We still haven’t recovered from last month’s iconic Super Bowl Halftime performance, whereby Rihanna not only treated fans to a medley of some of her biggest tracks but also revealed her pregnancy in spectacular Beyoncé-at-the-2011-MTV-VMAs-rivalling fashion – but now it seems like she will be doing it all over again at the Oscars!
The biggest movies of the year are being recognized at The #Oscars with live performances by @rihanna, @Diane_Warren & @SofiaCarson, and more! Watch Sunday at 8e/5p on ABC pic.twitter.com/4Yro8GqMv5

Rihanna To Perform ‘Lift Me Up’ At The Oscars
According to reports, the 35-year-old “Diamonds” singer has been tapped to perform her Oscar-nominated song “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever at the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday, March 12th, and fans are beside themselves with excitement!
Other performances of Oscar-nominated songs include “This Is a Life” from Everything Everywhere All At Once, “Applause” from Tell It Like a Woman and “Naatu Naatu” from RRR. Could the British Vogue March cover star top her Super Bowl performance? If it was any other artist, we would be inclined to say no, but with Rihanna, anything’s possible!

Throwback To Rihanna's Valentino Haute Couture Dress From 2022 Oscars After-Party
The thing we are most looking forward to is undoubtedly the outfit the "We Found Love" hitmaker will wear during her performance, as the dress she wore to last year's after-party is still living rent-free in our minds one whole year later! We're obsessed with the fact that she had a mini photoshoot on the night and posted the images on her Instagram account, as an outfit *that* stunning needs to be appreciated fully!
If you cast your minds back to last year, you'll remember that the "Umbrella" singer made jaws drop when she attended Jay-Z’s Oscars 2022 after-party at the Chateau Marmont in a custom black organza Valentino Haute Couture dress, featuring long sleeves, a high neck, and an all-over sequin embroidery skirt.

The sheer fabric of the dress clung perfectly to Rihanna's baby bump, as she was pregnant with baby number one at the time. As Rihanna will be pregnant with baby number two for Sunday night's performance, will she also go down the same figure-hugging sexy route, or will she tone things down and go a little more casual like she did at the Super Bowl? This is Rihanna we're talking about, so we're expecting the unexpected! Sunday night's performance can’t come soon enough!
