Rihanna Is Pregnant! See Her 2025 Met Gala Baby Bump Debut
Rihanna chose a very fashionable way to announce her third pregnancy: the 2025 Met Gala red carpet.
Tonight, the singer and Fenty founder showed off her baby bump in a Miu Miu dress as she departed the Carlyle Hotel to walk the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the first Monday in May.
After all, she had to show up and support her man, A$AP Rocky, who is serving as one of the stylish co-chairs this year. And in typical Riri fashion, she did not disappoint with her own look.
Rihanna has always enjoyed a high-profile pregnancy moment: she announced her first while wearing a hot pink Chanel puffer jacket and ornate body chains. A little over a month later, she showed up at the Dior show wearing a sheer black lace babydoll dress that showed off both her stomach and her lingerie underneath. 'When I found out I was pregnant, I thought to myself, There's no way I'm going to go shopping in no maternity aisle. I'm sorry—it's too much fun to get dressed up. I'm not going to let that part disappear because my body is changing,' she told Vogue at the time about her pregnancy style.
This will be her third child with partner A$AP Rocky. Currently, they have an almost three-year-old son RZA and a one-year-old son Riot Rose.
As a seven-time Met Gala attendee, Rihana is a seasoned pro at delivering a head-turning fashion moment on the Met steps. When she first attended in 2007, she went the more classic and glamorous route in a white empire-waist Georges Chakra dress, complete with rhinestone embellishments. As the years have progressed, however, her Met Gala looks have only gotten more elaborate and avant-garde.
One of her most famous Met Gala looks to date was back in 2015, when Rihanna hit the red carpet in a yellow Guo Pei coat-dress featuring an elaborate 16-foot train. In 2018, for 'Heavenly Bodies,' she made internet waves in a Maison Margiela papal look. For her most recent appearance, meanwhile—at the 2023 Karl Lagerfeld-themed exhibition—she chose a white Valentino floral cape and gown.
Tonight, however, she and Rocky proved yet again that the Met is their event. Everyone else comes close.

Chinese Labubu doll sparks global shopping frenzy fueling billions of dollars
They're scary, but cute – and taking the internet by storm as customers race to get their hands on Labubus. Distributed exclusively by Chinese-based retailer Pop Mart, it's become near impossible to buy one of the plush pendant toy collectibles as they sell out online almost nightly, and people wait in hours-long lines to purchase them in-person. Advertisement But what is a Labubu? And why do people care so much about it? Labubu was founded by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, who became inspired by Nordic supernatural folklore and children's imaginative abilities to create Labubu and the larger 'Monsters' figurine series. Despite the first Labubu hitting the market in 2015, demand still outpaces supply in 2025. They quickly gained popularity after being sported on the designer bags of celebrities like Rihanna, Dua Lipa, BLACKPINK's Lisa, David Beckham, Emma Roberts, Hillary Duff, Kim Kardashian and countless others. Advertisement Labubus cost anywhere between $21.99 and $39.99, and its most popular form comes as a fluffy, plush pendant with an attachable clip. They're sold in 'blind boxes,' which means customers won't know what variety of Labubu they got until it's opened. However, Labubu products are regularly out of stock in Pop Mart's online store and app. In-person restockings happen at their stores once a week at 10 a.m. every Friday, and social media users have posted long lines that tend to be hundreds of people deep. 3 Shoppers have been waiting in hours-long lines to purchase a Labubu. AFP via Getty Images Advertisement 3 Labubu gained popularity when celebrities featured the toy on their designer bags. AP In the United Kingdom, Pop Mart announced it would stop selling Labubu products in their stores for safety reasons following reported brawls that had broken out among customers. To make the supply-demand imbalance worse, so-called reseller 'bots' allegedly sweep Pop Mart's website and app for new drops, and buy Labubus in mass quantities. On resale platforms like StockX, rare editions have asking prices of up to $450. Advertisement Labubu has even sparked counterfeit admiration, with some customers opting for a knock-off version dubbed 'Lafufu,' often with a much cheaper price tag and manufacturing differences. 3 Labubu is distributed exclusively by Chinese-based retailer Pop Mart. AFP via Getty Images Pop Mart did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment, or clarification on whether US-China trade tensions could bump up Labubu's regular retail prices even higher. Some social media users have started sharing what they call 'Labubu-nomics,' or buying methods that seem to be effective in beating out bots. There's a supposed URL-editing trick, a rapid thumb-clicking method and regularly checking Pop Mart's third-party stores via Amazon and TikTok shop livestreams. Last month, Pop Mart CEO and Chairman Wang Ning became $1.6 billion richer in a single day due to American buyers lining up for their own Labubu, Forbes reported.

Labubu toy sculpture sold for $150,000 at China auction
A Beijing auction house has sold a four-foot-tall sculpture of a viral plush toy character for more than $150,000, as global demand for the Chinese-designed Labubu dolls reaches fever pitch. The rabbit-like figures sporting mischievous grins began as a character created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, and are made by Beijing-based toy brand Pop Mart. They have been endorsed by celebrities such as Rihanna and Dua Lipa, and fans have queued overnight outside stores hoping to snag one, with analysts pointing to the phenomenon as evidence of China's growing soft power. On Tuesday, a teal sculpture depicting a Labubu character with a furry body and head fetched an eye-watering 1.08 million yuan ($150,260) at an auction held in Beijing, according to the auction house's app. The sculpture is "the only piece of its kind in the world", according to Yongle International Auction. It was offered alongside other Labubu paraphernalia including a brown statue that sold for 820,000 yuan. Pop Mart has over 400 stores globally, including 30 US branches. The worldwide frenzy has seen people go to desperate lengths to acquire their own Labubu. Last month a London branch of Pop Mart suspended in-store sales of the toys, fearing violence from would-be buyers who failed to get their hands on the limited-edition Labubus. In Singapore, CCTV footage captured a family stealing Labubu dolls from a claw machine, according to Singaporean online media outlet AsiaOne. Burglars broke into a store in California last week and took several Labubu dolls along with electronics and other valuables, American news outlet ABC reported. In China, the toys have been promised as freebies for new bank customers -- an incentive quickly shut down by local regulators, according to Chinese media reports. The toys have spawned a booming resale market as well as an online community of fans sharing tips on how to customise their dolls. Knockoffs -- many of which are also made in China -- have flooded online platforms, dubbed "Lafufus" by social media users. tjx/reb/dhc

Khaby Lame: World's biggest TikTok star leaves US after being detained by ICE
Khaby Lame, the world's most popular TikTok personality, has left the US after being detained by federal agents. An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokesperson said the Senegalese-Italian influencer - who has 162.2m followers on TikTok - was detained on Friday at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas after he "overstayed the terms of his visa". The 25-year-old had arrived in the US on 30 April, the ICE spokesperson added, and was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order by a voluntary departure. Those with a deportation order on their records can be prevented from being allowed back into the US for up to a decade. While in the US, Lame - whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame - attended the Met Gala and the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute benefit gala in New York City. He became famous online during the COVID-19 pandemic, where he would react to complicated life hack videos without saying a word. With millions of followers, he signed a multi-year partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss in 2022, and was appointed as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador in January this year. Read more: He has not publicly commented on his detention, and has continued posting on TikTok since. Sky News has approached his representatives for comment.
