Pregnant Rihanna flashes her bare baby bump in sheer bra as she shows off necklaces with her sons' names
The superstar, 37, put on a sultry display in a sheer bralette from her lingerie brand paired with a baggy, navy blue suit while leaving a late night dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica.
During her outing, she showed off two gold pendant necklaces with her beloved sons' names on them.
The Savage Fenty founder, who is very pregnant with her third child, nearly suffered a wardrobe malfunction with her blazer open paired with an unknotted, polkadot tie paired with her see-through lingerie.
She is currently expecting her third child with her boyfriend, rapper ASAP Rocky, with whom she already shares sons RZA, three, and Riot, nearly two.
Her late night outing comes shortly after she was spotted out in another chic, bump-baring ensemble and made a red carpet debut with both of her sons at the Smurfs premiere.
For her late night outing, she slicked back her raven black hair into a low ponytail and opted for a light but dewy makeup look to showcase her natural beauty.
She looked effortlessly chic in the early hours of Sunday morning after enjoying a late night dinner at the celebrity-frequented hotspot.
The nine-time Grammy winner previously revealed her pregnancy news several weeks ago when she showed off her baby bump at the Met Gala back in May.
Just last week, she dished on motherhood as she is expecting her third baby.
She told Access Hollywood that her 'two princes' RZA and Riot have a ton of energy that wear her out when she attended the Smurfs premiere in Los Angeles last Sunday.
She is the voice actor for Smurfette in the new animated musical-comedy film and brought along her kids for the red carpet event ahead of the movie's release in theaters on July 18.
It comes just days after the singer attended her father's funeral in her native country of Barbados this week — after he passed away at the age of 70 on May 30 following a battle with pancreatic cancer and accompanying complications.
During an interview with Extra at the Smurfs premiere on Sunday, she opened up about her little ones joining her at the screening.
'I'm excited for tonight. Tonight is going to be fun. We get to watch the movie together for the first time. I get to watch it in its full completion. So, that should be interesting,' she expressed.
When questioned how RZA and Riot feel about another addition to their growing family, Rihanna said they were 'delighted' followed by laughter.
However, she remained coy when asked if she was possibly going to welcome a baby girl.
'You'll have to wait and see,' the Love On The Brain hitmaker said, but later said that she has 'always wanted a girl.'
And then when asked if the name of her third child could also start with the letter 'R,' Rihanna replied, 'I mean, of course. It's tradition at this point.'
The star's appearance at the screening this weekend comes after she flew to Barbados to attend her father Ronald Fenty's funeral which was held in Barbados on Tuesday.

Why on earth does J D Vance want to holiday in the Cotswolds?
In 1925, if Charles G Dawes, the US Republican vice-president and future ambassador to the United Kingdom, had taken his vacation in Britain, it is unlikely that the Cotswolds would have been on his itinerary. London, certainly, to meet the prime minister, Stanley Baldwin; and perhaps Scotland for the grouse shooting. But a century ago, the Cotswolds were a picturesque agrarian backwater. The novelist Nancy Mitford, who grew up by the Windrush valley, immortalised her childhood landscape in The Pursuit of Love as a place inhabited by backwoods peers and their gamekeepers, with fox hunting the only distraction from the prevailing rustic ennui. The pretty villages and rolling hills of the Cotswolds have captivated artists and writers, from William Morris and T S Eliot to Jilly Cooper's racy Rutshire chronicles and Armistead Maupin, whose most recent novel, Mona of the Manor, is a camp romp set in Gloucestershire. In summer the residents brace themselves for the coach parties that throng the quaint streets. But they are currently braced for sightings of a different sort of vehicle: the armoured SUVs of the vice-presidential security detail, escorting J D Vance and his family to their holiday home. The transformation of the Cotswolds from a beautiful and rather private swathe of middle English landscape to a hub of high-wattage celebrity and political power has been a gradual process, with dramatic effects. Resident celebs – invariably voluble about the charm of a simple, rustic life – include Kate Moss, David Beckham, Damien Hirst and Idris Elba. And the group of political and media figures known as the Chipping Norton set (whose supposed members deny that any such entity exists) includes the former prime minister, David Cameron (now Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton), the television presenter, farmer, shopkeeper and publican, Jeremy Clarkson, the News International executive, Rebekah Brooks and her husband, the racing columnist Charlie Brooks, the media executive Elisabeth Murdoch and her then husband, Matthew Freud, et al. The Spectator magazine reports that 'apparently senior British political figures, who have knowledge of the Cotswolds social scene' are helping with the Vance family's holiday arrangements. Where power congregates, so does the necessary infrastructure, and the Cotswolds is now lavishly supplied with facilities that might attract a US vice-president in search of some R&R: private members' clubs, each more exclusive than the last, pubs owned by celebs and an American-owned deli in Stow-on-the-Wold. Local estate agents report a surge in wealthy American clients seeking to settle permanently in the area. In the vanguard were the comedian Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, who sought sanctuary in the UK after the election of President Trump. DeGeneres enthuses about their new life: 'Everything here is just better,' she told the broadcaster Richard Bacon. 'People are polite.' The Vance family will hope she is right about the politeness: their recent US vacations were bedevilled by protests, and there are rumours of 'resistance' in the Cotswolds. Meanwhile the Americanisation continues apace. All that is missing is a reality show, along the lines of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. But in Charlbury, preparations have begun for a pilot with a cast of unspeakably glossy and well-connected residents – rumoured working title, Ladies of the Cotswolds. What fun Nancy Mitford would have had with it all.

Nicola Benedetti on marrying a man 25 years her senior
As one of the best-known violinists in the world, Nicola Benedetti enjoys a stellar public profile. Yet she has maintained a strict secrecy around her private life, even though it has been long-rumoured in music circles. Now she has confirmed for the first time that she is married to Wynton Marsalis, the celebrated jazz musician who is 25 years her senior, and they have a baby daughter. They met professionally when she was 17 and he was 42, and much later began a romantic relationship. Benedetti has publicly shared the joys of motherhood but did not, until now, confirm the identity of the father. Speaking to the Telegraph, Benedetti, 38, said of her marriage to Marsalis, 63, who counts former US president Barack Obama among his admirers: 'I think it's pretty much out there now. I really don't care any more if people want to write about it or not.' Explaining why she has not talked about her relationship with Marsalis, with whom she has collaborated on musical projects for many years, Benedetti said: 'I don't tend to discuss my private life because people don't come to my concerts because of whom I'm in a relationship with. They come because I play the violin.' Benedetti was 17 when she travelled to New York to attend the American Academy of Achievement summit as a student-delegate. A year earlier, she had won the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition. She performed in the company of Marsalis, a trumpeter who was the first jazz musician to receive the Pulitzer Prize. 'When we met then, I was already a huge fan, and we just kept in touch as good friends,' Benedetti once explained. Marsalis has said they felt 'a certain type of kinship'. Many years later, Marsalis wrote a violin concerto for Benedetti, although in a joint interview they joked about not remembering who had proposed the idea. Marsalis said: 'It's like a scene from When Harry Met Sally. I don't know if I said it or she said it.' They have continued to collaborate and perform together. Benedetti, from Ayrshire in Scotland, is artistic director of the Edinburgh International Festival and had her daughter in May 2024. Marsalis also has a teenage daughter and two adult sons from previous relationships. The 'Pied Piper' of jazz Marsalis started playing the trumpet at the age of six and went on to become a key figure in the jazz renaissance of the 1980s. He has been credited with rekindling interest in the genre, has been referred to as the 'Pied Piper' of jazz and won nine Grammy awards during his career. He is currently the artistic director of Jazz at the Lincoln Center, in New York. Benedetti told the Telegraph that she has begun to question her upbringing, during which her mother made her and her older sister practise the violin for three hours every day during the school holidays. 'My daughter is only one, but my sister has two children, aged three and five, and seeing her experience has definitely made me consider my own childhood,' she said. 'But both of us have a realistic, even a positive view of our upbringing. It was very strict – we feared upsetting our parents, or doing the wrong thing – but we also knew we were loved to death by our mum and dad.' She believes that today's young people are less willing to make the sacrifices required to become a world-class musician, saying: 'I think young people have become used to a lack of basic discipline in their daily lives – and that really worries me.'

Nigerians lead the world in fashion visas for Britain
More Nigerians have been granted British visas for their expertise in fashion than people from any other country, Telegraph analysis of official data shows. Nigerians have applied for by far the highest number of global talent visas that offer entry to the UK for fashion designers, as well as being granted the most approvals. The British Fashion Council – a not-for-profit company – has been given powers to endorse applications on behalf of the Home Office, which then has the final sign-off on granting the visas. The council receives about £2 million each year from the Department of Culture, Media and Sport to promote British fashion. The organisation has actively sought to increase ethnic diversity in the fashion industry, particularly in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. From 2019 to 2024, there have been 291 Nigerian applications for fashion visas, far more than any other country. The second highest number were from Chinese designers, who submitted 67 applications. The number of fashion applications from Nigeria has risen from just three in 2019 to 145 in 2024. In the same time period, 71 Nigerian applications have been endorsed by the Fashion Council – more than any other nationality. Word of the visa route has spread online, and The Telegraph has seen numerous videos on social media featuring Nigerian designers offering advice on how to enter the UK on the global talent fashion visa. One advises viewers who 'are looking to stay put' in the UK: 'Don't limit yourself to the post-study work permit, there are so many options.' The visa route has a number of criteria for applicants, who are tasked with proving their talent or YouTube promise. This includes providing proof of sales and 'international media attention'. Some designers offering advice online have found that criteria for this media attention can be met by local newspaper stories from their home country. One said they simply shared a screenshot of a blog that mentioned their work. Another said that they used discussions on Instagram in their application to prove sales had been made. The increase in application for the global talent fashion visa comes amid a growing interest in African designers. In 2022-23, the Victoria and Albert Museum hosted a popular exhibition titled African Fashion. The Arise Fashion Week in Lagos has been running for 13 years, and the showcase of African fashion has been endorsed by British supermodel and designer Naomi Campbell. There has also been a broader surge in applications for talent visas from Nigeria. The Telegraph previously revealed that people in Nigeria have made the most applications for entry to the UK via the global talent visa route for 'literature', which covers professed 'poets' and oral 'storytellers' Since 2019, Nigerians have made 729 across artistic global talent categories – dance, fashion, music, film and TV, theatre, combined arts and visual arts – second only to the US, with 977. Despite the volume of applications, Nigerians have just 59 per cent of them endorsed – the lowest of any country apart from Ghana. Since 2019, more than 5,000 applications have been made by all nationalities, with 3,600 endorsed by the Arts Council. The Home Office does not break down figures on how many of these endorsements then lead to visas being signed off by Whitehall officials.
