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.
