Rihanna has always enjoyed a high-profile pregnancy moment. For her third, she chose the 2025 Met Gala
Rihanna chose a very fashionable way to announce her third pregnancy: the 2025 Met Gala red carpet.
Tonight, the singer and Fenty founder first showed off her baby bump in a Miu Miu dress as she departed the Carlyle Hotel to walk the steps of The Metropolitan Museum of Art on the first Monday in May.

Then, arriving in head-to-toe Marc Jacobs, she shut down the red carpet as the final arrival of the night. The pop star and business mogul wore a black cropped woolen jacket, a wool bustier bodysuit, a black pinstripe wool tailored skirt with a bustle, a polka dot satin cravat, ankle chain pumps, and a hat Jacobs created in collaboration with Stephen Jones.

After all, she had to show up and support her man, A$AP Rocky, one of the stylish co-chairs this year. And in typical RiRi fashion, she did not disappoint with her own look.
Rihanna has always enjoyed a high-profile pregnancy moment: She announced her first while wearing a hot pink Chanel puffer jacket and ornate body chains – and a little over a month later, she arrived at the Dior show wearing a sheer black lace babydoll dress that showed off both her stomach and her lingerie. “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,” she told *Vogue *at the time about her pregnancy style. “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.”

This will be her third child with A$AP Rocky. They already have an almost-three-year-old son, RZA, and a one-year-old son, Riot Rose.
As a seven-time Met Gala attendee, Rihanna is a seasoned pro at delivering a head-turning fashion moment on the Met steps. When she first attended in 2007, she went the more classic and glamorous route in a white empire-waist Georges Chakra dress replete with rhinestone embellishments. As the years have progressed, however, her Met Gala looks have only gotten more elaborate and avant-garde.

One of Rihanna’s most famous Met Gala looks to date was back in 2015, when she hit the red carpet in a yellow Guo Pei coat dress featuring an elaborate 16-foot train. In 2018, for 'Heavenly Bodies', she made internet waves in a Maison Margiela papal look. For her most recent appearance, meanwhile, at the 2023 Karl Lagerfeld–themed exhibition, she chose a white Valentino floral cape and gown.
Tonight, however, she and Rocky proved yet again that the Met Gala is their event. Everyone else just comes close.
