A$AP Rocky and Rihanna share a sweet moment under an umbrella at the Cannes film festivalGetty Images
Rihanna and Rocky have been in Cannes for the film festival, supporting the premiere of Rocky’s new movie, Highest 2 Lowest. Despite rainy weather, the couple posed under an umbrella on the red carpet, with Rocky affectionately cradling Rihanna’s belly. For the premiere, Rihanna chose a flowing electric-blue halter dress with cut-outs that complemented her maternity glow. The look was finished with delicate jewellery and a matching clutch.
The couple is already parents to two sons, RZA, 3, and Riot, 1. Although Rihanna hasn’t revealed the gender of their third child, fans are speculating she might be expecting twins. Rocky recently hinted on Late Night with Seth Meyers that their new baby’s name will follow their tradition of starting with the letter “R.”

Rocky also spoke openly about sharing their pregnancy news, expressing relief and happiness after keeping it private for so long. Their appearance at Cannes marks Rihanna’s first red carpet there since 2017.
With the upcoming release of Highest 2 Lowest this August, where Rocky stars alongside Denzel Washington, the couple is balancing their personal joy with professional milestones.
At Cannes Vidya opened up about her ambition to explore roles across bordersGetty Images
Vidya’s also interested in bringing out her lighter side. “I’d love to do comedy,” she said, adding that Kate Winslet’s offbeat dictator in The Regime struck a chord with her. She also applauded Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon for the choices they’ve made in their careers, especially choosing roles that balance vulnerability, complexity, and wit.
What Vidya craves, whether in India or abroad, are roles with layers. She’s frustrated by the way female characters in mainstream Hindi films often feel flat. “They lack depth,” she said, which makes them less human and harder to connect with. That’s why she’s proud of projects like Paa, Shakuntala Devi, and Tumhari Sulu, films that gave her space to explore women who weren’t just sidekicks or stereotypes.

Though she’s won awards and earned box office success, Vidya believes Indian cinema still has a long way to go in treating women’s stories as commercially viable. And with streaming reshaping the rules of the game, she sees a chance for reinvention, not just for herself, but for the entire industry.
She’s ready to take risks again. And this time, the world is her stage.

Online conversations quickly picked up, with fans pointing out the subtle similarity. Some even dug out old photos of Sridevi wearing a similar dupatta-draped look, sparking comparisons. Though neither Tahiliani nor stylist Rhea Kapoor confirmed the outfit as a tribute, many felt the influence was unmistakable.
Sridevi was known for bringing together traditional aesthetics with a modern style. Whether on-screen or at global events, she never shied away from Indian fabrics and silhouettes. Janhvi’s Cannes outfit seemed to carry that same energy, classic in structure but styled for an international stage, with pearl jewellery completing the look.

While Janhvi turned heads on the red carpet, her co-star Vishal Jethwa had his own emotional moment. He shared that attending Cannes with his mother was a dream come true. In an Instagram post, he wrote about his childhood wish to fly abroad with her. “More than attending Cannes, the real joy is that I’m here with my mum,” he said. His gratitude extended to everyone who supported him, from family to spot boys on set, ending his message with “Jai Hind.”
Homebound, selected for the Un Certain Regard category, explores the journey of two friends from a North Indian village who become police officers. Backed by a powerhouse team including Karan Johar and executive producer Martin Scorsese, the film has already sparked interest.
This year’s Indian presence at Cannes was full of heartfelt moments, and Janhvi’s quiet tribute was truly one of them.
Blanco and Backgrid argue that Lopez used the images to promote herself and boost her brand presence, without securing permission or paying for the content. They claim the photos helped her highlight the designers she wore and tie her look to ongoing brand partnerships. In their view, this isn’t just a case of a celebrity sharing a flattering photo, it’s a commercial move with financial value.
They’re now suing for up to £112,000 (₹1,17,60,000) per image.
JLo faces fresh legal trouble for reposting paparazzi images on social media Getty Images
It’s worth noting that just because someone appears in a photo doesn’t mean they own it. Under copyright law, ownership typically belongs to the photographer or their employer. This means celebrities must ask for permission or pay a fee if they want to post professional paparazzi photos, even if they’re the subject.
According to the legal documents, Lopez’s team was contacted and even agreed to a settlement after the pictures were posted. But reportedly, no paperwork was signed and no payment has been made.
Copyright clash erupts over images JLo posted to promote her red carpet styleGetty Images
This isn’t her first run-in with such issues. Lopez has been sued in the past in 2019 and 2020 for similar situations involving unlicensed photo sharing. And she’s not alone. Celebs like Dua Lipa, Gigi Hadid, and Khloé Kardashian have all been hit with similar copyright complaints.
While fans may think reposting a photo of themselves is harmless, the lawsuit is a reminder of the complex rules around image rights in the entertainment industry. Even global stars like JLo can land in hot water for hitting “post” without checking the fine print.
