Superstar singer and fashion icon Rihanna stunned fans and photographers at the 2025 Met Gala on Monday night, arriving fashionably late—and revealing she is expecting her third child with rapper A$AP Rocky.
The Fenty Beauty mogul made her grand entrance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art shortly after 10 p.m., confirming swirling speculation with a striking maternity ensemble.
Rihanna’s appearance had been anticipated throughout the evening, and her late arrival brought a buzz of excitement to an already star-studded event.
Rihanna, 36, wore a bold suit-inspired look designed by Marc Jacobs, which featured a wool jacket, tailored skirt with a tied-jacket bustle, and a satin polka dot cravat.
The ensemble was paired with a grey corseted bodysuit that showcased her growing baby bump.
Accessories included custom ankle-chain pumps, a Marc Jacobs x Stephen Jones hat, and sparkling Cartier jewellery.
Her partner, A$AP Rocky, served as one of the co-chairs for this year’s event and had already walked the red carpet earlier in the evening.
Rihanna appeared at the venue earlier in the night in a fitted two-piece Miu Miu outfit, subtly revealing her pregnancy before making it official on the red carpet.
This marks the couple’s third child together. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, who welcomed their first child in 2022 and their second in 2023, have continued to draw admiration for blending music, fashion, and family life. Their surprise reveal added an emotional and stylish note to fashion’s biggest night.
Rihanna’s Met Gala history is filled with unforgettable looks.
She made her debut in 2007 and has since become known for consistently delivering some of the most talked-about appearances. Monday’s reveal adds another iconic moment to her fashion legacy.
The theme of the 2025 Met Gala was “The Garden of Time,” and Rihanna’s statement-making look and announcement proved, once again, her mastery of timing and impact.
Fans and media around the world are now eagerly watching for updates as the couple prepares to welcome their third child.
