Rihanna Hits the 2023 Academy Awards Red Carpet in Alaïa
Rihanna continues to live up to her trendsetter reputation on the 2023 Oscars red carpet.
Everyone calm down, Rihanna has arrived at the 2023 Oscars red carpet. Fresh from her out-of-this-world 2023 Super Bowl halftime performance, the singer isn't letting anyone stop her music as she is set to perform "Lift Me Up" from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on the Academy Awards stage. But first, let's look at her fashion. The Fenty Beauty mogul appeared on the carpet in a dark brown leather Alaïa dress while proudly showing off her baby bump. The chic dress adds a sense of sultry with its side cutouts and mesh underlay. Her bold red lip, high bun, and Moussaieff jewelry add that final touch of perfection.
The "Lift Me Up" ballad—that was co-written by Rihanna, Tems, Ryan Coogler, and Ludwig Goransson—is up for nomination for Best Music (Original Song). This marks Rihanna's first Oscar nomination, with other nominees in the category including "Hold My Hand" from Top Gun: Maverick, "This Is A Life" from Everything Everywhere All at Once, "Applause" from Tell It Like A Woman, and "Naatu Naatu" from RRR.
It's already been a big year for the performer as she revealed she is pregnant with her second child during her halftime performance, returned to the big stage since her last live performance in seven years, and announced the return of Fenty x Puma—is there anything she can't do?
