Hours after Rihanna‘s surprise pregnancy reveal ahead of the 2025 Met Gala, the pop superstar made her way to the red carpet to show off her impeccable style and her new baby bump.
The Met Gala legend perfectly embodied the night’s “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme, wearing a menswear-inspired look that included a slouchy, wide-brimmed black hat; a gray corset over a white shirt collar topped by a black bolero jacket and burgundy polka-dot tie; and a pinstriped, button-down floor-length skirt. The skirt appeared to be created with an ultra-long men’s blazer, with its sleeves tied at her waist.
Rihanna finished the mobster-chic look with the perfect shoe: a black heel with a white lace-up spat.

A$AP Rocky, with whom Rihanna is expecting her third child, was a co-chair of this year’s Met Gala, alongside Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo and Lewis Hamilton, while LeBron James served as honorary chair. (James announced on X earlier Monday he had to cancel his appearance due to a knee injury he sustained at the end of the NBA season.)
The 2025 Met Gala theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which also inspired the Met Costume Institute’s spring 2025 exhibition of the same name and explores the history of Black dandyism.
Rihanna and Rocky share two sons together, RZA Athelston Mayers, who turns 3 years old this month, and 1-year-old Riot Rose Mayers.
