South Africans Roast Rihanna’s Maternity Style: “Which Dress Code Is This?”

• Singer Rihanna was recently spotted out in Los Angeles, wearing maternity clothes that had her belly on full display
• South Africans humourously responded to her unusual preggy style, accusing her of dressing like a "farmer"
• The Pon De Replay hitmaker is due to drop her studio album, R9, but is still playing coy on the release date details

She is considered the "inventor of modern maternity," having redefined what it means to be pregnant and stylish.

After her last two pregnancies, Barbadian singer and businesswoman Rihanna has become known for her unique, sometimes daring maternity wear. And now that she's expecting baby number three, her dress sense is no different.

While recently out and about in Los Angeles, California, the 37-year-old was snapped in outfits that had her belly on full display.

The Diamonds songstress previously said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that pregnancy hasn't stopped her passion for fashion.

She said:

"Fashion is one of my favourite things, so, you know, we’re defying what it even means to be pregnant and maternal. It can get uncomfortable at times and so you can dress the part and pretend."

However, while Rihanna may be confident in her choices, South Africans were less than impressed and poked fun online.

"Which dress code is this? "

Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky confirmed the pregnancy at this year's MET Gala following weeks of speculation by eagle-eyed fans.

She showed off her bump in a stunning Marc Jacobs skirt-suit and gushed about growing their family.

"I’m good, shockingly feeling okay," she said.

"And not too overwhelmed at the moment. At first, I was kind of like, tired, but I’m excited."

Rihanna, the megastar and mother

She has clinched nine Grammy awards and topped music charts around the globe. But for Rihanna, nothing tops being a mom.

Speaking with Interview magazine, the singer shared that the only thing she knew she wanted years ago was to be a mother:

"I didn’t know how it would come, but it is the best part of my journey so far. Everything else was a surprise."

The couple welcomed RZA in May 2022 and Riot in August 2023.

Rihanna also gushed about Rocky and his confidence in her ability to be a mother to his kids.

"When someone sees you completely, and believes in you, and thinks you’re worthy of being the mother of their kids, it’s a great feeling," the Savage X Fenty boss said.

"I felt the same about him. I knew he would be a great dad."

Rihanna is back with the music

Rihanna has been teasing fans with the release of her upcoming studio album, R9.

If released this year, the album will come nine years after her last record, Anti.

Fans have been begging Rihanna for new music, but the most they’ve gotten is a soundtrack for the film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever entitled Lift Me Up, along with Friend of Mine from the Smurfs soundtrack.

The singer admitted she hit a wall with the music, but she said she has finally cracked it:

"I know it’s not going to be anything that anybody expects. And it’s not going to be commercial or radio, digestible. It’s going to be where my artistry deserves to be right now."
