Pushing the idea of sexy maternity dressing, singer and soon-to-be mom Rihanna made a jaw-dropping entrance at the Dior AW22 show in Paris. The ‘Under My Umbrella’ hitmaker graced the event wearing a lace-trimmed tulle dress and paired it with a Dior Fall22 coat.
Even though the internet had a field day discussing her choice of outfit, with some calling it too “sexy” or too “risqué”! Rihanna did make pregnancy look HOT! Period.
In an interview with Refinery29 in February, the Fenty founder expressed her views on pregnancy and how society tends to make you feel like you need to ‘hide your sexy’. Rihanna was quoted as saying: “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 sh*t. 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. (sic)”
Rihanna has always been a badass when it comes to fashion and style. Be it her music or her onstage appearances, there’s no one like RiRi. So, when it came to breaking the news about her pregnancy, Rihanna did it in style!
She flaunted her baby bump in a hot pink Chanel puffer coat from the 1996 collection and accessorised the look with a Christian Lacroix gemstone crucifix necklace. She wore the coat over a pair of jeans adorned with a Chanel belt.
