Robyn Rihanna Fenty is starring in Paramount Animation’s new Smurfs movie. The film is debuting only in theatres on July 18 of this year.
The 2025 family-friendly film debuting this summer is a live-action animated reboot that explores the philosophical question of, “What is a Smurf?”
Rihanna is not only contributing original music to the soundtrack but also producing the film and starring as Smurfette, the quintessential “IT” girl of the Smurf Universe.
The Smurfs were created in 1958 by Belgian comic artist Pierre “Payo” Culliford.
Smurfette was the first and ONLY GIRL in the Smurf universe from 1966 to 1981.
And while the role of Smurfette is a relatively recent development for the Plenipotentiary for Barbados, I’d like to TALK THAT TALK and state for the record that Rihanna’s been SMURFING for the past decade.
Let’s PON DE REPLAY on some of Rihanna’s most true-blue looks. Shall we?

WATCH N LEARN as Rihanna stuns during Paris Fashion Week while wearing Stella McCartney Spring 2022 Pool Blue Cut Out Catsuit.
You may recall this image because it was referenced in Chioma Nnadi’s article for Oh, Baby! Rihanna's Plus One for Vogue’s April 2022 cover.
Observes quote, “She’s curled up on the banquette in an oversized khaki parka with a slinky turquoise catsuit beneath, a look I recognize from Stella McCartney’s last show. Her shoe of choice? A four-inch stiletto heel. Like all the best moments in her style repertoire, the outfit is a study in opposites—sexy, cool, sophisticated—and worn with her characteristic ease.”
Chioma got it right, and as usual, Rihanna fails to get it wrong.
