Rihanna Steals Spotlight at Met Gala with Pregnancy Reveal
Rihanna never sticks to the script, and last night’s Met Gala 2025 was more proof. As celebrities swarmed the Metropolitan Museum of Art in their wildest interpretations of the theme, Rihanna stepped out in a custom Marc Jacobs outfit that screamed signature style—and a big announcement. The corseted dress, topped with a quirky cropped tuxedo jacket, a floor-length suit-inspired skirt, and a maroon polka-dot tie, was topped off with an enormous floppy hat by milliner Stephen Jones. But it was the singer’s pronounced baby bump that truly took over the red carpet.
Barely had the cameras caught up with the moment before A$AP Rocky, Rihanna’s longtime partner and this year’s Met Gala co-chair, confirmed the news: “It feels amazing... It’s time that we show the people what we was cooking up.” His beaming smile made it clear—he couldn’t be prouder.
The news wasn’t entirely a shock if you’ve followed Rihanna’s recent interviews. In a 2024 Interview Magazine piece, she admitted she had no plans to stop at just two kids. "I’d try for as many as God wants me to have" was her attitude then, and she’s clearly sticking to it.
This is far from Rihanna’s first headline pregnancy reveal. Remember her first pregnancy announcement in 2022? That was the Harlem sidewalk photo shoot with Miles Diggs, aka Diggzy—a set of images that broke the internet as much as the news itself. Then came her jaw-dropping move at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show, when she became the first-ever visibly pregnant Super Bowl performer. Clad in red, floating above the field, she delivered a medley of hits with unmatched swagger—and fans went wild. In an era of perfectly staged reveals, Rihanna’s moments always stand out as genuine and impossible to ignore.
Continuing a Legacy of Iconic Maternity Fashion
Each pregnancy announcement has felt uniquely her, and Tuesday’s Met Gala reveal just layered on another instantly iconic image. Rihanna didn’t just throw on a designer dress; she helped design the moment. Marc Jacobs created her suit-infused dress specifically for her, fusing masculine and feminine with a twist that only Rihanna could pull off. The maroon tie, exaggerated hat, and oversize tux details hinted at power and fun, two words that could define Rihanna’s approach to both music and motherhood.
Behind the scenes, the moment was captured earlier in the day, again by Diggs, who documented Rihanna in a sleek, gray, tailored two-piece. Each shot is making waves across social media, where every detail of her outfit—and bump—has fans buzzing. She’s not just following trends; she’s setting them for maternity fashion, showing expecting moms everywhere that bump style can be bold, fun, and high-fashion.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky already have two little ones at home: RZA Athelston, born May 2022, and Riot Rose, born August 2023. With another on the way, their family is growing as fast as their impact on pop culture. Don’t expect them to slow down anytime soon—not in music, not in style, and definitely not in making a splash at events like the Met Gala.
