If there’s anyone in full mommy mode right now, it would have to be Rihanna. The singer and her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, happily shocked the world with an announcement of her first pregnancy in January 2022. Their big news was followed by plenty of historic “Fashion Killa” moments, as well as the reveal of their second baby during her performance at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime show. It remains unclear exactly how far along the Bad Gal is at this point, or whether she’ll be having a boy or girl. However, she certainly hasn’t been shy about showing off her budding belly during her ongoing vacation in Paris.
Rocky and Rih first flew to the city earlier this month along with their son, known to the world as Baby Fenty. One of their initial stops was at Jay-Z’s performance in tandem with Louis Vuitton to celebrate Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol. Since then, fans and paparazzi have captured photos and videos of the Testing rapper filming a music video in Paris, while his girlfriend has been dining at fine restaurants and dropping bags at stores like Louis Vuitton.
Rihanna and Her Son Shop Till They Drop
On Friday (April 21), the 35-year-old and her firstborn stylishly stepped out to get their shop on. While Rihanna donned mid-wash jeans, a cropped multi-colour sweater, and a windbreaker to match, her little boy sat comfortably in her arm, rocking a Raiders bomber jacket over a grey sweatsuit. Even with a baby in her stomach and one to carry, the fashionista still opted to wear a pair of strappy heels, also carrying a monogrammed LV bag for her trip to the designer shop.
It remains unclear exactly what the “Rude Boy” hitmaker spent her money on, though cameras did catch her leaving the store with some new goodies in hand. Since announcing she’s with child once again, some of the best maternity looks we’ve seen from Rihanna have come from this trip to Paris. Keep scrolling to see more photos of her recent outfits, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
Rihanna has graced so many magazine covers that her photogenic magnetism is undeniable. Make no mistake; it is not just a matter of beauty. When examing and unpacking the mythical ‘it’ factor, Rihanna has an abundance, channeling a mystique that has given her a long list of ‘best magazine covers.’ Her accented vocals have been her calling card, and she can transition from contralto to mezzo-soprano with perfect ease. Equally important to her vocals is that she can juggle raps while parlaying introspective choruses. In addition, she is a master of infectious beats and singalong verses. With the magic of one album, she can make a person party, slow dance, and weep.
Consequently, her craft, artistry, and innovative genius are as much a factor for her fame as her beauty. Therefore, seeing her on any magazine cover is never a surprise. Her hazel eyes are forever purposeful yet ludic and coy, telegraphing that she comes for both play and business. In essence, she constantly tests the boundaries of a musical world. Even when fans cannot attend her concerts, her many appearances in magazine layouts like Vogue and GQ bridge the distance. As for the many covers that have helped build her empire and solidify her reputation, here are some of the best.
British Vogue, September 2018
Whether it’s the British or the American version, September is always Vogue Magazine’s mega month. It is the thickest issue; even the advertisements are artful and glamorous. It was in September 2018 that Rihanna appeared on British Vogue’s cover. She sidestepped gloss and artificial sophistication, looking like a woodland sprite from an haute couture fairy tale.
Yusef Williams did her hair, and Isamaya French was responsible for her makeup. The photos feature fantastical playfulness run amuck. Flowers crowned her head in brilliant citruses and pinks. Her razor-thin eyebrows temporarily resurrected the plucked looks of Jean Harlow circa the 1930s. In addition, the liquified plum lipstick signaled a love for goth-glam themes.
GQ, January 2010
GQ’s January 2010 cover featured Rihanna in an article titled “Good Girl Gone Badass.” It showed her rapidly coming into her own regarding her creative prowess and ability to call the shots in a multi-hyphenated career. Her hair was playfully teased, and her arms were casually crossed over her bare chest. The photoshoot occurred days after the singer’s now-famous interview with Diane Sawyer, where she discussed the turmoil of her Chris Brown relationship. Despite the intimacy of that interview, the GQcover was a reminder of how strong and self-assured Rihanna was and continues to be.
Dazed and Confused, Autumn 2021
For the Autumn 2021 issue of Dazed and Confused Magazine, Rihanna embraced the unorthodoxy of a femme fatale who doesn’t need validation. In Rafael Pavarotti’s photos, she modeled a futuristic and retro look. On the cover, she wore a coppery catsuit with material that fit like metallic snakeskin. Her cropped hair might have advertised androgyny on anyone else; on Riri, it was a superhero look, heralding her daredevil ethos. Additional photos showed her in a lipstick-red catsuit. She also wore an oversized hat that looked sprung from the Mad Hatter’s closet.
Vogue, November 2019
Let it never be said that there isn’t a love affair between Rihanna and Vogue. The November 2019 issue showed the singer in her own Fenty designs. In addition to talking to the magazine about her ‘gothleisiure’ looks, Rihanna also discussed the inclusivity of her brand. Her makeup line has 50 shades of hydrating foundation for various skin types, and her clothing comes in sizes for every body type. Rihanna sported a Fenty tulle coat for the cover and accessorized with Forevermark x Jade Trau earrings. Once again, Yusef Williams did her hair. Makeup artist Kanako Takase did her makeup in a soft tableau of natural shades. The Fashion Editor for the entire shoot was Tonne Goodman.
Vogue, May 2022
The behind-the-scenes footage of Rihanna’s Vogue May 2022 cover shoot showed a megastar entirely at ease with her success. She wore various looks that flaunted her baby bump. In some photos, she also donned Savage X Fenty briefs and a Marc Jacobs coat. She admitted to surrendering and enjoying her journey as a musical megastar, even as she slipped into a cinched white latex gown that revealed the belly as much as the décolleté. On the cover, she sizzled in a red lace catsuit. With photos by Annie Liebowitz, the camera embraced Rihanna as much as it captured her. The camera angles force readers to look up at the chanteuse as if daring anyone to underestimate her.
BritishGQ, December 2013
For their 25th Anniversary cover, British GQ transmogrified Rihanna into Medusa. Though Medusa is a monster of Greek mythology, it is worth noting that her powers often persuade audiences to think of her as more of a goddess. In the myths, Medusa turns onlookers into stone even as she mesmerizes them with her snake tendrils. Taking on the come-hither deceptive seduction of that most famous Gorgon, Rihanna’s name was emblazoned on the magazine’s cover; she needed no subheading or logline.
Like so many mononymous stars – Cher, Madonna, Beyonce – Rihanna only needed her name to capture the public. For the magazine, she collaborated with Damien Hirst, one of Britain’s richest and most acclaimed artists whose past work has included various installations and collaborations with the house of McQueen. Together, the singer and artist took the magazine’s images to the very edge of fashion.
Rihanna has been very busy as of late. Of course, she has been working hard with her Fenty brand which has taken the world by storm. Moreover, she has been part of some massive performances at places like the Super Bowl and even The Oscars. However, her most important endeavor has been raising her newborn son. Her child with A$AP Rocky has made a few appearances on social media over the past few weeks. Although we know very little about him, there is no doubt that Rihanna loves to show him off when she can.
Overall, Rihanna has seemingly enjoyed motherhood so much that she is going to have another child soon. At recent events, Riri has shown off her baby bump, and there is no doubt that fans are excited for her. She and A$AP Rocky are beginning to grow their family, and you cannot help but be happy for both of them. As for her first child, the artist is making sure that he is dripped out with the latest designer fashion. At the end of the day, why not do such a thing when you have the means to make it happen?
Rihanna Knows How To Dress Her Child
In the captionless image above, you can see Rihanna’s son wearing what appears to be a special Fendi jacket. The jacket is made out of some premium materials, and it is covered in Fendi branding. Firstly, the main color of the jacket is green. Subsequently, there are patches where the Fendi double-fs are placed all the way throughout. The top patch on the back is just the Fendi logo enlarged, while the bottom patch spells the word “Trouble.” Overall, it is a very cute look that is paired up with some jeans.
In the future, it will be interesting to see what other outfits she and Rocky concoct for their son and their future child. Both are hugely influential in the fashion game, and that influence will most definitely be passed down. Let us know what you think of the Fendi jacket, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Also in 2013, Rihanna was featured in the music video for A$AP’s song “Fashion Killa” off his debut album, LONG.LIVE.A$AP. A$AP also name-drops Rihanna in the song. Her appearance in the video sparked many of the first rumors that the two were dating. However, A$AP shot down the rumors in an interview with Distractify, as he stated, “I don’t even look at her like that. She’s sexy, but I’m good.”
December 2019: British Fashion Awards
Six years after their first musical collaboration, A$AP and Rihanna posed on the red carpet of the British Fashion Awards. However, the two were not a couple at the time. After the event, Rihanna posted a photo on Instagram and thanked A$AP Rocky for supporting her billion-dollar brand. She wrote, “And thank you @asaprocky for representing us on the carpet and always being so supportive of @Fenty!!”
January 2020: Dating Rumors
Following Rihanna’s split from her rumored partner of three years, Hassan Jameel, gossip once again began to circulate about A$AP. These rumors began after a source told The Sun that they shared a hotel during a trip to New York. The source also stated, “However, Rihanna is reluctant to put a label on it as it’s so soon after Hassan. [But] they’re really enjoying each other’s company and taking things easy as it’s still early days. It’s really casual between them and she’s not thinking about whether there’s a future with Rocky. She’s a newly-single girl having fun.”

Dating rumors about the pair continued as the two were seen leaving The Nice Guy restaurant in Los Angeles in February 2020. Rihanna and A$AP were also spotted on November 28th at The Beatrice Inn in New York City. A source told People Magazine two days after this that the longtime friends were now a couple. It didn’t come as a surprise to fans, considering their long history.
A$AP Calls Rihanna “The Love Of My Life”
In an interview with GQ Magazine, Rocky stated that Rihanna was “the love of his life” and also referred to Rihanna as “my lady” while speaking about their relationship. The interviewer mentioned that A$AP “starts beaming like a teenager whose crush just accepted his prom invite” when Rihanna was mentioned. Rocky also spoke on the potential of fatherhood in this interview as he stated, “If that’s in my destiny, absolutely. Nah, but like, I think I’d be an incredible, remarkably, overall amazing dad.” Rocky also confirmed that during this interview, he spent Christmas in Barbados with Rihanna’s family.

May 2022: A$AP Rocky Opens Up
In an interview with Dazed, Rocky also opened up about his once-private relationship with Rihanna. When discussing the prospect of fatherhood, Rocky stated, “I will always remind my children to never lose their imagination, even as adults, no matter what. I actually love to watch cartoons – I’ve watched like, Teletubbies, Blue’s Clues, Yo Gabba Gabba, Peppa Pig and Baby Shark.” He went on, “I hope to raise open-minded children. Not people who discriminate. And I’m not trying to describe a saint, but realistically, I just want a cool child with cool parents.”
A$AP also spoke on his relationship, stating, “I think it’s just natural. We happen to look good together naturally. You know, it would take a lot of work to have us forcefully match before we leave the house. Sometimes we match to a T, or we just wear the same clothes. If I buy a shirt that she likes, I expect to get it stolen… but then I gotta steal it back.”
February 2023: British Vogue Feature
Just days after her Super Bowl performance, Rihanna graced the cover of BritishVogue with A$AP and their son. Rihanna later revealed that she was pregnant at the time of the shoot and did not know it. In the interview with the magazine, Rihanna stated, “We’re best friends with a baby. We have to be on the same page, but we’ve always kind of had that in our relationship. Everything changes when you have a baby, but I wouldn’t say it’s done anything but made us closer.”
March 2023: The Oscars
Rihanna and A$AP were pictured backstage at the Academy Awards as Rocky cradled Rihanna’s baby bump for a photo-op. Rihanna performed her song “Lift Me Up” at the ceremony and was also nominated for Best Original Song.

Coachella may have seemed like the place to be this past weekend, but truthfully, it seems as though just as many of our favourite celebrities were turning up in Paris. Of course, Jay-Z was in the city for a surprise performance in tandem with Louis Vuitton, honouring the late great Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Lil Tjay was also around, giving an incredible performance to a massive crowd nearly a year after he was first due to take the stage in France on the day of his traumatizing shooting. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were there too, and cameras caught the 35-year-old sporting plenty of stunning maternity fashion moments.
For one outing, the ANTI artist kept her blossoming baby bump on display under a cropped grey sweater, Her pregnancy glow is infectious, and the smile on her face proves that motherhood is truly becoming on Rihanna. Not one was she shining bright like a diamond, but the collection of jewels around her neck and wrists were too.
Rihanna Looks Pretty in Paris
As DailyMail reports, the Barbadian stepped out sans A$AP Rocky for dinner with a friend one night, wearing a knit brown tube top with a fur coat over cobalt blue pants. Being the makeup mogul that she is, Rihanna perfectly matches her bottoms with eyeliner and earrings, also adding a simple gold necklace to brighten up the simple but stylish outfit. She and her boyfriend also made an appearance at Jay-Z’s concert, where cameras caught them happily watching on from a balcony together.
There are plenty of images of her circulating online, but the 35-year-old hasn’t been sharing any content from Europe herself. Rather, the Bad Gal’s Instagram feed has become almost exclusively dedicated to her months-old son, who’s become known to the internet as Baby Fenty.

Every now and then, Seth Meyers and a guest do a Late Night segment where they go day drinking. The 2019 segment with Rihanna was a particular hit and is the show’s most-viewed YouTube video. It turns out that segment was the most intoxicated Meyers has ever been on the show.
In a Late Late Show interview yesterday (April 17), James Corden asked Meyers what was the most drunk he’s ever gotten doing that segment, and Meyers responded, “We have to edit out some of the drinking just for time, so whatever you see, it’s like 40 percent more than that. Rihanna was the drunkest I’ve ever been, I think, and it was worth every second of it.”
The host then asked how drunk he got and Meyers responded:
“Well, first of all, I should note that… I hate to break the news here: she’s younger than me. We drank the same amount and then she definitely went out. Like, she was fine. She walked out, she looked as good as she did when we started. I went home, immediately fell asleep in the hallway of my apartment. Got in the door, fell asleep. My wife — passive-aggressively, James — put a water next to my head and went to bed.”
Check out the interview above and revisit the Rihanna day drinking segment below.
It looks like Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s family now has a new luxury destination to call home. Moreover, news recently broke of the Barbadian superstar purchasing a 9,300-square-foot property in Los Angeles for $21 million, according to the New York Post. Apparently, it’s called “the Mansion in the Sky,” because the Century high-rise takes up an entire 40th floor with its four bedrooms and is “above the city like a floating palace.” Of course, this is one of many grand and expensive properties that form RiRi’s real estate portfolio, which she built over years to diversify her money and flip it if necessary.

Rihanna Purchases Insane High-Rise For $21 Million
In fact, Rihanna’s boyfriend A$AP Rocky is kind of in a similar boat. A lot of people are ready to see his next album Don’t Be Dumb, and not even Rolling Loud performances can release it from captivity. Even thought we don’t know why it hasn’t dropped yet, recent singles indicate that it’s just around the corner. However, it hasn’t slowed down his career, as he continued to collaborate with the likes of Metro Boomin. “Flacko my real brother since Yams introduced us 13 years ago and been solid ever since,” the producer wrote of Rocky on Twitter. “I’m 4ever grateful for brosay.”
Meanwhile, his reflections on fatherhood indicate that the couple will share a wonderful life with their kids. “It’s beautiful,” he shared at the time. “Honestly, I think fatherhood gives me more time to do exactly what I want. I don’t have time for anything that isn’t priorities. It helps you prioritize, honestly. I love it. Everything is just based around my newfound love for being a dad and a family man. It’s lit right now. I can’t even describe it. Yo, you see this smile! I’m all smiles right now, man.” Regardless of any mansions in the sky, come back to HNHH for the latest new and updates on A$AP Rocky and Rihanna.
