Rihanna has long mastered the art of turning heads, and her appearance at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival proved no different. Dressed in a show-stopping blue gown that shimmered against the Riviera backdrop, the music and fashion icon once again became the center of speculation—not just for her style, but for what many believe she might be hinting at.
Currently expecting her third child with partner A$AP Rocky, Rihanna graced the red carpet in a flowing turquoise silk georgette halter dress by Alaïa, crafted by creative director Pieter Mulier. The design beautifully accentuated her growing baby bump and was paired with sparkling Boucheron jewelry, a soft blue clutch, and matching heels. The entire look was elegant, radiant, and—according to her fans—possibly revealing.
The pregnancy itself was first confirmed in true Rihanna fashion: on the red carpet of the 2025 Met Gala. There, she stunned in a dramatic custom Marc Jacobs outfit that proudly showcased her belly, making headlines around the globe.
But it was this latest look at Cannes that sparked a new wave of fan theories. The deep blue palette of her ensemble had social media buzzing with one question: Is Rihanna subtly revealing the gender of baby number three?
Speculation erupted across platforms. “Is the blue she’s wearing for another boy??” wondered one Facebook commenter. Others seemed more certain. “It’s another baby boy,” one user confidently posted, while another chimed in, “That must mean she’s still hoping for a girl next.” The guesses continued: “Another boy???” and “She’s saying it’s a boy?” flooded fan pages and comment sections alike.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are already proud parents to two sons—RZA and Riot. While the couple has remained tight-lipped about the gender of their third child, the blue gown has certainly added intrigue. In the past, Rihanna has expressed her dream of having a daughter, making the conversation even more layered.
Whether the dress was a subtle clue or simply another bold fashion statement from the queen of red-carpet reinvention, one thing is clear: Rihanna knows how to keep the world watching and wondering.
