But, one can see that both these necklaces were inspired by the original design of Jacques Cartier, who first made the necklace for the Maharaja of Nawanagar in 1931. The royal family of Nawanagar was known for its exquisite collection of jewels and the necklace stayed in the family until 1960, and after that, Cartier bought it back. After Cartier purchased the necklace, it exchanged a few hands and the central diamond was recut, the other diamonds have also been in circulation. The necklace in its original form does not exist anymore. But, during the making of Ocean's 8, Cartier remade the necklace based on the necklace's archival pictures. The size of the necklace was reduced by 15-20 percent, as it had to be worn by Anne Hathaway in the film. The original necklace was designed for a man. In 2018, Vogue reported that the necklace made by Cartier cost around $150 million. View this post on Instagram A post shared by jewelswithjules • julia hackman chafé (@juliachafe) Isha, while talking about her jewellery at the Net Gala revealed that the jewellery belonged to her mother, Nita Ambani. One can assume that Ambanis were also inspired by the classic Cartier designed and got the necklace made. The original necklace was designed for Maharaja of Nawanagar in 1930. (Photo: Warner Bros) This was Isha's fifth time at the Met Gala. Her outfit was designed by Anamika Khanna, and she was styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania. In a video shared on Anaita's social media, she shared that the outft was finished and tried just two days ago so everything was quite last minute.
