She flashed her toned tummy in a cropped T-shirt, teamed with a mucky maxi skirt and a Dior handbag.

A$AP Rocky appeared on stage during Doja Cat’s performance on Day 3 of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio.

The annual Festival officially kicked off its first weekend on Friday, April 12 and will come to an end on Sunday, April 14. Weekend two will then begin on April 19 and conclude on Sunday, April 21.

The 23rd Coachella Festival will take place at the Empire Polo Club located in Indio, California – which is around 23 miles away from the city of Palm Springs.

Fans will be able to livestream the festival on YouTube beginning at 4pm (PST) on April 12.

In between sets and when music artists are not on the stage, viewers will have the chance to watch replays of performances, as well as exclusive coverage and behind-the-scenes moments.

The headliners for this year’s festivities include Lana Del Rey, Tyler the Creator, Doja Cat and also No Doubt.

Rihanna’s outing comes just after it was revealed that she has ‘a lot of visual ideas’ for a new album.

Fans have been patiently awaiting for her ninth studio LP for eight years following the singer’s last album, Anti, which was released in January 2016 .

However, it seems the wait is set to go on as the mother-of-two has said that so far she is having a lot of creative ideas but no songs to go with them yet.

Speaking to Interview Magazine , she said: ‘I have a lot of visual ideas. It’s weird. My brain is working backward right now.

‘I usually have the music first, and the music leads me into all of these visual opportunities, and now I’m having all of these visuals, and I don’t have the songs for them yet, but maybe that’s the key, this time,’ added the pinup.

‘Maybe the visual ideas are leading me to the songs that I need to make,’ noted the cover girl.

Asked further about the inspiration behind her new tracks, she said: ‘Random ideas, quirky ideas, things that have nothing to do with me at all.

‘I mean, I can’t tell you. The opps is watching.’

Soon before the actress also revealed she’s excited ‘for what is to come’ claiming that the album that will be released next will be something of a rebirth.

Rihanna told Complex: ‘I’m in an era of discovery. And maybe it’s rediscovery because so much is changing, and some things are fleeting. And some things are yet to be discovered, right? And I’m in the centre of all of that.

‘So I’m not on a landing yet, but I’m excited for what is to come because I have the feeling of what it is.

‘But I can’t put it into words, and I know the journey is going to be exciting of getting there. And that’s not just with fashion or my daily routine … with music, all of it! I’m really excited to explore things right now.’

Rihanna and A$AP were first confirmed to be dating in November 2020 after previously collaborating together and being spotted at events – such as Paris Fashion Week back in 2018.

At the time, a source told Entertainment Tonight , ‘They have always had amazing chemistry, and Rihanna relates to A$AP, and it [their relationship] feels natural, easy and fun.’

‘She feels very comfortable around him since they’ve known each other for such a long time and also feels a connection to him because his dad is from Barbados.’

A few years later, the lovebirds welcomed their first child, a son named RZA Athelaston Mayers, in May 2022.

Their second son named Riot Rose Mayers was born in August 2023 – after the singer announced the pregnancy during her Super Bowl Halftime performance earlier that same year.
