Rihanna Reveals Third Pregnancy in Show-Stopping Met Gala Appearance

At the 2024 Met Gala, Rihanna made her third pregnancy debut in her trademark fashion-forward style, reclaiming the limelight after making news with her second pregnancy announcement during the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show.

Fashionably Late and Unforgettable

Rihanna stole the show in a stunning striped outfit designed by Marc Jacobs as she arrived as the last person on the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Her stunning group, including a fitted cut that highlighted her baby extend, an oversized hat, and a vibrant polka-dot cravat, verified the big news without saying a word.

On a historic occasion honoring "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," the theme of the most recent Costume Institute show at the Met, the news was made. A$AP Rocky, Rihanna's partner and co-chairman of the event, showed up earlier wearing a self-made ensemble influenced by Harlem Nights, complete with a chic umbrella and red-bottomed Christian Louboutin shoes.

Rihanna’s Third Baby on the Way

On one of the most renowned evenings in fashion, the couple, who already have two kids together, welcomed a new member to their expanding family. "It feels amazing" to share the news at such a historical event, A$AP Rocky told reporters on the red carpet when he confirmed the pregnancy to Reporters.

Rihanna created some controversy on the internet earlier that day when she was seen out in New York City wearing a rain-soaked outfit. Before the formal announcement, she sparked concerns by wearing a blue-gray crop top and skirt set, paired with a fur stole and a cloche hat, to carefully flaunt her bump.

A Popular Stage for Pregnancy Announcements

It wasn't just Rihanna who used the Met Gala as an event to publicly disclose her pregnancy. Also, model Karlie Kloss made her third pregnancy debut while wearing a stylish black jacket with large lapels. With celebrities like Serena Williams and Adwoa Aboah making similar declarations on its famous red carpet, the Met has come to be as the center for pregnancy reveals in recent years.

Wearing an all-white Valentino ensemble, complete with a hooded cloak covered in camellias and a dramatic display of her baby bulge underneath, Rihanna closed out the Karl Lagerfeld-themed Met Gala in 2023.

Met Gala Continues to Be a Stage for Pregnancy Reveals

Rihanna is one of several celebrities who revealed their pregnancies at the Met Gala. Model Karlie Kloss wore a fitted black outfit to reveal her third pregnancy this year. Stars like Adwoa Aboah and Serena Williams have also made maternity declarations on the Met steps in previous seasons.

In a white Valentino gown honoring Karl Lagerfeld, Rihanna ended the 2023 Met Gala by revealing her second pregnancy with a dazzling flourish.

 

Redefining Maternity Style

Rihanna, a true trendsetter, has received a lot of praise for changing the way people think of maternity clothes. She ignored tradition and embraced daring trends with her previous pregnancies, ranging from bold metals to honest skirts and corsets.

"There's no way I'm going shopping in no maternity aisle," she said in a 2022 cover story for Vogue after learning she was expecting. Since my body is evolving, I won't let that portion vanish.

She once again showed that pregnancy is no excuse to tone down the glitz with her iconic Super Bowl halftime ensemble, which included a bright red flight suit, catsuit, and sculpted leather corset by Loewe.
