Maddy from Euphoria said it best – “I feel like I would look so sexy pregnant. I wouldn’t wear any of those nasty maternity clothes. It would just be me, plus pregnant” – but Rihanna is living it. Rihanna’s recent pregnancy announcement broke the internet, which was to be expected. However, she’s keeping up the momentum by trending and causing a stir online with every new outfit she’s pictured in – something that we couldn’t as easily have predicted. Serving looks from the first to third trimester, Riri is redefining how we think of maternity fashion.

Starting with the pregnancy reveal in question, Rihanna wore low waisted ripped jeans and a pink Chanel quilted coat, open to reveal her rapidly-growing bump. The fit was accessorised with layers of heavy, antique jewellery, and of course – A$AP Rocky.

Then came the sequin moment. Attending the launch of her new Fenty Beauty store in LA, Rihanna wore an outfit from The Attico. Green glittering hues on the halterneck top transitioned into silver then purple tones on the trousers, all of which were in dangling strands of sequins. The look also featured an open back, and was paired with teardrop statement earrings and a red lip.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight about maternity fashion at the event, Ri said that “It’s a long nine to 10 months. You have to enjoy it. I’m trying to enjoy it as much as I could (sic). And fashion is one of my favourite things, so, you know, we’re defying what it even means to be pregnant and maternal”. Talented and self aware.

At another Fenty event and in true Valentine’s spirit, Rihanna donned an all-red Alaia coat-dress – in leather and adored with a hood. Joining her, A$AP Rocky wore a sequin Celine suit, and matched Ri with some red sneakers.

However, her off-duty looks have been serving too. Heading out for dinner in Santa Monica, Rihanna gave us Y2K maternity fashion with low-waisted Vetements jeans, Tom Ford heels, a Fendi crop and coat, alongside a £26,000 diamond bra. With all these looks in the immediate aftermath of the pregnancy reveal, we can’t help but think that her and Rocky’s baby is destined to be the most fashionable newborn of all time. Imagine the archive closet.
