She’s giving us a masterclass in experimental dressing with a baby bump.
It doesn’t take a fashion expert to note that Rihanna’s maternity style is one of a kind.
While fashion for pregnant celebrities might typically invoke body-con fits (à la Kylie Jenner) or flowing babydoll dresses (Sophie Turner wore some enviable ones), the Fenty mogul is striking out a sartorial approach of her own. Dressing around (or, as seems to be the case for RiRi, for) a baby bump has never looked more fun.
Now, with Rihanna’s announcement that she’s expecting her second child (she revealed her baby bump during her historic 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show), we’re revving up to track each outfit from the singer’s second pregnancy.
RiRi changed the game with her first pregnancy announcement photo shoot with baby daddy A$AP Rocky, for which she wore a vintage hot pink Chanel puffer coat, complete with floor-grazing jeans and multicolored bejeweled gold chains that draped over her bare stomach.
“[Pregnancy’s] a long nine to 10 months. You have to enjoy it,” Rihanna previously told Entertainment Tonight during her first pregnancy. “Fashion is one of my favorite things, so, you know, we’re defying what it even means to be pregnant and maternal. It can get uncomfortable at times and so you can dress the part and pretend.”
Of her pregnancy in general, she added, “It’s all an exciting journey so far. I’m just taking it as it comes every week. There’s always something new and I’m just taking it and I’m enjoying it.”
