Rihanna gave her followers a first look at her lingerie brand Savage X Fenty's latest collaboration with the upcoming Smurfs film, in which she will be the voice of Smurfette.

On Monday, the singer, 36, modeled multiple pieces from the collection, $13.18 scoop-neck bralette, $6 boy short underwear and light blue sweatpants, which retail for $35.98.

In other images, she slipped on a zip-up hoodie and struck various sexy poses while sitting on the floor as she seductively stared into the camera lens.

For the photo shoot, she styled her dark black hair in pigtails and rocked a bright blue eyeshadow and matching sneakers.

'We’re team Smurfette in this house,' Savage X Fenty captioned the post. 'The cutest collab you didn’t know you NEEDED. ✨ Shop the new Savage X Smurfs collection on the site now.'  

Over the past week, Rihanna has been busy supporting her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, 36, whom she shares sons RZA, two, and Riot, one, amid his ongoing felony assault trial

Thursday marked her fourth appearance at a Los Angeles courthouse, where she has reportedly attempted to keep a low profile during the proceedings. 

A$AP, real name Rakim Athelaston Mayers, is on trial for allegedly shooting his former friend A$AP Relli in 2021.

The New York-bred rapper is being charged with two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic weapon, and he has pleaded not guilty.

Rihanna has allegedly been seated alongside Mayers' mother and sister in the front row of the courtroom, with several security guards around them, throughout the trial.

She has stuck beside Rakim since his initial arrest in April 2022, which happened when the pair were returning to LAX after a vacation in Barbados.

Prosecutors allege that on November 6, 2021, Mayers pointed a gun at his former friend during a confrontation, shooting at him and leaving him with minor injuries.

A$AP Relli, real name Terell Ephron, testified against Mayers at an earlier hearing, claiming that he held a gun to his stomach and threatened, 'I'll kill you right now,' before firing at least four shots.

It is alleged that one of the shots hit Ephron's hand, and that he reported the shooting the following day.

Two 9mm shell casings were recovered by Ephron after he returned to the scene of the alleged shooting, however police say the weapon Mayers allegedly fired was never found.

Earlier this month A$AP Rocky 'respectfully declined' a plea deal that would have seen him serve just six months in jail alongside a seven-year suspended sentence and three years of probation.

Ephron was a former friend and collaborator of Mayers. The pair struck up a friendship as teenagers while attending high school in New York.

They were members of the A$AP collective, a group of students who made music and created art together. A$AP Mob, which stands for 'Always Strive And Prosper,' was established in 2005, with Rocky joining in 2007.

Ephron said their friendship continued as Mayers' fame grew, but began to decline when the D.M.B. music artist started backing out of business deals.

At pre-trial hearings in November, Mayers' attorneys attempted to spare him a trial, arguing that surveillance video of the rapper holding a gun should not be permissible as evidence.

Prosecutors claim the video showed Mayers firing the weapon, which the rapper's attorneys denied.

Detective Frank Flores of the Los Angeles Police Department testified at an earlier hearing that footage showed a gun in the rapper's hand, but when pressed by the defense, he conceded a weapon was never recovered.
