Rihanna’s Pregnancy Looks Are a Gift to Us All

This press conference was three days before the Super Bowl, and in hindsight it’s clear that she’s covering her bump with that luxe leather jacket, but you know she’d wear this exact look tomorrow, complete with the lace-up heels.

Rih amped up her monochrome Super Bowl look with diamonds galore and a red-hot molded bustier. And for the finale, she added a gigantic puffer coat.

She wore a semi-sheer, bondage-inspired Alaïa gown on the Oscars red carpet, complete with hip slits. Mother??

For her performance of “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Rih changed into a the most beautiful going-out top I’ve ever seen, plus opera length leather gloves and brocade trousers.

Following her performance, she changed into this mint green stole and satin skirt with matching gloves and strappy heels. It’s Old Hollywood glamour meets hottest bitch alive. Side note: Look at Rocky looking at her :’) And, again, this wasn’t even her final outfit of the night! She wore sequin bra and skirt and voluminous hot pink coat to the after party.

Here’s a fun look from Los Angeles where it appears her rugby shirt is tucked under her bra. Unclear if it’s because the shirt doesn’t fit over her belly or she just wants to flaunt her bump—I don’t care either way! And this is proof she isn’t always in heels.

Well I’m obsessed with the sheer bodysuit and skirt-pant combo that she hiked up over her bump. And this color plus a fur coat reminds me of her YSL heart-shaped coat which she revived during her first pregnancy.

Another wide-leg jean and Timberlands look, but this time, she’s in New York, so she added a fur coat and a Yankees hat. This is what she wore on Target run with her niece! She has the top jeans button undone, and that part is at least very relatable.

Look, some people will hate this, but I am not those people. Rihanna is going to voice Smurfette in the forthcoming The Smurfs Movie, and she showed up to CinemaCon in April wearing “more denim than Britney Spears and Justin Timblerlake combined,” per Fashionista. I respect Rih for wearing a giant stonewashed smock and joots if she wants to.

The 2023 Met Gala is an homage to Karl Lagerfeld, the, uh, controversial former creative director of Chanel, and Rihanna signaled her attendance by dressing like a sexy ostrich the weekend before the event. Her jacket and logo sunglasses are from Chanel’s Fall/Winter 1994 collection, designed by Lagerfeld himself. This seems to suggest she’ll be appearing on the red carpet, the place where she and Rocky made their debut in 2021. (She didn’t attend last year, as the Gala was within weeks of her giving birth.)

Rihanna was the last person to arrive on the red carpet and she was a gigantic camellia, Coco Chanel’s signature flower. Importantly, her sunglasses had eyelashes. She shrugged off the flower cocoon to reveal a plunging white gown and a reported $25 million in Cartier jewels. (She disguised the underpinnings of this look with a big fur coat when leaving her hotel and presumably put on the petals and train in the van on the way there.) In total, there were no fewer than three bumps at the event as Serena Williams and Karlie Kloss used fashion’s biggest night to reveal their second pregnancies.
