On Friday the 13th, a star was born. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky introduced a baby boy to the world. He was born in Los Angeles, but we do not know his name. Of course, it’s no surprise that we don’t know his name yet, as Rihanna said she would be a very protective mom in the past. She has also started a new wave for pregnant women, which shouldn’t come as a surprise. The Barbadian always goes the extra mile when she is in the spotlight!

Pregnant Rihanna

It seemed like everyone enjoyed seeing Rihanna out and about while she was pregnant. Showing her belly while holding hands with her husband, A$AP Rocky caught the hearts of America. Many wondered how she looked so good pregnant, and Rihanna shared her tips. On Instagram, she shared her bedtime skincare routine. Of course, using only Fenty products, she uses a detoxifying face mask and a body moisturizer. The Grammy-winning artist also displayed her Savage X Fenty sleepwear, wearing a satin bralette with matching boxers. The detoxifying face mask is her new Cookies N Clean Whipped Clay Detox Face Mask. The body moisturizer is her Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream.

Pregnancy Trendsetter

Rihanna wanted to change the typical narrative about pregnant women. Therefore, she can be seen wearing see-through lace lingerie, robes, and catsuits in public.

“I’m hoping that we were able to redefine what’s considered ‘decent’ for pregnant women. My body is doing incredible things right now, and I’m not going to be ashamed of that”, said Rihanna in a Vogue interview.

Her pregnancy is so iconic that there was a statue of her at this year’s Met Gala! Unfortunately, she didn’t even attend the prominent event. Other artists such as Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, and MIA have made headlines for appearing at events while pregnant, but none have made quite the noise Rihanna has. This was a risk for Rihanna to take, but she’s a trendsetter. So she was up for the challenge.

According to Pinterest, since Rihanna has been in public showing her naked baby belly, searches for lace maternity gowns have increased. Rihanna’s maternity style is appearing in searches as well. Crop tops and low-rise jeans are selling more amongst maternity brands. Rihanna is ushering in a new wave for pregnant women. Historically, women hid their pregnancies, and pregnant women are usually not considered for fashion shoots. But Rihanna is changing the narrative with both. She didn’t let pregnancy define her. She defined pregnancy.
