Pregnancy reveal, but make it couture — Rihanna announces baby number three in custom Marc Jacobs at the 2025 Met Gala, blending dandy tailoring with bump-forward beauty.
Rihanna has never followed the playbook — not in music, not in beauty, and certainly not in motherhood. The undisputed queen of surprise pregnancy reveals once again turned the world into her runway at the 2025 Met Gala, confirming her third pregnancy in the only way Rihanna knows how: with a fashion moment for the ages.
In a custom Marc Jacobs ensemble that masterfully merged tailoring with maternity, Rihanna embodied the Met Gala’s “Tailored for You” dress code while quietly commanding attention. The look — part structured suiting, part sculptural eveningwear — featured a corseted bodice paired with a cropped tuxedo jacket. Below the waist, a deconstructed blazer was reimagined into a floor-length skirt, with sleeves knotted elegantly at the back, transforming traditional menswear codes into something entirely her own.
Never one to shy away from drama, Rihanna topped the ensemble with a floppy hat that gave a wink to both dandy style and Southern Gothic glamour. A maroon polka-dot tie added an irreverent twist, while sharp stilettos and archival jewels from Belperron and Verdura sealed the deal. It was a look that celebrated structure without sacrificing softness — and, more importantly, it celebrated her body on her own terms.
While A$AP Rocky — who served as co-chair for the evening — officially confirmed the couple’s joyous news on the carpet, the fashion itself had already spoken volumes. “It feels amazing,” he told the press. “We’re just happy to finally share what we’ve been cooking up.”
For Rihanna, this appearance also marked a return to the playful, fearless fashion that first cemented her icon status. In Harper’s Bazaar’s March 2025 cover story, she admitted that motherhood had shifted her style into “logical” territory — favoring practicality over performance. But now, she says, “I’m starting to just remember what I loved about it: the juxtaposition, putting the things together that don’t make sense.”
At the 2025 Met Gala, Rihanna didn’t just show up — she showed out. And with her baby bump wrapped in couture and confidence, she reminded the world that for her, fashion is always personal, powerful, and perfectly timed.
