Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky appear to have stolen the show at the 80th annual Golden Globe Awards in California – from the audience!
The 34 year old singer, who welcomed her first child with the rapper, also 34, last year, attended the awards show on 10 January after being nominated for her first-ever Golden Globe for her song Lift Me Up from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack.
Despite missing out on the gong for Best Original Song to Naatu Naatu, Rihanna appeared to have a whale of a time talking and laughing with her fellow Hollywood A-listers.
The mum-of-one even received a shoutout from the host Jerrod Carmichael, 35, who spoke out on her upcoming ninth studio album.
"You know what? Honestly only because I see Rihanna is here, and I'm going to say something very controversial. I will actually get in trouble for this," he told the audience.
Jerrod, who took a major jibe at the Golden Globes despite being host, then urged her not to rush in getting the album out as he added: "Rihanna, you take all the time you want on that album, girl! Don't let these fools on the internet pressure you into nothing!"
Meanwhile, Niecy Nash also took to the stage, where she confessed to having dressed up as Rihanna for Halloween.
"Rihanna, I love you, and I dressed up as you for Halloween. I just had to say that. All right. Had to take my moment," Niecy, 52, said.
Following her remark, Billy Porter, 53, said that if he believed in the spooky season he would've dressed up as Rihanna, too, leaving the Fenty make up mogul in hysterics.
Fans watching the show from home were equally left in awe of Rihanna after the disappointment of her lack of red carpet moment.
Rihanna wore a black velvet off-the-shoulder dress, which had a thigh-high split and a puffed back feature, for the star-studded event. Styling her raven hair into an elaborate 'do, the star donned a statement necklace and full face of make up – no doubt from her own brand Fenty.
Meanwhile A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Meyers, wore a black suit for the event.
Taking to Twitter, one person wrote: "RIHANNA LOOKS SO GOOD," with a crying emoji. Another joked: "Rihanna can have whatever she wants because that’s my mama."
A third shared: "Rihanna needs to be professionally studied because she is so hot that she makes everyone around her look ugly…" while a fourth added: "The glow and radiance that Rihanna has is UNMATCHED. Like her beauty is unreal".
The Golden Globe Awards returned after taking a break following accusations that organisers, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, had acted unethically and had failed to increase diversity among their members.
This year, the HFPA has expanded its membership and enforced a strict code of conduct among voters. This has led many celebrities to make the decision to attend.
Comedian Jerrod is hosting the event, while nominees including Jamie Lee Curtis and Austin Butler are also in attendance.
