At the recent launch of Fenty Beauty Avenue at Sephora Champs Elysées in Paris, Rihanna’s choice of attire (a strapless gold gown) has ignited speculation regarding a possible pregnancy.
The renowned singer and entrepreneur donned a dress that featured an unconventional design around the midsection, leading fans and media outlets to question if she might be expecting.
This isn’t the first time Rihanna’s fashion choices have sparked such rumors. In the past, she has been known to embrace bold and unique styles that challenge conventional norms. Notably, during her first pregnancy in 2022, Rihanna redefined maternity fashion by opting for revealing and stylish outfits that showcased her baby bump. For instance, she attended the Off-White Fall 2022 fashion show in Paris wearing a peach-colored leather mini dress paired with a matching shearling coat, accessorized with layered chain necklaces and knee-high strappy heels.

At the Dior Autumn Winter 2022 show during Paris Fashion Week, she made headlines by wearing a sheer black dress that openly displayed her growing belly, further solidifying her reputation for embracing daring maternity styles.
While the recent Paris appearance has led to renewed pregnancy rumors, it’s important to note that Rihanna has not made any official statements confirming or denying these speculations. Fans and media alike should exercise caution and avoid jumping to conclusions based solely on fashion choices. Rihanna’s history of pushing fashion boundaries means that her clothing selections may not necessarily indicate personal news.
