Back in February, the R&B songstress shared her take on maternity fashion in an interview with Refinery29. At the time, Rihanna had said, “Right now I’m really into pushing the idea of sexy. When women get pregnant, society tends to make it feel like you hide, hide your sexy, and that you’re not sexy right now [but] you’ll get back there and I don’t believe in that shit. So I’m trying stuff that I might not have even had the confidence to try before I was pregnant. The strappiest, the thinnest, and the more cut-outs the better for me.”
For the unversed, Rihanna is in the third trimester of her pregnancy and is expecting her first child with Rocky.
