SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA: On June 10, Rihanna made a fashionable appearance in Santa Monica for a late-night dinner. The 35-year-old superstar singer effortlessly showcased her pregnancy style in a chic snakeskin print coat and a hoodie dress, paired with stunning stilettos.
Radiating confidence, Rihanna turned heads as she gracefully walked to her favorite restaurant, Giorgio Baldi, with her blossoming baby bump elegantly concealed by her edgy ensemble. The singer, who is eagerly anticipating the arrival of her second child with her partner A$AP Rocky, 34, completed her look with a designer handbag.
Her dress hood was pulled up, partially covering her hair, but her striking makeup, highlighted by a bold red lip, stole the spotlight. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcomed their first child, a son, in March of last year and are now eagerly awaiting the arrival of their second child.
Details under wraps
Last month, it was revealed that the pop star named her son RZA Athelston Mayers, an exclusive detail obtained from the little boy's birth certificate. The name pays homage to the renowned producer and rapper RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan. Previously, fans had speculated that the child's name might be Noah, but the true name remained a secret for nearly a year.
Rihanna unveiled her second pregnancy during her show-stopping Super Bowl halftime performance in Glendale, Arizona, on February 12. As with her previous pregnancy, Rihanna is keeping details about her second child under wraps, including the baby's gender. It remains unclear if she intends to maintain the same level of secrecy regarding her second child's name.
‘What the heck am I thinking?’
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have been close friends and collaborators for over a decade, and their romantic relationship was officially confirmed in late 2020. Following the Super Bowl and pregnancy announcement, the couple graced the cover of British Vogue in March. In the interview, Rihanna affectionately described Rocky as her "best friend" and expressed how becoming a mother had transformed her life, making it difficult to remember what life was like before welcoming her son in May 2022. “It's everything. You really don't remember life before, that's the craziest thing ever,” she said.
Motherhood has brought immense joy and confidence to the singer, inspiring her to accept the Super Bowl performance opportunity just months after giving birth to her first child, marking her return to the stage after seven years. “It's this knowing that you can do anything, even things that seem the craziest, like, 'I'm going to say yes to the Super Bowl in the middle of postpartum?'' she said. Rihanna continued, “What the heck am I thinking? But you're geeked on a challenge like that because you know what your body just did. You feel this sense of 'Nothing is impossible.”
