It came as no surprise that Belgium rolled out the blue carpet Saturday for Rihanna, Shenseea and other stars who turned out for the world premiere of the new Smurf movie.

Belgian comics artist Peyo created the Smurfs — known here as ‘Schtroumpfs’ — and the Belgian capital embraced the premiere with a weekend of events.

Rihanna, who showed off her pregnancy style in Chanel, produced Smurfs and voices Smurfette in the summer family film, a live-action animated reboot that takes the little creatures on a Smurfette-led rescue mission to save Papa Smurf.

The Bajan star is also on the official soundtrack for the movie, which includes Shenseea’s It’s My Party and Tyla.
