Rihanna, the multi-Grammy Award winner, recently shared her unique approach to maternity fashion in an interview with the BBC.

The singer, who has two sons with rapper A$AP Rocky, revealed that she refused to buy traditional maternity clothes during her pregnancies.

Instead, Rihanna embraced her own sense of style and creativity, opting to wear whatever fit her and challenging herself to get clever with her wardrobe. She demonstrated this approach at the launch party of her latest collaboration with Puma.

Throughout her pregnancies, Rihanna maintained her signature style by putting her own twist on fashion. She mentioned how her fashion choices evolved with each pregnancy, from being able to wear heels throughout her first pregnancy to getting creative with her wardrobe during her second pregnancy.

After the birth of her second child, Rihanna found herself getting too comfortable in robes, pajamas, and sweats but has recently rediscovered herself and her love for fashion. She emphasized the importance of giving herself mental space to approach her closet and create new looks, especially as a mother of two young children.

Rihanna’s maternity style has been widely praised for pushing the boundaries and challenging traditional norms. Fashion critics and experts have applauded her for changing the narrative around maternity fashion and making it more inclusive and accessible. By incorporating high fashion elements into everyday outfits, Rihanna has redefined what a pregnancy wardrobe can include.

Despite stepping away from music in recent years, Rihanna has continued to make waves in the business world. As a self-made billionaire, she has built a successful empire with her makeup and skincare brand Fenty Beauty and lingerie brand Savage x Fenty. Her recent live performances, including the Super Bowl half-time show in 2023, have further solidified her status as a cultural icon.
