Ever since Rihanna announced her first pregnancy with A$AP Rocky last Monday in an epic look that featured a hot pink knee-length Chanel puffer jacket and belly chains, she’s made it clear that her vision of maternity style is here to shake things up. She’s worn everything from a black lace-up Jean Paul Gaultier top and low rise pants to accentuate her baby bump, to a showstopping vintage denim and leopard print patchworked coat paired with jeans and a Fendi crop top—all while dripping in plenty of dazzling Jacquie Aiche gold body chains, naturally.
Making her red carpet debut as a mom-to-be last night, however, Rihanna may have pulled off her most dazzling maternity look yet. Opting for a more pared-back look—pared-back for Rihanna, anyway—the musician and mogul attended a launch event for her Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin lines in Los Angeles wearing a thrillingly skin-baring outfit by the cult Italian brand The Attico. The lime green top and silver-purple ombré trousers were crafted from countless squared sequins strung together to create a shredded effect, while the look was topped off with a pair of amethyst and diamond Chopard earrings, Messika diamond rings, and a pair of trusty Manolo Blahnik python sandals.
Many have already paid tribute to Rihanna’s fearless approach to ripping up the maternity fashion rulebook. Instead of covering up her baby bump in loose-fitting knits and wrap dresses, she’s simply adapted her signature blend of high-octane glamour and streetwear pieces for her new figure, celebrating and spotlighting the beauty of impending motherhood while honouring her own individual style. It’s a major turning point in her life—so why wouldn’t she go for some joyous, agenda-setting looks to reflect that? With her latest outfit, she’s continued to do just that.
