Rihanna Closes the 2025 Met Gala with a Major Surprise: Baby No. 3

The singer and fashion icon steals the spotlight once again, revealing her third pregnancy in a bold Marc Jacobs look at the 2025 Met Gala.

Rihanna knows how to make an entrance — and this year’s Met Gala proved no different. Arriving fashionably late to New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, the superstar revealed she’s expecting her third child, making for one of the night’s most unforgettable moments.

The theme of the 2025 Gala, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” paid tribute to the rich tradition of Black fashion, and Rihanna embraced the spirit wholeheartedly. She wore a custom Marc Jacobs creation — a sharp pinstripe suit, reimagined with bold proportions, a polka-dot cravat, and an oversized hat — all styled perfectly to frame her growing bump.

Rihanna’s partner, A$AP Rocky, served as a co-chair of the evening and was among the first to arrive, dressed in a self-designed look inspired by the classic film Harlem Nights. His nod to old-school glamour, complete with a slick umbrella and red-soled Louboutins, set the tone before Rihanna’s show-stopping arrival hours later.

Earlier that day, fans caught a glimpse of Rihanna strolling through a rainy Manhattan wearing a fur stole, cropped top, and cloche hat — sparking online buzz about her visible bump. On the Met’s red carpet, A$AP Rocky confirmed the happy news: “It feels amazing,” he told reporters.

Pregnancy reveals have become somewhat of a Met Gala tradition in recent years, and Rihanna joins the ranks of celebrities like Adwoa Aboah, Serena Williams, and Karlie Kloss, who have all shared similar moments at the iconic event.

For Rihanna, redefining maternity fashion has become a personal trademark. Throughout her previous pregnancies, she rejected conventional maternity wear, instead choosing daring silhouettes — sheer skirts, low-slung jeans, and corseted looks that celebrated rather than concealed her changing body. “Getting dressed is too much fun,” she once told Vogue. “I’m not going to let that disappear just because I’m pregnant.”

This year’s Met Gala appearance continues that philosophy. Rihanna’s look was both a celebration of Black craftsmanship and a statement of self-expression — two elements that have long defined her presence in fashion.

With another baby on the way and yet another Met Gala moment secured, Rihanna proves she’s not just a trendsetter — she’s a cultural force.
