Expecting parents Rihanna and A$AP Rocky danced the night away in Cannes, just before welcoming their newest bundle of joy.
A now-viral clip of the lovebirds partying together on the night of May 19, 2025, has been making waves on social media.
The footage was taken at the Ray-Ban after-party held in the South of France, following their red carpet appearance at the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival. The couple was there to support the premiere of Highest 2 Lowest, Rocky’s latest film.
The Fenty Beauty mogul stunned in a figure-hugging ocean-blue halter-neck gown, styled with a pair of white Ray-Ban sunglasses. Rocky complemented her glam with an oversized black suit, chunky gold wristwatch, and matching black Ray-Bans.
Behind the DJ booth, the stylish duo was seen dancing and celebrating in full party mode.
In another clip from the same night, the Sundress rapper wrapped his arms around Rihanna, holding her close as they swayed to the electro beats. He also held a lit smoke and an alcohol bottle in one of his hands.

Rihanna Flaunts Baby Bump On Date Night With Rocky
On May 20, 2025, the Diamonds singer and A$AP were spotted enjoying a romantic date night at Palm Beach in Cannes, where they headed to an intimate dinner at a local restaurant.
For the evening, Rihanna wore a daring all-black sheer dress featuring a one-shoulder scoop neckline, a cutout that showed off her baby bump, and a thigh-high slit on the right side that put her legs on full display.
In a short paparazzi video, the lovebirds were seen walking closely together toward the restaurant. While the Praise The Lord rapper walked confidently with a neutral expression, RiRi appeared slightly uneasy in the revealing gown.
She held the fabric in place with one hand and kept her gaze lowered as she passed the cameras, doing her best to avoid a wardrobe mishap.
