Rihanna is the ultimate “cool mom.” She’s been redefining maternity fashion with custom Loewe and Maison Margiela, and she did it again at the 2025 Met Gala. We knew Riri would bring something unforgettable (remember her iconic Guo Pei gown in 2015 or the papal-inspired look in 2018?), but a pregnancy reveal? That was a surprise.

True to form, she made headlines once more—maybe even outdoing her own Super Bowl announcement—by debuting the news in Miu Miu and Marc Jacobs. Then, for the Met Gala after-party at Jean’s (hosted by this year’s co-chair A$AP Rocky), she switched into another look that proudly showed off her bump. She’s now part of the Met Gala’s stylish baby-bump legacy, following Adwoa Aboah, who wore a ruffled red two-piece last year while pregnant, and Serena Williams, who announced her second pregnancy at the 2023 gala.

This is Rihanna’s second Met Gala pregnancy appearance. In 2023, she and A$AP Rocky arrived in a white Valentino rose-covered gown honoring Karl Lagerfeld. This year, after the main event, she traded her Marc Jacobs tailoring for a softer take on the “Tailored for You” theme—baring her bump but covering her head with a bedazzled durag. And since this is just the beginning of her latest maternity fashion era, we’re already excited for what’s next.
