Leave it to Rihanna to make fashion’s most anticipated night her own personal pregnancy reveal, outdoing her 2023 Super Bowl announcement, dare we say. Known for serving as the red carpet’s finale, the singer took it upon herself to ensure the wait was worthwhile. Tonight, the 2025 Met Gala became a moment of pop culture history as the icon confirmed she’s expecting her third child with A$AP Rocky, in true Rihanna fashion.

After a day of speculative buzz, the Fenty mogul arrived in a custom Marc Jacobs ensemble that was as much a tribute to the exhibition’s theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, as it was to her maternal style. Featuring a corseted bodice, the look hugged her growing baby bump with effortless elegance, while a cropped tuxedo jacket added structure. Her floor-sweeping skirt—designed to mimic a tailored coat slipping off, its sleeves knotted behind her waist—cleverly nodded to the evening’s dress code, “Tailored for You.”

A maroon polka-dot tie, oversized hat, sharp pointed pumps, and vintage Belperron and Verdura jewels completed the outfit—one that was equal parts dandy, daring, and undeniably Rihanna. Her partner A$AP Rocky, who walked the carpet earlier in the evening alongside his fellow co-chairs of this year’s Gala, also confirmed the news to the Associated Press.

“It feels amazing,” he told the outlet. “We’re definitely happy, you know.”

With sons RZA and Riot already in their stylish brood, the couple seem to be going from strength to strength.

This year marks the second time Rihanna has brought her bump to the Met, following her 2023 red carpet appearance where she wrapped up a growing baby Riot in custom Valentino.
