Rihanna BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Rihanna once again became the center of attention at the 2025 Met Gala in May where she and A$AP Rocky confirmed they are expecting their third child. The moment was pure Rihanna: understated yet it dominated headlines, with fashion media and major outlets like The Sun describing how her Marc Jacobs gown framed her growing baby bump as she walked the carpet hand in hand with Rocky. Public sentiment was immediate and intense, not just celebrating the expansion of her family but also her ability to redefine red-carpet pregnancy glamor. Entertainment Tonight captured her trademark wit when, before the event, she joked about having no idea what she would wear and quipped that Rocky is “always willing to help” with her fashion choices.

In the days since, Rihanna has been photographed several times in Los Angeles embracing maternity style that is anything but subdued. On September 3, paparazzi captured her in baggy jeans and a cropped tee, her bump front and center. She followed up days later with an appearance in a pastel floor-length dress paired with lime sneakers and massive jewelry, cementing her reputation as a maternity fashion muse. AOL and other celebrity outlets point to how Rihanna now raises the bar for maternity style, inspiring both designers and everyday women.

On the business side, Rihanna’s empire continues to expand. Her Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty brands remain at the top of their industries. According to analysis by Ladies Entrepreneurship Club, she actively steers her brand, engages her massive social media following, and still appears directly in marketing, making each launch an event. Fenty’s radical focus on inclusivity and Savage X Fenty’s embrace of body positivity have forced widespread industry change—a phenomenon still referred to as the "Fenty Effect." Additionally, events like “Rihanna Night” at major clubs show her influence on pop culture nightlife, even when she is not present.

Speculation swirls on social media about a potential wedding with A$AP Rocky and whether this baby will finally bring a daughter into their family. Fans continue to clamor for new music and the much-mythologized “R9” album, especially after her teasing comments at Met Gala interviews about “a couple videos, but I can sing.” While she remains coy, industry outlets and fans alike now wonder if motherhood will inspire her long-awaited musical return or perhaps even spark a children’s line under the Fenty brand in step with her growing family.

Rihanna’s public and business activities over the past few days weave a familiar narrative—one of dominance across music, fashion, cosmetics, and culture—proof that as she crafts her next chapter, the world always seems to watch and wonder what she will do next.
