Once again, Rihanna is ready to prove that no one does maternity fashion quite like her. The Barbadian singer announced her first pregnancy in an incredibly stylish way last year. She markedly put her budding bump on display in a vintage hot pink Chanel coat. At the time, she and her beau A$AP Rocky casually strolled through New York, allowing a photographer to expertly capture their big reveal.
In her usual fashion, the Bad Gal somehow managed to top that by sharing news of her second baby at the Super Bowl. Rather than just attending the game in Arizona, Rihanna finally made her return to the stage last weekend. During a medley of some of her greatest hits, viewers quickly took note of her obviously growing stomach. The news comes just 9 months after the arrival of her son.
Many were obviously in shock over the news. For the most part, the response has been a shower of praise and well-wishes for the expecting parents. As the hype from her big performance dies down, Rihanna went out for the first time earlier this weekend. Her outfit was far less revealing than the ones she sported the last time she was with child. However, it still earns her major style points in our books.
On Friday (February 17), the 34-year-old hit the town for dinner at her favourite spot, Giorgio Baldi’s Santa Monica location. Paparazzi caught her on camera at the restaurant. She wore baggy denim jeans with various symbols printed across the front and a Godzilla graphic tee. To keep her (and the bit of stomach peeking out from beneath her top) warm, RiRi layered up with a long, brown fur coat.
She kept her accessories to a minimum, rocking black sunglasses and some layered chains. Rather than her usual high heels, the “Diamonds” hitmaker kept cozy in a pair of black and white sunglasses. It remains unclear who her date for the evening was, as no other famous faces appear alongside Rihanna in the new snaps.
As she awaits the arrival of baby number two, the fashionista has been spilling plenty of tea about her son. Not only did she recently tell British Vogue that she and A$AP Rocky didn’t hire a nanny when he was born, but she’s also spoken out about her desire for the young boy to embrace “fluidity in fashion.” Read more about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
