Rihanna refuses to wear special maternity clothes because dressing up is “too much fun”. The star rocks stylish cropped tops and bras and confidently shows off her baby bump. Most fans love her maternity style, however, some disapprove of her outfit choices, calling them too “revealing” and “inappropriate”.
Rihanna is pregnant with her second child.
The star welcomed her first child with A$AP Rocky in May 2022. Later Rihanna announced her second pregnancy during her 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show. So far, the due date has been kept in secret. However, it’s rumored that the baby will be born in 2023.
She often shows off her bold maternity looks.
Before the announcement, the singer used to wear thick coats and hide her pregnancy with distracting colors. Now the star embraces her baby bump and exposes it whenever possible. Comfy sports bras, cropped tops, and even unbuttoned jeans — Rihanna has her own cool maternity style.
The singer was criticized for her style.
In January, the couple did a pregnancy photoshoot where Rihanna bared her stomach. Someone wrote, “I’m getting old because I saw those Rihanna pics and was thinking: It’s too cold for her to be bearing that bump like that, baby’s probably freezing.” “Congrats to Rihanna and Rocky, but please cover up, it’s cold.” Some people also believe Rihanna’s style is too revealing and inappropriate.
Rihanna responded to the criticism.
The celebrity mom is aware of the criticism regarding her style. She explains her outfit choices, “When I found out I was pregnant, I thought to myself, there’s no way I’m going to go shopping in a maternity aisle.”
She adds, “My body’s doing incredible things right now, and I’m not going to be ashamed of that. Why should you be hiding your pregnancy?” She finished off with a bold statement, “I’m sorry, it’s too much fun to get dressed up, and I’m not going to let that part disappear because my body is changing.”
It’s not the first time Rihanna has been criticized by her fans. Once she was frowned upon for calling her son “fine”. The star responded like the queen she is.

My Parents Didn’t Show up for My School Graduation — Their Excuse Is Ridiculous
This story paints a bittersweet picture of resilience in the face of repeated disappointment, highlighting how family isn’t always defined by blood but by those who show up when it matters. Britt’s experience with her mom and stepfather is heartbreaking—they consistently let her down over trivial issues, never recognizing the significance of her accomplishments or the impact of their absence. Through it all, though, Justin and his family became Britt’s true support system, stepping in when her own family couldn’t.
Her decision to distance herself after her high school graduation showed strength, and yet, years later, her willingness to give them another chance speaks to her forgiving nature. Unfortunately, the second letdown underscored a painful truth: some people, no matter how much you hope or forgive, will not change their priorities.
Britt’s journey reminds us that we don’t have to keep waiting for people who continually disappoint us. The relationships we choose can be just as strong and meaningful as those we’re born into. It’s a story of finding strength in oneself and in those who truly show up, and a reminder that we have the right to redefine family to include those who respect and support us.
