During the star-studded 2025 Met Gala, Rihanna made headlines by announcing her third pregnancy while donning a chic pinstripe outfit from Marc Jacobs. A$AP Rocky, who co-chaired the event, confirmed the exciting news, which coincided perfectly with the gala's theme of Black dandyism. In an equally heartwarming moment, Karlie Kloss disclosed her own pregnancy.
Rihanna made a stunning entrance at the 2025 Met Gala, not only captivating the crowd with her fashion choices but also revealing her third pregnancy. After unveiling her second pregnancy during her Super Bowl halftime performance in 2023, the singer and Fenty Beauty founder once again used a major public event to announce the joyful news.
Wearing a chic pinstripe Marc Jacobs ensemble, Rihanna accentuated her baby bump with a stylish polka-dot cravat and an oversized hat, becoming the last celebrity to arrive on the red carpet at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. The evening was one of celebration, co-chaired by her partner, A$AP Rocky, and was themed around Black dandyism and style, inspired by the Met’s Costume Institute exhibition “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”
Earlier that day, Rihanna had been spotted strolling through the rainy streets of New York in a gray-blue cropped top and skirt set, paired with a fur stole and a 1920s-style cloche hat. Her visible baby bump had already sparked buzz across social media. On the red carpet, A$AP Rocky confirmed the exciting news, sharing his happiness with Reuters by saying, “It feels amazing” to reveal Rihanna’s pregnancy at such a prominent event.
A$AP Rocky, who had arrived hours earlier, also turned heads with his self-designed outfit, drawing inspiration from the 1989 film Harlem Nights. Accessorizing with an umbrella and red-soled Christian Louboutin shoes, he was a stylish counterpart to Rihanna. The couple, who share two sons, continues to captivate the public with their fashion choices and family milestones.
Rihanna wasn’t the only star making waves with a pregnancy reveal at the gala. Model Karlie Kloss, who announced she was expecting her third child in March, graced the red carpet in a sleek black jacket with high lapels, signaling her growing family.
The Met Gala has become an unexpected yet popular venue for celebrity pregnancy announcements. In 2023, tennis legend Serena Williams and model Adwoa Aboah revealed their pregnancies at the event, and in 2021, Kloss made a similar reveal.
Rihanna’s maternity style has long been admired for its boldness and flair. Her iconic looks throughout both of her previous pregnancies have redefined what it means to dress for motherhood. From sheer skirts at the Super Bowl to metallic fringe ensembles, Rihanna has proven that pregnancy is no excuse to sacrifice style. In an interview with Vogue, she shared, “I’m not going to let that part disappear because my body is changing.” Her fearless approach to fashion continues to inspire women everywhere, showcasing that comfort and style can go hand in hand.
As she celebrates her third pregnancy, Rihanna’s influence on celebrity maternity fashion is undeniable, setting new standards for how women can embrace their changing bodies while remaining true to their personal style. Her Met Gala appearance only solidifies her place as a fashion icon and an unapologetically bold mother-to-be.
The Met Gala red carpet continues to be a place where fashion and personal moments converge, and Rihanna’s announcement is a testament to how the event evolves, blending creativity, culture, and family milestones into unforgettable moments.
