What’s a Met Gala without a little Rihanna magic?
This year, she didn’t just serve fashion—she dropped another surprise: baby number three is on the way.
And true to form, she announced it not with a press release, but with a look that turned heads and got everyone talking.
A Surprise Baby Bump Reveal at the Met Gala
Rihanna, now 37, made her third pregnancy known in the most Rihanna way possible—effortlessly stylish, low-key dramatic, and completely on her own terms.
She showed up earlier in the evening wearing a sharp tailored skirt suit, subtly showcasing her baby bump like it was part of the outfit.
From Red Carpet to Afterparty Chic
Later that night, she stepped out with A$AP Rocky for his Met Gala afterparty at Jean’s in New York City, and she didn’t hold back on the glamour.
Her choice?
A sleek black silk co-ord—open shirt, flowing skirt, and heels to elevate the whole vibe.
She finished the look with a diamond necklace and silk headband while gently cradling her bump.
A$AP Rocky Keeps It Sharp and Statement-Ready
By her side, A$AP Rocky was dressed to impress in a tailored suit covered in bright pins.
He even added a cane for good measure—classic Rocky, always mixing old-school charm with bold style.
He co-chaired this year’s Met Gala alongside stars like Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, and, of course, Anna Wintour.
Star-Studded Guest List and Rainy Night Vibes
As rain fell across Manhattan, other celebs made their way to the bash. Jenna Ortega and Sabrina Carpenter were seen leaving the party arm-in-arm, dodging raindrops and flashing smiles.
Sabrina stood out in a dramatic canary yellow coat worn over a black suit, while security helped usher them to their car.
Rihanna’s Pre-Gala Look Was Peak Fashion Tease
Earlier in the day, fans caught a glimpse of Rihanna arriving at The Carlyle Hotel in NYC, wearing a light turquoise Miu Miu set with her bump on full display.
No red carpet yet—she was clearly getting ready in true Rihanna style: fashionably late.
And yes, late arrivals are kind of her thing. In 2023, she and Rocky didn’t leave their hotel until 10 p.m.—after Vogue’s live coverage had wrapped up.
Her Grand Entrance Didn’t Disappoint
Around the same time this year, Rihanna finally made her entrance at the Met Museum in a black pin-striped dress paired with a cropped blazer.
Her accessories?
An oversized hat and a bold maroon tie with white polka dots—just the right touch of drama for the Met.
Family First: Rihanna Gets Real About Motherhood
Already a proud mom to two boys—RZA, 2, and Riot, 1—Rihanna hasn’t been shy about wanting a bigger family.
Back in December 2023, she hinted at wanting a girl next, telling E! News she’s batting 75% for boys, so she’s “keeping her fingers crossed.”
She’s also opened up about the kind of mom she wants to be—and her inspiration?
Teresa Giudice from The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
A Mom Who Doesn’t Mess Around
“I love Teresa from Jersey,” she told ELLE, “because she does not play about her kids.”
Rihanna sees herself the same way—fiercely protective and ready to go full “psycho” mom mode if anyone disrespects her children.
“You talk about my kids, it’s over,” she said.
What’s Next for Rihanna?
With another baby on the way, her iconic Met Gala moments, and her steady rise as a fashion and beauty mogul, Rihanna shows no signs of slowing down.
Whether she’s running a brand or growing her family, one thing’s clear—she’s doing it all her way.
