  • Over two pregnancies since 2022, Rihanna has rocked many daring maternity looks.
  • She's worn outfits that are entirely see-through, denim gowns, and multiple pairs of heels.
  • The musician and Fenty founder has also shown an appreciation for form-fitting ensembles.

Rihanna's first red-carpet outfit while pregnant was made from tiny strings that created a see-through effect.

Her colorful outfit designed by The Attico featured a green halter top that showed her baby bump, and pink ombré pants crafted with the same string design.

She wore the two pieces with strappy metallic heels, diamond jewelry, and a statement red lip to a Fenty event in February 2022.

She took things a step further in March 2022, wearing see-through lingerie to a Dior fashion show.

Her risqué outfit included a black bra and matching underwear worn underneath a lace slip dress.

She also accessorized with layered chain necklaces, a diamond choker, a leather duster jacket, and heeled, pointed boots that reached her calves.

Rihanna mixed daring and glamorous styles for a Fenty event a few days later, wearing a bralette top that showed her sternum tattoo.

Her Coperni outfit also included a sparkle-covered column skirt and a diamond body chain from Messika draped across her belly.

To announce her second pregnancy in February 2023, the musician wore a custom Loewe ensemble at the Super Bowl.

The main piece of her vibrant outfit was a red jumpsuit that Rihanna wore open.

In doing so, she revealed her baby bump for the first time, as well as the opaque, high-neck top she wore underneath a sculpted breastplate.

Out of all the daring maternity looks Rihanna has worn so far, the leather dress she chose for the 2023 Oscars might be her best.

Designed by Alaïa, the dark-brown garment had a sheer, long-sleeved top underneath a leather bralette and low-rise skirt.

The latter piece reached the floor, extended into a train, and had thin slits across each hip.

She even managed to keep her fashion bold while completely concealing her baby bump in April.

At CinemaCon that month, Rihanna stepped onstage wearing a shapeless denim dress from  Y/Project.

She also wore matching pants and heeled boots from the brand, which completed the baggy look.

The Fenty founder proved she isn't afraid to mix prints and textures with a maternity outfit in May.

For a New York City outing, she paired a gray, fur-covered halter top with a brown-leather miniskirt and snake-skin-print heels. The sandals were especially bold thanks to thin straps that criss-crossed up her legs.

She also wore a two-toned fur coat draped across her shoulders and statement sunglasses with white frames.

Most recently, Rihanna wore a skin-baring, form-fitting gown for a Spotify event featuring her partner, A$AP Rocky.
