Inside Story

Rihanna turned the 2025 Met Gala into a runway for more than just fashion — she debuted her third pregnancy with unmatched flair, closing out the night in a custom Marc Jacobs ensemble that paid tribute to this year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”

The fashion icon arrived in a show-stopping layered look: a black bonded barathea wool Spencer jacket, gray morning-stripe bustier bodysuit, and a sharp pinstripe skirt featuring a tied-jacket bustle. A polka-dot satin cravat and custom hat by Marc Jacobs x Stephen Jones added extra flair, while spectator-embellished ankle-chain pumps tied it all together.

Styled by longtime collaborator Jahleel Weaver, Rihanna’s ensemble was a masterclass in tailored elegance — and a powerful statement of joy. “I brought the kid,” she declared on the carpet, confirming her pregnancy with A$AP Rocky, who co-chaired the event and walked earlier in a custom AWGE look.

Already parents to sons RZA and Riot, Rihanna and Rocky continue to blend style and family with effortless cool. One thing’s certain: when Rihanna shows up, the spotlight follows.
