Leave it to Rih to roll in late and still steal the spotlight. While most stars posed, twirled, and headed inside, Rihanna took her sweet time—because when you’re Rihanna, the carpet waits for you. Making her grand entrance at the 2025 Met Gala in a custom Marc Jacobs creation, she proved that maternity style can be anything but subtle.
Let’s break it down. A sculpted grey corset, a flowy black skirt, and a baby bump that looked every bit as regal as the rest of her—Rihanna showed up like a couture goddess. The theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” called for power and precision, and she delivered both with a wink and a walk.
While A$AP Rocky (aka partner-in-style and co-chair of the event) showed up earlier in custom AWGE, Rih made it clear—this was her moment.
Hold up. The outfit? Flawless. The bump? Glowing. But it was Rihanna’s words that had fans losing their minds. Asked about her long-anticipated album R9 and whether her third pregnancy would slow things down, her response? “No, maybe a couple of videos, but I can sing.”
That’s it. That’s the tweet. The navy has been holding its breath since Anti dropped in 2016, and now? Hope has been restored. New music is actually on the way.
Despite carrying baby number three and managing one of the busiest spotlights in the world, Rihanna told Entertainment Tonight she’s feeling “shockingly okay.” Not overwhelmed. Not exhausted. Just excited. And from the way she floated down that carpet, you’d never guess she’s juggling a fashion empire, music pressure, and pregnancy.
Twitter exploded the second she arrived. Memes, reaction gifs, and fan theories about the exact release date of R9 are flooding timelines. “Rihanna confirmed she can still sing” is already a trending quote, and fans are dissecting every syllable for hints.
The look was iconic. The presence? Magnetic. The news? Worth the wait. Rihanna didn’t just attend the Met Gala—she owned it. Baby bump on full display, R9 promises in the air, and couture maternity like only she can do.
