The stylish boys made their red carpet debut together, wearing custom Jonathan Anderson for Dior looks—miniature versions of styles recently seen on the runway in Paris. RZA wore a pink shirt with a tie and dark green cargo pants, while Riot sported an oversized tweed blazer with white shorts.

Rihanna, who is currently expecting her third child, wore a chocolate brown gown with lace trim, layered under a leather jacket.

While interviewing on the blue carpet, the “Friend of Mine” singer shared that her biggest inspiration for styling her sons comes from their dad, A$AP Rocky.

“My cheat code is I shrink Rocky’s clothes. Like what would Rocky do and just shrink it,” she said. “You always envision how you’re going to dress like girls. But then you get boys and you’re like ‘what do I do here?’ that’s not like basic. How do I have fun with this? I looked at Rocky one day, and I was like ‘That’s what I’m going to do.’”

Rihanna also opened up about voicing Smurfette in the upcoming animated/live-action reboot, calling the role “surreal.”

“It’s not a dream I even had. I never thought it would be possible, like, playing Smurfette,” she said. “As little girls, if you’re a fan of the Smurfs, you always wanted to be Smurfette. So having the opportunity to play her and bring my own thing to the character—it’s a big deal, a lot of pressure, and super, super exciting.”

As for baby number three, Rihanna told Entertainment Tonight’s Kevin Frazier that she does know the sex of her baby, but she’s keeping it quiet for now.

“A few people know,” she said. “But [there was] nothing spectacular, no production. Just a slip-up here and there, I guess. Don’t try to catch me now.”

Smurfs hits theaters July 18.
