Pregnant Rihanna offers peak of bare bump as she's spotted in blue ensemble before Met Gala
Rihanna sent her legion of loyal fans into a frenzy on Monday when she rocked up at the Met Gala in New York, proudly revealing her third pregnancy
Rihanna was papped proudly displaying a peak of her baby bump hours before the star-studded Met Gala on Monday. The We Found Love star, 37, sent her legion of loyal fans into a frenzy when she rocked up on the blue carpet in New York, revealing her third pregnancy, sporting a tailored gown and an oversized hat.
Before the fashion extravaganza, which was also attended by the star's partner, A$AP Rocky, Rihanna was seen at the Carlyle Hotel in New York being sheltered from the rain by a huge umbrella. Sporting a baby blue satin top with a matching skirt and boots, the Barbadian showed off her bare bump as she made her way into the plush hotel.
Also sporting a black bucket hat and carrying a fur stole, which was adorned by diamond brooches, Rihanna kept a straight face before preparing for the night's festivities.
In recent weeks, the Umbrella star has been at the centre of speculation over her third pregnancy, but she had remained tight-lipped about her exciting news.
However, as she appeared on the blue carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, her blossoming baby bump took centre stage as the Grammy Award winner cradled her stomach while posing for photographers.
The Rude Boy star was predictably fashion forward as she wore an all-black suit for the event, which was celebrating menswear for the first time in over two decades.
When asked about his partner's outfit and the details behind hit, A$AP told CBS Mornings: "Rihanna's outfit tonight is...I don't know, whatever, just don't really cover her baby hump, ya dig?"
Rihanna's edgy outfit was the brainchild of legendary fashion designer, Marc Jacobs and consisted of a black floor-length skirt, a cropped black jacket and a grey bustier, which perfectly complimented her baby bump.
The singer completed her outfit with a large black hat, a red polka-dot scarf, a pair of black and white heeled shoes - and of course plenty of diamonds.
Meanwhile, A$AP, who was this year's co-host, also looked dapper, rocking a tailored black suit, which he had designed himself. The rapper perfectly channelled this year's theme chosen by Condé Nast boss, Dame Anna Wintour, of Superfine: Tailoring Black Style – with an emphasis on 'Black dandyism'.
Rihanna and A$AP already share two children, son RZA Athelston Mayers, two, and son Riot Rose Mayers, one. And the Met Gala isn't the only major event that the singer has used to unveil her pregnancies.
Like Beyonce did at the MTV VMAs when Blue Ivy was still a baby bump, Rihanna confirmed her second pregnancy in 2023 when she revealed her growing bump during her Super Bowl performance.
During the process, she became the first person to headline the halftime show while pregnant.

Welsh star opens new local skatepark in Cardiff
A new 'destination' skatepark has opened in Llanrumney, with Dirty Sanchez' Matthew Pritchard cutting the ribbon at the long awaited facility and taking the first skate. Plans for the project were first announced by Cardiff Council three years ago as part of the council's Skateboard Amenities project that will see the city filled with new skateparks across the city over the next ten years, subject to funding. Work started on the new park in December 2024 and finally opened today - Friday, June 6. The East Side park in Llanrumney, next to the Eastern Leisure Centre, has multiple obstacles including ledges, rails, hubbas, manual pads, stairs, banks as well as a quarter pipe making it both fun and challenging for those looking to learn or hone their skating skills. The local skateboard community worked with consultants, VDZ+A and Newline Skateparks, to design the 1,000m2 skatepark. Never miss a Cardiff story by signing up to our daily newsletter here It has been designed to be suitable for skaters of all ages and abilities, and is built from concrete, providing a higher quality, lower maintenance and lower noise facility than the old timber-framed skatepark it replaces. Dirty Sanchez star and Welsh skateboarder, Matt Pritchard joined skaters to open the facility. He said: "It's what we need in Cardiff. I'm 52 now, and when I first started skateboarding, we had nothing in Cardiff, so to have facilities like this is amazing. "It's really good for the kids as well, especially now that skateboarding is in the Olympics and is being taken seriously. Fair play to Cardiff Council, they've done an amazing job, and it's nice to see them investing in skateboarding in Cardiff." Cabinet member for culture, parks and events, Cllr Jennifer Burke, said: "This is the first skate park to be built as part of our new skateboard strategy and it's already proving to be a real hit with the city's skate community. "The skate scene in Cardiff is really vibrant and diverse – you've got young children and teenagers, all the way through to older skaters who are now introducing their own kids to what is now an Olympic sport. The new East Side skate park is part of our long-term strategy to support and grow the skateboard community for years to come." Here are pictures of the new skatepark in Llanrumney.

"I genuinely thought she was winding me up and had pretended to swallow it and had it hidden behind her back. "So then I couldn't go home as my mum was night shift at work so I had to phone her at work and tell her what happened, she thought I was winding her up too. I had to stay at my friend's that night."
