It’s hard to overstate the influence Rihanna has had on what famous people want to wear when they are expecting a child. From the fall 1996 Chanel puffer jacket she wore to debut her first pregnancy with son RZA in 2022, to the Loewe bodysuit she chose to reveal her second, with Riot, at the 2023 Super Bowl, the musician has managed to rewrite the maternity rule book because she dressed like—gasp!—someone who wasn’t pregnant at all. (Why purchase an elasticated waistband when you can just unbutton your jeans with an air of give-a-damn déshabillé?) Now, the pattern continues. Since announcing her third pregnancy at the 2025 Met Gala in Marc Jacobs tailoring, Rihanna has been photographed in Martine Rose polos, Balmain summer dresses and gothic Ann Demeulemeester suiting along with a suite of custom Alaïa bodycon gowns—proving once again that maternity style is just style.
Below, revisit some of the former Vogue cover star’s best maternity looks to date.
