Hot Shots: Rihanna Rocks ‘Ocean’s 8’ World Premiere

Published: Wednesday 6th Jun 2018 by Sam

Rihanna is ready for a movie moment.

This week brings with it the Stateside release of ‘Ocean’s 8,’ which RiRi stars in alongside Kate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Helena Bonham Carter, and Awkwafina.

To celebrate its arrival, the cast assembled in New York for an elaborate premiere event.

All eyes were on the Bajan belle, who has been interestingly quite low-profile in recent months (sans the promotion for her many entrepreneurial ventures such as Fenty Beauty).

Word on the curb is that the star is hard at work on two new albums, which may explain her relative downtime.

Still, with Ocean’s set to swim into theaters on June 8th, some are wondering whether it also dubs as the official start of Rih season?

As we await the answer, peep more from last night’s premiere below…

Your thoughts?

    Summer is here. Where is the HOT Rihanna joint we all waiting for. The Music scene is so corny right now. Come thru Princess……………. Cuz SZA running around singing off key and claiming her pipe damaged–what pipes, Cardi about to give birth, Beyonce focused on touring, Mariah focused on her Xmas coins, Brandy can’t find her way…..Keyshia cole forgot her first 2 cd’s were classics and forgot Ron Farr’s number…..bleak

    • Jasmine Da Bi Asian NOT Trashmine or TROLLmine??‍♀️??‍♀️ June 6, 2018

      You’re saying off key and SZA like rihanna has the juice live. At 13 years in the game she is still one of the driest, most boring and pitchy live performers ever and known for THAT. SZA is new and better than rihanna was at her debut. Stop acting like rihanna slays live- SHE doesn’t.

        Hun check out her live in Manchester Good Girl Gone bad tour she vocally slayed that stage and had so much presence!

      • Datredd23 June 6, 2018

        Or any of her aol sessions or covers of redemption song all available on YouTube! Your being a hater hunny! The world identifies talent with Rihanna who cares about Stan Twitter lol

      • Jasmine Da Bi Asian NOT Trashmine or TROLLmine??‍♀️??‍♀️ June 6, 2018

        Hun she is an extremely underwhelming performer known for her lack of live ability. I’m aware of her live act- not impressive.

      • Datredd23 June 6, 2018

        Sza just started in this game she shouldn’t be that tired and vocally injured already you kind of contradicted yourself hun

      • Jasmine Da Bi Asian NOT Trashmine or TROLLmine??‍♀️??‍♀️ June 6, 2018

        Pitchy, stiff, lifeless, boring, forgettable, bored, “where’s beyonce”, “why hasn’t she gotten better?” Are all phrases and words associated with Rihanna’s live act. Only to her stans is She any type of good live, she is horrible live. For her caliber of popularity she’s easily one of the worst in history.

      • Jasmine Da Bi Asian NOT Trashmine or TROLLmine??‍♀️??‍♀️ June 6, 2018

        And rihannas been in the game 13 and she’s only a tad bit better than she was when she first came out. SZA’s vocals issues are a totally different issue than Rihanna’s lack of seriousness for her vocals

      • Datredd23 June 6, 2018

        Rihanna has given amazing performances around the world sold out stadiums and has beautiful and unique vocals! There going to talk wether your doing bad or good anyways so your opion is quite void at this point if she not your cup of tea so be it but the general public disagrees and that’s just not her stans hunny

      • Jasmine Da Bi Asian NOT Trashmine or TROLLmine??‍♀️??‍♀️ June 6, 2018

        I’m not questioning Rihanna’s popularity, that chick is popular and doing her thing. We are talking about her singing ability which no vocalists co-sign. Maybe a rapper or a stan or non singer … there’s a reason why rihanna got vocally slayed by a dude on American idol , I think it was, Italy. She’s just not a good live performer

      • Datredd23 June 6, 2018

        Um actually just off the top of my head Céline Dion Mary j Blige and Toni Braxton have all praised her vocals so please sit lol

      • Jasmine Da Bi Asian NOT Trashmine or TROLLmine??‍♀️??‍♀️ June 6, 2018

        Maybe her swag or some of her music(which image has some good songs) but not her live performing. Nobody praises her live performing because it’s a true struggle. Just stop it.

      • Datredd23 June 6, 2018

        Like I said they have all praised her VOCALS it’s an easy lookup if your that pressed

    • Faf June 6, 2018

      Y’all forget while y’all dragging sza She writes for and still sings better than rihanna with damage

      • Datredd23 June 6, 2018

        No way I’d take any performance of Love on the Brain by Queen Rih over anything Sza has done vocally live

  2. Jacob June 6, 2018

    Rihanna is slowly sliding off my radar far as best dressed, jol is taking her crown

  3. arjun June 6, 2018

    Im sorry i like some of her fashion choice but this not
    She want to make people think she assume her weight.buther fashion choice say other think
    This dress its so big for her dnt come with me its fashion or couture or other lies
    This dress its a no no no and no

  4. Meme June 6, 2018

    Those who understand fashion understand that there are so much more that goes into it than just selecting a pretty dress. Age appropriate, body and shape, event appropriate and also personal esthetic are all things to consider and for me Rihanna gets it right every time. She never fails.

    • Jasmine Da Bi Asian NOT Trashmine or TROLLmine??‍♀️??‍♀️ June 6, 2018

      I understand fashion and this is not it. Thi type of dress and it’s fullness are for rihanna 5 years ago when she was slim. Her new fuller figure makes this look NOT flattering for her because it makes her look much bigger than it actually is. This is a dress for a skinny girl not for Rihanna’s body type which is why she looks like a sea coral instead of a slay. She has to be more careful with her fuller figure

    • Well well… June 6, 2018

      Girl sit. The only thing going into selecting her dresses these days is her weight. That’s it. As soon as she put on the weight, her sense of style immediately declined. Her dresses and all her outfits really, now all have the same silhouette so they cover her mid section and let’s not forget that one valerian premiere ensemble where she’s sucking it in for the gawds.

  5. Section8DaGreat June 6, 2018

    She can do no wrong in my eyes so issa YES!

  6. Datredd23 June 6, 2018

    Slayed as usual received the biggest applauses and attention of the night! Her power is undeniable top 3 female in the game right now based off star power alone !

  7. Jasmine Da Bi Asian NOT Trashmine or TROLLmine??‍♀️??‍♀️ June 6, 2018

    If loud era rihanna wore this dress it would work, but full figure rihanna is only making herself look bigger than she is, this is not a flattering dress for new rihanna

    • Datredd23 June 6, 2018

      Your ideology of how this woman should look and what she can wear on her body is all kinds of messed up wonder what you look like smh

      • Jasmine Da Bi Asian NOT Trashmine or TROLLmine??‍♀️??‍♀️ June 6, 2018

        No honey, it’s the foundation of fashion. If you go to ANYatore, boutique, stylist, fashion school or any type of thing that’s has to deal with proper FIT this foundation statement always stands. Not my fault you don’t know

  8. SuxMyCockiness =o June 6, 2018

    The girls are mad because Rihanna is making her triumphant return ??? Seethe… I love every minute of it ?
