Rihanna made a show-stopping entrance at the Met Gala, cradling her baby bump and stunning in a custom Marc Jacobs creation, confirming expectations of her third pregnancy.
The evening's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," provided the perfect backdrop for Rihanna's arrival as the final, highly anticipated guest. Her appearance effectively stole the show, with a baby bump reveal that commanded attention. Her outfit was a clever homage to this year's theme and the "Tailored for You" dress code, a bespoke, suit-inspired design by Marc Jacobs. The brilliance of the look will be immediately apparent.
Earlier in the evening, she offered a subtle hint of her pregnancy, stepping out of the Carlyle Hotel in a dazzling Miu Miu dress. However, her arrival on the Met steps around 10 p.m.—appearing solo after the carpet was cleared—ensured all eyes were solely on her.
Rihanna donned a cropped black wool jacket over a form-fitting bustier bodysuit, paired with a tailored black pinstripe skirt featuring a dramatic bustle. The ensemble was completed with a polka dot satin cravat, delicate ankle-chain heels, and a wide-brimmed hat, a collaborative design with Stephen Jones.
Adding to the joyous occasion, Rihanna was present to support her partner, A$AP Rocky, who served as one of this year's Met Gala co-chairs. He confirmed their happy news to reporters, expressing, "It feels amazing, you know.
Their shared happiness was evident on the Met steps. For those who witnessed A$AP Rocky's emotional embrace of Rihanna following his recent court verdict, it was clear this couple is celebrating a period filled with love, relief, and joy.
This forthcoming arrival will be the third child for the couple, who are already parents to two sons: RZA, nearing his third birthday, and Riot Rose, who recently turned one.
