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…
