Rihanna’s £700k Cannes Look Fuels Gender Reveal Theories
Everybody’s speculating over Rihanna’s bold Cannes look
When it comes to impeccably dressed couples, few can rival A$AP Rocky and Rihanna – and they’ve certainly been turning heads at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Rihanna revealed her third pregnancy at the 2025 Met Gala, and since then, one of her standout looks at Cannes has fuelled growing speculation about the baby’s gender.
Supporting her partner at the premiere of his new film ‘Highest 2 Lowest’ on Monday night, the superstar stunned in a vibrant blue ruffled dress, complimented by an array of aquamarine jewellery. While some fans believe the look may be a subtle gender reveal, others speculate it could be a playful nod to her upcoming role as Smurfette in ‘The Smurfs’ movie.
One thing’s for certain – her aquamarines were stunning. Fine jewellery experts at UK retailer Steven Stone have taken a closer look at the pieces, revealing with YCB everything there is to know.
“Rihanna’s aquamarine jewellery at Cannes was truly show-stopping. She adorned her ears with the Rosier Pendant Earrings from Boucheron’s Histoire de Style, Untamed Nature High Jewellery Collection. Crafted in white gold, each earring features a 4.10-carat flawless pear-cut diamond, pavé-set with additional diamonds for added sparkle. I’d estimate them to be worth £250,000.
Rihanna also wore the Hopi Hummingbird Ring, which features a 40-carat aquamarine, surrounded by 351 diamonds and 30 blue sapphires. The hummingbird motif symbolizes joy, beauty, and delicate power, perfectly reflecting the exciting journey ahead for both her and A$AP Rocky. Based on aquamarine stones that we’ve sold in the past, I’d estimate it to be worth £350,000.
Rihanna’s Vendôme Liseré solitaire ring also showcases a striking aquamarine, this time a 13.07-carat emerald-cut stone, elegantly framed by a row of 42 round-cut diamonds that total 1.03 carats. Crafted in 18-carat white gold, the design is enhanced by a sleek black trim. We’d estimate it to be worth £100,000.
With the striking blue tones of the aquamarine, the jewellery might be more than just a fashion statement. Traditionally, blue has been associated with masculinity, which has led some fans to speculate that it could be a subtle gender reveal for a baby boy. However, given that Rihanna also has a major role in the upcoming Smurfs film, it’s just as possible that the blue hues are a playful nod to her character in the animated film.”
