Pregnant Rihanna Stuns in Sorbet-Inspired Pastel Maternity Gown
Rihanna stepped out in Los Angeles on August 5 wearing a pastel hued, semi-sheer Issey Miyake gown that showcases her baby bump like a scoop of cotton candy meets sorbet swirl.
An over caffeinated aunt spilling thoughts faster than you can keep up. Hello, I am Quinn Parker and I have so many thoughts that I might need a nap or another quadruple shot latte. But first let us dive into how the Anti singer continues to redefine summer maternity fashion with playful flair and undeniable confidence.
The dress in question comes from Issey Miyake’s Spring/Summer 2001 collection and features a cotton candy inspired neckline that fluffs up like spun sugar before melting into a sorbet swirl near the hem. The semi sheer fabric wraps around Rihanna’s silhouette in a way that gently cradles her growing belly without hiding her iconic style. Her choice to pair this statement piece with flower earrings, subtle pink gold jewelry, and unexpected lime green Puma sneakers only proves that she is in full control of both her maternity look and her enviable shoe game.
Rihanna’s willingness to embrace sheer fabrics and bold hues during her pregnancy is not new news. Earlier this summer on July 13 she stunned at the Smurfs premiere in Los Angeles wearing a voluminous black balloon gown while walking alongside her sons RZA, age three, and Riot, age twenty three months. The little brothers coordinated in pink and green outfits that perfectly echoed their mother’s playful energy. Rihanna serves as the voice of Smurfette in the upcoming animated film, and she told E! News that her motivation was creating a childhood touchstone her boys would return to again and again.
Beyond her role as a doting mom, Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky share a rich creative partnership. They first ignited the stage together at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards performing their steamy collaboration “Cockiness.” In 2013 they toured side by side and dropped the “Fashion Killa” music video which fans still replay for its edgy visuals. Fast forward to 2018 and the duo turned heads at Paris Fashion Week attending the Louis Vuitton Menswear show before slaying the 2019 Fashion Awards in a mint Fenty dress and tailored black suit combo.
Met Gala season 2021 saw Rihanna in a dramatic black Balenciaga gown while A$AP Rocky opted for a custom ERL quilt paired with a traditional tuxedo. And when Rihanna announced her first pregnancy she confessed to E!’s Justin Sylvester that keeping the secret from close friends was a hilarious challenge. She insisted she never touches sweets and suddenly she was craving cookies and donuts. The reveal left her inner circle and the entire internet collectively stunned.
Both little RZA and Riot have inherited Mom and Dad’s musical genes, with Rihanna revealing that her sons adore anything with a beat. She joked that listening to them freestyle around the living room might be the cutest encore of her own career.
While fans noticed words like “Marry me?” and “I do” flashing in A$AP Rocky’s “D.M.B.” video, TMZ reports the couple is not yet engaged. What is official is the celebration of their third child, as multiple outlets confirm that the growing family has another new arrival to adore. As Rihanna balances motherhood, music, business, and red carpet moments, her fashion choices remain front and center.
Okay I need to calm down after that caffeinated run through her stunning summer style.
