Leave it to Rihanna to make pregnancy the most fashionable headline of the year—not once, but twice. For most people, baby announcements come with a cute Instagram post or a gender reveal balloon. But Rihanna? She does it in front of millions, with couture and cameras flashing.
Her first foray into maternity slayage came in January 2022, when she and A$AP Rocky casually took a stroll through Harlem. But it wasn’t just any stroll—it was a full-on pregnancy debut. With her baby bump draped in a vintage hot pink Chanel puffer and layered jewelry cascading over her bare belly, Rihanna gave us “bump, but make it fashion.” Paparazzi photos from that walk practically froze the internet. The world hadn't seen a pregnancy announcement that iconic since Beyoncé's floral photo op.
Then came Round 2. For her second pregnancy, Rihanna upped the ante and made history (again)—this time on the biggest stage in the world: the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show. Dressed in an all-red custom Loewe jumpsuit and a breastplate that practically shouted “I’m that girl,” Rih subtly rubbed her belly mid-performance, sending the internet into a collective meltdown. She didn’t say a word, but the message was clear: Baby No. 2 was on the way, and yes, Mama was booked and still unbothered.
Fast-forward to May 2025, and yes—you guessed it—Rihanna’s pregnant again, debuting bump number three at this year’s Met Gala like only she could. This time, she embraced the gala's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," with a striking ensemble that paid homage to Black dandyism. Rihanna arrived fashionably late in a custom Marc Jacobs creation: a pinstriped suit transformed into a maxi dress, paired with a cropped blazer, separate collar and tie, and a wide-brimmed hat. The tailored look not only showcased her impeccable style but also highlighted her growing baby bump, making a powerful statement on the red carpet.
With RZA and Riot Rose already holding down big-brother duties, Rihanna’s third pregnancy reveal once again proved that no one makes motherhood look this cool, calculated, and couture. While the rest of us are sending texts and ultrasound pics, Rihanna is using red carpets and runway-ready looks.
She doesn’t just announce pregnancies—she redefines the entire concept, turning each one into a cultural reset. And with every reveal, the bar gets higher. The question now isn’t what will Rihanna wear next, but how will she break the internet again?
