Rihanna debuts third pregnancy with iconic return to the Met Gala 2025
The star made an impact as she returned for the biggest fashion night of the year
Rihanna made her grand return to the Met Gala in style this year, as she debuted her baby bump on the blue carpet for her third pregnancy.
Fans of the singer-turned-business-mogul, will recall that she shared her last pregnancy with the world during her 2023 Super Bowl half-time show.
This will be her third child with partner ASAP Rocky who also made an appearance at the star-studded event, donning a diamond-studded umbrella and wearing a custom look by AWGE, his own creative agency.
"It feels amazing, you know. It’s time that we show the people what we was cooking up," he said.
"And I’m glad everybody’s happy for us ’cause we definitely happy."
Rihanna, however, arrived later on with many fans of the event excited to see what look she'd turn in this year. The star opted for a Marc Jacobs dress which highlighted her growing baby bump with a boned corseted bodice and cropped suit jacket.

Known as fashion’s biggest night, the Met Gala is held on the first Monday in May and celebrates the opening of the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition at the New York museum.
This year’s theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, casts an eye back over 300 years of Black fashion, the concept of black dandyism and its lasting impact on contemporary style.
The fashion event of the year also saw some UK stars grace the blue carpet, as singer Dua Lipa wowed crowds in a glitzy custom open-back chiffon dress adorned with a long bow as she arrived on the navy carpet alongside fiance Callum Turner.
BAFTA winning actress Aimee Lou Wood from Sex Education and The White Lotus also impressed with her look by London fashion designer Priya Ahluwalia.
