Fans in south London were shocked and delighted after Rihanna was spotted alongside partner A$AP Rocky in a local barber shop on Friday night.
The Hollywood power couple made an unexpected appearance at the shop in Anerley Hill, Crystal Palace, before being mobbed by fans.
Videos circulated on social media show hundreds of screaming fans outside the shop as the singer dressed in sunglasses and a dark top filmed the reaction from within.
Other videos showed the rapper getting a haircut while the Umbrella singer, 34, watched in the background.
One bystander said the pair had been driving up Anerley Hill when the rapper, real name Rakim Mayers, 33, stopped the car to enter the shop where music was playing.
“Everyone saw A$AP come out first and then probably like 30 seconds later he went back to the car to bring out Rihanna,” he told the PA news agency.
“Then everyone noticed and it went hectic.”
It comes after the rapper headlined the Friday slot at the Wireless festival which is taking place in Crystal Palace park from July 1 to July 3.
Rihanna and A$AP welcomed their first child together in May.
The couple’s trip to London may be their first trip abroad since the birth of their child – whose name is yet to be revealed by the celebrity pair.
A week after giving birth, Rihanna was spotted on a brief trip out the house in West Hollywood, but has largely kept a low profile since giving birth.
Also in London at the same time as them is Rihanna’s ex Chris Brown, who is also headlining Wireless.
Chris and Rihanna became romantically involved in 2007, but their relationship came to a dramatic close after the Forever singer assaulted his then-girlfriend in 2009.
After their split, the two singers briefly reconciled in 2012.
Despite their turbulent past, Chris was one of many celebs to congratulate Rihanna on the birth of her son – much to Rihanna’s fans' dislike.
Writing over an orange background, Chris said: "Congratulations," alongside a praying hands emoji, a red heart emoji and a pregnant woman emoji.
Chris' message sparked fury amongst Rihanna's fans as they flocked to Twitter to slam the star on his actions. "Chris Brown subliminally telling Rihanna congratulations on IG is top tier toxicity," one person wrote.
Another said: "Chris Brown has absolutely no business congratulating our Queen Riri on her baby’s birth," as a third shared: "The problem with Chris Brown “congratulating” Rih is that he’s NEVER shown that energy with his own children’s mothers."
Not everyone was of the same opinion though as one said: "I don't see anything bad with @ChrisBrown to congratulate @rihanna for their 1st born with @AsapRocky!!"
