Pregnant Rihanna continues to tear up maternity rulebook in leather mini dress
Pregnant Rihanna has offered further proof she doesn't plan on letting her baby bump alter her style.
The Diamonds singer announced last month that she is expecting her first child with boyfriend A$AP Rocky by sharing some iconic photos of the pair strolling around New York, her bump visible through her unbuttoned pink Chanel puffer coat.
The moment offered a suggestion that that star's maternity wardrobe was going to be far from boring and since then we've been living for RiRi's bump-bearing picks.
Yesterday she upped the ante once again as she attended the Off-White Womenswear Fall/Winter 2022/2023 at Paris Fashion Week in a salmon pink leather mini dress.
With her baby daddy by her side, the mum-to-be looked incredible in the soft pink dress, which she teamed with a floor-length sheepskin-style coat and gladiator sandals which criss-crossed her legs.

While a leg-revealing leather dress might seem like a bold choice during pregnancy, it is actually one of the more reserved looks the singer has been sporting since announcing she is expecting.

From bump-baring crop tops and animal print jackets, to shredded tops and mini-skirts Rihanna has been serving up some pretty special looks, offering proof she plans on pushing fashion boundaries during pregnancy.
Last month, at a Fenty Beauty Universe Event, the singer wore skin-revealing, sparkly green halter neck top with shredded trousers, and she also brought the glam when she stepped out for dinner in Beverly Hills in an incredible barely-there, lace-up top.
Teaming the black number with skintight, black stirrup trousers and rocking towering heels with crystal ankle detailing, RiRi was living proof maternity wear doesn't have to be boring.

And it seems her outfit choices are something of a pointed decision to embrace feeling sexy in her pregnancy, shunning the idea that pregnant women should feel the need to cover up.
"Right now, I’m really into pushing the idea of sexy," she told Refinery29. "When women get pregnant, society tends to make it feel like you hide, hide your sexy, and that you’re not sexy right now [but] you’ll get back there and I don’t believe that shit."

As a result the singer is being a bit more experimental with her fashion picks.
"So I’m trying stuff that I might not have even had the confidence to try before I was pregnant. The strappiest, the thinnest, and the more cut-outs the better for me."
The Wild Thoughts singer also spoke to People, about how her pregnancy has been influencing her daily fashion choices, describing the process is both "fun" and a "challenge".
"I like it. I'm enjoying it," Rihanna said. "I'm enjoying not having to worry about covering up my tummy. If I feel a little chubby, it's like, whatever! It's a baby!"
Rihanna went on to reveal that fashion has boosted her confidence while being pregnant.
"Right now, being pregnant, some days you just feel like, 'Ugh, I just want to lay here on this couch all day.' But when you put on a little face and a little lipstick, you transform," Rihanna said.
She added: "You put some clothes on, and it's like, when you look good, you feel good. I've heard that for a very long time, but it's true. It really can get you up off that couch and make you feel like a bad bitch."
Rihanna recently shared a new image of her baby bump on social media, personally introducing her 'gang' of three.
The Fenty Beauty cosmetics entrepreneur posted a series of photos on her Instagram account, the first of which showed her holding up her oversized top, with orange gloves on, revealing the bump from the side.
"How the gang pulled up to black history month," she captioned the post.
