Rihanna has returned to the red carpet for the first time since giving birth five months ago.

The Pon De Replay hitmaker attended the premiere of Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever in Hollywood alongside her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky.

The new parents sported co-ordinating outfits for the cinematic event, with the Fenty Beauty entrepreneur commanding attention in a striking sequin Rick Owens gown.

The style icon, 34, accessorised her striking bandeau number with a pair of long beige gloves and statement earrings.

Following his other half’s stylish lead, A$AP Rocky sported a structured khaki-grey shacket with matching trousers, a black T-shirt, and Rick Owens trainers.

The outing marked the couple’s first public event together since welcoming their baby boy in May and they looked happier than ever as photographers captured them kissing and cuddling.

In light of their appearance, fans took to social media in their droves to share their delight about the couple’s attendance.

One person wrote: “I’m witnessing history. They look like art. They’re too perfect!? Madame Tussauds could never.”

“Their baby is gorgeous; I just know it,” another penned.

A third added: “Style wise Rihanna and Asap Rocky go together perfectly”.

The couple were friends for more than a decade before they became romantically linked at the end of 2020.

Two years ago, the Diamonds songstress discussed her plans for motherhood during an interview with British Vogue.

She told the publication at the time: “I’ll have kids — three or four of ’em.

“I feel like society makes me want to feel like, ‘Oh, you got it wrong…’ They diminish you as a mother if there’s not a dad in your kids’ lives.

“But the only thing that matters is happiness, that’s the only healthy relationship between a parent and a child. That’s the only thing that can raise a child truly, is love.”
