Rihanna reveals third pregnancy at the 2025 Met Gala: Every bold maternity look worn by the star across three bumps

Across all three pregnancies, Rihanna has stayed true to a singular philosophy: the bump is not something to hide. Rather, it’s something to dress up, with intent, confidence, and couture. Rejecting the traditionally modest and concealing silhouettes of maternity wear, Rihanna chooses to showcase, rather than obscure, the pregnant body. Whether through sheer fabrics, open silhouettes, belly chains, or crop tops, she’s redefining maternity style on her own terms.

Rihanna revealed her first pregnancy in January 2022 with a now-iconic street-style photoshoot in Harlem. Wearing low-rise ripped jeans and an unbuttoned vintage pink puffer coat from Chanel’s autumn 1996 collection, she exposed her midriff adorned with a vintage Chanel chain belt and a bejewelled crucifix.

A month after the official reveal, Rihanna stepped out in head-to-toe Gucci for the brand’s autumn-winter 2022 presentation. The singer showed off her bump in a latex crop top and low-slung trousers paired with an oversized purple faux fur coat. She complemented her bold ensemble with a Cleopatra-esque metal headpiece pulled from Gucci’s pre-autumn 2022 collection.

At the Dior autumn-winter 2022 show as part of Paris Fashion Week, Rihanna arrived in a black sheer lace négligée by the maison worn over lingerie, complemented by a leather cape and patent knee-high boots.

A maternity take on the iconic mini-skirt Miu Miu set, Rihanna was spotted in a crystal-clad mesh crop top and belted miniskirt ensemble for date night. She paired the risqué look with towering Christian Louboutin heels and a sparkly Balenciaga purse.

At the beauty mogul’s Fenty Eau de Parfum launch, Rihanna accentuated her baby bump with a custom The Attico green and lilac shredded sequin halter and pants combo that ensured all eyes were on her.

Alluding to her second pregnancy, Rihanna commanded the Super Bowl stage in a custom red Loewe flight suit layered under a glossy red Alaïa puffer coat. The monochrome look was unzipped mid-performance to reveal her growing belly, and she officially announced her pregnancy after the show. 

Fresh off her Super Bowl halftime debut, Rihanna was up for her first-ever nomination at the 2023 Oscars. She wore a bump-baring custom Alaïa gown, which featured a dark brown leather bandeau and cut-out skirt layered over a sheer bodysuit.

On stage, she shimmered in Maison Margiela: a sheer halter top with crystal embroidery and brocade trousers designed by John Galliano, accessorised with leather opera gloves. Glamorous, ethereal, and visually anchored by her bump, the outfit captured the drama of the night.

At two Met Galas ago, Rihanna paid a romantic tribute to Karl Lagerfeld in a white Valentino hooded gown adorned with 3D camellia flowers. Later, she unveiled the hood to show off the strappy white number and its long, gasp-worthy train.
