Nobody does maternity style quite like Rihanna.
The style-savvy Bad Gal — who welcomed her second child with partner A$AP Rocky, with whom she also shares son RZA, in August 2023 — stepped out in one baby bump-baring look after the next during both her pregnancies, from a completely sheer black Dior dress at Paris Fashion Week to a sequined “microkini” at Cannes Lions.
“When I found out I was pregnant, I thought to myself, There’s no way I’m going to go shopping in no maternity aisle,” Rihanna told Vogue in 2022.
“I’m sorry — it’s too much fun to get dressed up. I’m not going to let that part disappear because my body is changing.”
But her bold, belly-framing outfits were about more than just having a good time.
“I’m hoping that we were able to redefine what’s considered ‘decent’ for pregnant women,” she told Vogue. “My body is doing incredible things right now, and I’m not going to be ashamed of that. This time should feel celebratory. Because why should you be hiding your pregnancy?”
Below, see all of the fashion and beauty mogul’s incredible maternity fashion moments.
