Rihanna Rocks The Internet Before Hitting Met Gala Carpet
So, letâs get into it! About an hour into the red carpet kickoff, a video of Rihanna in a hallway. Soon after, photos surfaced of the superstar outside the Carlyle Hotel. Remember, Rihannaâs signature move for the Met Gala is being fashionably late to the party! So, these sightings of the star are an extra earlyyyy sneak peek!
In the video posted by WWD, Rihanna was in the hotelâs hallway surrounded by what looks like security. She wore a grey ensemble: a long-sleeved shirt, a long skirt, a bucket hat, high socks, and closed-toe heels. Sis had a brown fur hanging over one hand but it did little to hide what looks like a baby bump poking through! The bump became even more evident when photos of Rihanna walking out of the hotel appeared on Getty Images. To keep it a buck fifty, between her shirt riding up and the brown fur not being large enough, the bump seemed to be on full display.Â
More photos show Rihanna wearing the exact fit walking through the rain. It gave the streetside photoshoot energy from her first pregnancyâminus the snow, enter the rain!
We know that Rocky isnât hiding whether Rihanna is carrying a bump! According to a red carpet video from Essence, he was on the red carpet before his bae. While he didnât spill any tea on her carpet look, he did talk about keeping her âbaby humpâ uncovered!

In another red carpet chat with the media, Rocky spoke about being âhappyâ regarding their family update. He also said that it feels âamazingâ to debut the pregnancy during the Met Gala. The rapper is one of a few celebrity co-chairs for this yearâs event, including Colman Domingo, Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, and honorary chair LeBron James.
Is She Giving Super Bowl Surprise Energy?
Itâs no secret that Rihanna is a mother to two-year-old RZA and one-year-old Riot Rose. Like this Met Gala sneak peek, her second pregnancy also had a wardrobe-related debut energy. You might recall that fans first learned about Riot when Rih headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2023. She popped out wearing an all-red look, bodysuit, and corset with a matching jumpsuit. Millions of people watched as Rihâs baby bump debuted high in the sky, assuming it was all planned! Months later, the superstar clarified that a wardrobe malfunction â the bump had grown too big â was why she announced it. At the time, only her stylist knew she was expecting!
âNo one knew I was pregnant. I just told my stylist, âMake sure itâs stretchy,’â she told Access Hollywood in December 2023. âSo the undergarment was stretchy and this was baggy, but you know, the zip. It just stopped right there! So it had to be what it had to be.â
Rihanna Steps Onto Red Carpet In Marc Jacobs
In proper Rih form, sis made her fans wait âtil the near end of the Met Gala carpet to shut down the show! She made no efforts to hide the baby bump her man had confirmed, not once but twice! Rihanna pulled up in a Marc Jacobs look that included a trench suit jacket used as a skirt, a grey belly-hugging top, and a cropped suit jacket. She accessorized with a wide-brimmed hat, a double tie with a white collar, and pointy heels. Swipe below to catch all the angles she served!
THESE Moments First Sparked Pregnancy RumorsÂ
Baggy clothes, a lawyer, and internet detectives were the recipe that gave the Navy a taste of a possible baby number three. It kinda-sorta started with a viral comment by A$AP Rockyâs lawyer. In February, Joe Tacopina claimed Rihanna and Rocky had promised to name baby number three after him after he won the criminal assault trial against the rapper. At the time, he didnât say whether the singer was already expecting, but the social media streets were buzzing regardless!
In March, Rihanna returned to her hometown, Barbados, to host a brand trip for a collab between Fenty and Puma. There, she hosted a launch party and walked into the function wearing a sporty streetwear look that had the internet in shambles. The womb watchers were going extra hard, speculating about what looked to be a slight belly bump in videos. She didnât address the speculations, keeping it all business in the media and on socials, but still, the talk lasted for days!
After returning from her Fenty trip, Rihanna popped out to support her man at Rolling Loud. Her âfit for the music festival included an oversized Balenciaga coat. Still, $2,450 wasnât enough to keep the womb watchers at bay. If anything, it fueled the talks even more!
