Rihanna practically broke the internet when photos surfaced online of the singer holding hands with boyfriend ASAP Rocky, with a burgeoning baby bump protruding from under her long pink puffer jacket.
“SHE IS!” famed photographer Miles Diggs, aka Diggzy, wrote about instagram alongside a close-up of the singer’s belly, appearing to confirm that RiRi is indeed pregnant with her first child.
Unlike other pop stars, such as Beyonce or Nicki Minaj, the Barbadian singer’s pregnancy reveal is decidedly low-key. There’s no elaborate photo shoot or floral backdrop, the jeans and jacket combo is relatively casual (but still incredibly cool), and the 33-year-old hasn’t even shared the news on her own. Instagram.
It looks like Rihanna is going to go pregnancy in her own inimitable style, and we also think she’s going to be breaking the rules when it comes to maternity fashion…
Stylish streetwear
If her pregnancy reveal photos, Rihanna isn’t about to start wearing demure maternity dresses and elasticated waist pants.
When she’s not on duty, the pop icon likes baggy jeans, sports singlets, bomber jackets and baseball caps, so expect to see a lot more of those as her belly grows .
Trendy sewing
RiRi has been wearing oversized suits and baggy pants for a while now. Maybe she’ll continue with the vibe from her pregnancy reveal, wearing unbuttoned blazers to reveal her growing bump.

In the past, some of Rihanna’s red carpet dresses have been the kind that would look amazing on a mom-to-be, with a high waistline and full skirts.
If the singer attends the Met Gala in May, we might see her in something similar, but with a quintessentially RiRi high fashion vibe.
High heels
No judgment on moms-to-be who choose to ditch the heels when they’re pregnant, but we can’t imagine high-heel lover Rihanna is going to stick with sneakers.
A pair of pointy-toe stilettos look like they’re peeking out from under her extra-long jeans in the baby bump reveal images, and the singer has made jaw-dropping heels a big part of her fashion label Fenty, today. disappeared today. We think she’ll pair her maternity looks with lots of heeled boots and sandals.

Rihanna is often a model for her lingerie brand, so will she design a range dedicated to maternity? We can only hope…
