Rihanna, never one to miss a sartorial beat (or a movie premiere), unveiled a breathtaking haute couture moment at ‘The Smurfs’ movie premiere in Brussels on June 28, 2025, in a look affectionately dubbed “Smurfette chic.”
The fashion-forward mogul, embracing her role as the voice of Smurfette, attended the Belgian premiere alongside A$AP Rocky in a truly exquisite ensemble that felt both whimsical and utterly luxurious. Her choice was a custom look from a French house (unconfirmed at press time, but heavily inspired by Chanel Haute Couture’s Spring 2003 collection)—a celadon green silk chiffon top and skirt. The sheer fabric was a canvas of meticulous craftsmanship, embroidered with crystals, porcelain sequins, and delicate feathers; a true atelier marvel, reportedly taking 840 hours to create. The flowing, layered silhouette of the skirt and the ethereal quality of the top, with its delicate straps and subtle floral detailing, created a dreamlike aura.
The original Chanel collection it referenced was lauded by Vogue’s Sarah Mower for its “daintiness” and “femininity,” sentiments that Rihanna perfectly encapsulated. Her luminous complexion and understated makeup allowed the intricate details of the gown to shine, while her natural, wavy hair added a touch of approachable glamour to the high-fashion moment. Standing alongside a life-sized Smurfette, the visual synergy was undeniable. This appearance caps off a whirlwind European style tour for Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, showcasing their collective fashion prowess from Dior’s menswear debut to Rocky’s own AWGE collection.
