Rihanna flaunting her baby bump with her character, Smurfette
Pop icon, fashion mogul, and music royalty — Rihanna can now add “blue legend” to her ever-growing list of titles. The singer is all set to reprise her role as Smurfette in the upcoming animated feature Smurfs, releasing in India on July 18, 2025, in both English and Hindi. And if fan buzz is anything to go by, this is one comeback the world is ready for.
Rihanna first stepped into the blue heels of Smurfette in Paramount Animation’s upcoming reimagining of The Smurfs franchise, announced at CinemaCon in 2023. Not only did she lend her voice to the character, but she also contributed original music to the film and serves as a producer — proving once again that anything she touches turns into a cultural moment.
With her fierce vocals, magnetic personality, and ability to bring emotional depth to even the most animated of characters, Rihanna’s Smurfette is anything but generic. She brings a bold, modern take to the iconic character, blending sass, strength, and sensitivity in a way only she can.
So ahead of the film’s highly anticipated release, let’s revisit five standout moments from previous Smurfs films that showed Rihanna’s Smurfette wasn’t just another blue face in the crowd — she was the heart, soul, and high heels of the Smurf Village.
1. I may be small, but I am Smurf enough (The Smurfs: The Legend of Smurfy Hollow - 2013)
Rihanna delivers this iconic line with effortless swagger and subtle warmth. What could’ve been a cute catchphrase becomes a quiet declaration of power — a signature Riri move. It’s not just about size; it’s about presence, and hers fills the screen.
2. You think you can control me? Please (The Smurfs 2 - 2013)
In one sentence, Rihanna flips the script on the classic damsel trope. Her tone is sharp, unbothered, and deliciously defiant — a moment that audiences cheered in theaters. It’s peak Rihanna: confident, playful, and absolutely in control.
3. There's nothing wrong with being different (Smurfs: The Lost Village - 2017)
Delivered with genuine vulnerability, this line becomes a soft but steady anthem in the film. Rihanna avoids melodrama and instead speaks directly from the heart — the kind of performance that gives a kids’ movie a lasting emotional anchor.
4. You don't get to tell me who I am (Smurfs: The Lost Village - 2017)
This emotionally charged line lands with raw authenticity. Rihanna's voice doesn't just push back - it claims space. It's a pivotal character moment where Smurfette asserts her identity on her own terms, and Riri delivers it with spine and soul.
5. Let’s go save our people — and look good doing it (Smurfs: The Lost Village - 2017)
Part rally cry, part fashion flex, Rihanna nails this moment with perfect comedic timing and boss-level confidence. It’s playful and powerful — a reminder that saving the day and slaying the look are not mutually exclusive.
