Pregnant Rihanna bares her baby bump in a sexy silk co-ord as she joins partner A$AP Rocky at his Met Gala afterparty alongside Heidi Klum, Sabrina Carpenter and Jenna Ortega
Pregnant Rihanna showcased her blossoming baby bump in a sexy silk co-ord as she joined her partner A$AP Rocky at his Met Gala afterparty on Monday night.
The 37-year-old Diamonds singer revealed her third pregnancy in true Rihanna style at the event earlier in the night as she wore a tailored skirt suit.
And the pregnancy fashion display continued as she headed to his afterparty at Jean's in NYC alongside the likes of Heidi Klum, Sabrina Carpenter and Jenna Ortega.
Rihanna looked great in an open silk black shirt and matching long skirt and boosted her height with heels.
She accessorised perfectly with a diamond necklace and silk headband as she caressed her bump.
ASAP meanwhile wore a sharp suit adorned with bright pins and carried a cane with him.
Elsewhere as rain fell across Manhattan island, Sabrina Carpenter and Jenna Ortega were arm-in-arm as they made a beeline for their car following an appearance at A$AP's star-studded Met Gala after-party.
Sabrina, 25, ensured she stood out by wearing a floor length, canary yellow coat over a smart black trouser-suit as they emerged flanked by security guards.
Rihanna was seen in a video posted on X arriving at The Carlyle Hotel in New York City before the annual fashion extravaganza, wearing a light turquoise Miu Miu long sleeve shirt and matching knee-length skirt.
In true Rihanna fashion, the Fenty Beauty founder also had her midriff on full display, showing off her growing baby bump.
The Umbrella singer is already a proud mother to two sons - RZA, two, and Riot, one - whom she shares with boyfriend A$AP Rocky.
The rapper, 36, was named as co-chair for this year's Met Gala, along with Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, Pharrell Williams, and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
The theme for this year's Met Gala is 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.' It explores black dandyism from the 18th century to its revival during the Harlem Renaissance, and its impact on fashion today.
Rihanna, who is notorious for arriving late to Met Gala red carpets, appeared hours away from making her 'blue' carpet debut at the Met Museum, as she headed into the hotel to get ready, rather than towards the museum steps.
In 2023, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky didn't depart the Carlyle Hotel until 10pm for the Met Gala red carpet, arriving after Vogue's livestream of the event had already ended.
On Monday, the singer finally arrived at the Met Museum around 10pm, wearing a black pin-striped dress with a cropped blazer.
She accessorized the look with an oversized hat and a maroon tie with white polka dots.
The singer's pregnancy news comes after she suggested she wanted a third child in December 2023 while speaking to E! News.
When asked if there's anything she is not capable of achieving, Rihanna said: 'So far, have daughters. I'm batting at 75 percent for a boy next time. So, we'll just keep our fingers crossed.'
She also previously said that she would want to be a parent like Teresa Giudice on The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
The Grammy winner told ELLE she liked 'Teresa from Jersey' because she 'does not play about her kids.'
'She will fight for those little girls,' Rihanna stated.
'She will flatten you about those kids. And that resonates with me a lot because I feel like that's the type of mom I'm going to be. Psycho about it...You talk about my kids, it's over.'

The London-born catwalk queen tells the mag's Celebration Issue that, even at 55, she still strives to be better. She said: 'I never said I was perfect. 3 " I'm a work in progress. I can't please everybody. "All that I do is transparent and I am very loyal to the people I love. "I care about the people I love. "I value my long relationships. "In friendships, I don't have time for the word 'frivolous'. "I don't associate with that word, it's not who I am. "When I care, I care… but don't mistake my kindness for weakness.' Naomi began her modelling career when she was just eight-years-old. She went on to become the first black woman to grace the cover of Vogue France and Time magazine in America. Naomi has spent decades on catwalks around the globe but last month she opened up about being nervous before taking to the stage with Usher.

A-ha singer Morten Harket announces Parkinson's disease diagnosis
A-ha's lead singer Morten Harket has announced his diagnosis with Parkinson's disease. The frontman of the Norwegian synth-pop group, known for hits including Take On Me and You Are The One, said he is having issues with his voice due to the condition, which causes parts of the brain to become progressively damaged over many years. His bandmate Magne Furuholmen has said all future A-ha-related activities 'will of course be tuned to suit Morten's situation'. View this post on Instagram A post shared by a-ha (@officialaha) Speaking to a biographer for an article on the A-ha website, Harket, 65, said: 'I've got no problem accepting the diagnosis. With time I've taken to heart my 94-year-old father's attitude to the way the organism gradually surrenders: 'I use whatever works'.' He continued: 'Acknowledging the diagnosis wasn't a problem for me; it's my need for peace and quiet to work that has been stopping me. 'I'm trying the best I can to prevent my entire system from going into decline. 'It's a difficult balancing act between taking the medication and managing its side effects. 'There's so much to weigh up when you're emulating the masterful way the body handles every complex movement, or social matters and invitations, or day-to-day life in general.' Harket underwent a neurosurgical procedure in which electrodes were implanted deep inside the left side of his brain in June 2024 and had a similar procedure on the right side of his brain in December 2024, according to the website article. These electrodes are connected to a small pacemaker-like device placed under the skin of the upper chest that sends electrical impulses through the electrodes into the brain and this method of treatment is called deep brain stimulation (DBS). There is currently no cure for Parkinson's disease but there are treatments like physiotherapy and medication, according to the NHS website. The main symptoms are tremors, slow movement and stiff and inflexible muscles, and Harket also said the condition has affected his voice. 'The problems with my voice are one of many grounds for uncertainty about my creative future,' he said. Asked if he can sing at the moment, he said: 'I don't really know. I don't feel like singing, and for me that's a sign. 'I'm broadminded in terms of what I think works; I don't expect to be able to achieve full technical control. The question is whether I can express myself with my voice. 'As things stand now, that's out of the question. But I don't know whether I'll be able to manage it at some point in the future.' He added: 'For a few years now I've been working on songs that I've got great belief in, and I feel the lyrics, especially, have something of a different aspect of me in them. 'I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish them for release. Time will tell if they make it. 'I really like the idea of just going for it, as a Parkinson's patient and an artist, with something completely outside the box. It's all up to me, I just have to get this out of the way first.' A-ha formed in Oslo in 1982, comprised of guitarist Paul Waaktaar-Savoy, keyboardist Furuholmen and lead singer Harket. The band has had nine top 10 singles in the UK chart, including chart-topping track The Sun Always Shines On TV, and seven top 10 albums. Furuholmen said in an Instagram post on Wednesday: 'It is a day of sad news in a-ha world. Having known about Morten's diagnosis for some time does not take the force out of the blow, nor diminish the impact it has had, and will continue have, on us – as people and as a band. 'Our thoughts are first and foremost with Morten and his family at a difficult time adjusting to the changes that this condition has brought into their lives. 'As the news brings sadness, it is worth to remember through the hurt that there is also a lot of gratitude: for all the amazing memories, for how our combined creative efforts as a band have been so generously embraced by the world, and for how lucky we are that people continue to find meaning, hope and joy in our shared musical legacy. 'All future a-ha-related activities will of course be tuned to suit Morten's situation, but together we will work to try and find ways to give you the best of ourselves. Thank you everyone for all your support, your kind words, and consideration.'
