Rihanna stuns as she makes red carpet return following the birth of her first child

Rihanna is back on the red carpet scene with a bang following the birth of her baby boy five months ago.

RiRi, 34, and beau A$AP Rocky, also 34, looked stunning as they posed for pics at the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever premiere on Wednesday.

Their appearance comes shortly after the Umbrella songstress announced she was releasing her first music in six years, teasing her new song called Lift Me Up for the Black Panther sequel.

She showed off her amazing postpartum figure as she donned a beautiful figure-hugging sequinned gown with gloves up to her biceps.

Rihanna wore her curled tresses over her shoulder and showcased her flawless makeup, together with plum shade lipstick.

Her man coordinated with her as he opted for an oversized light grey jacket, matching pants and a black shirt. He finished the look off with a pair of gleaming white trainers.

The pair clearly enjoyed the occasion in the spotlight – a rarity of late – as they cuddled up and shared a peck while smiling throughout.

She teased her new tune on social media earlier in the day by posting a short video clip and explaining it's set to be released on Friday. Fans were loving the announcement, with many sharing excited gifs in the comments section.

One fan on Twitter also wrote: "I can’t believe my eyes rihanna is actually not playing games this time," [sic] while another gushed: "I thought i’d never see the day." [sic]

According to Variety, the sure-to-be-a-hit tune is "a tribute to the life and legacy of the late Chadwick Boseman". It's said to have been written by Tems, Ludwig Göransson, Rihanna and the movie's director Ryan Coogler.

The actor, who played the superhero int first movie instalment, died in 2020 aged just 43 after he had secretly battled colon cancer for four years.

Tems told the publication: "After speaking with Ryan and hearing his direction for the film and the song, I wanted to write something that portrays a warm embrace from all the people that I’ve lost in my life.

"I tried to imagine what it would feel like if I could sing to them now and express how much I miss them. Rihanna has been an inspiration to me so hearing her convey this song is a great honour."
