Belgium rolled out the blue carpet Saturday (June 28) for Rihanna and other stars who turned out for the world premiere of the new Smurfs movie.
Rihanna produced Smurfs and voices Smurfette in the summer family film, a live-action animated reboot that takes the little creatures on a Smurfette-led rescue mission to save Papa Smurf.

Belgian comics artist Peyo created the Smurfs — known in Belgium as "Schtroumpfs" — and the city of Brussels embraced the premiere with a weekend of events.
It took place in central Brussels, not far from a Smurfs museum. The city’s famed Mannekin Pis statue was dressed for the occasion as No Name Smurf. The city’s Grand-Place held Smurf-themed events all weekend, and tourist buses and train cars were decorated in blue.
Rihanna announced her pregnancy in early May, just ahead of the 2025 Met Gala, where she debuted her baby bump in a menswear-inspired look as part of the night’s “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme. A$AP Rocky, with whom Rihanna is expecting her third child, served as co-chair of this year’s Met Gala, alongside Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo and Lewis Hamilton, while LeBron James served as honorary chair.
Rihanna and Rocky are parents to 3-year-old RZA Athelston Mayers and 1-year-old Riot Rose Mayers.
