Rihanna Says Dressing Your Bump Is A Piece Of Cake But The Postpartum Isn’t

Rihanna and her fashion A-game go hand in hand. Ever since her first pregnancy, the “Diamonds” singer made sure to put her baby bump on display. From styling lingerie to going goth in black, the songstress made waves with her maternity closet. And this time again, as she announced her second pregnancy at the Super Bowl performance, there wasn’t anything that we could call “basic.” For the newest cover of Vogue British, the superstar was joined by her newborn and boyfriend–A$AP Rocky, for a cover shoot. In pictures shot in a plush mansion, the Oscar-nominee decked up in a leather gown by Rick Owens and took the red seat beside the fireplace.

The cover shoot brings this fierce version of Rihanna, which isn’t new but still somewhat refreshing. Displaying the new side to her that takes her fans closer to her new life as a mother, Riri takes the lead, followed by A$AP and their son. For this, she dons rockstar hair, shaped into a modern love affair with a velvet black dress by Chanel. The details added to the silhouette describe both her fiery and feminine persona, through the dark hue and the little bow on the side. Styled by Edward Enninful, editor-in-chief of British Vogue, Riri’s hands come dipped in a lace glove and delicate silver earrings. Behind her, comes Rocky, who strikes a pose with his son, wearing a leather vest and pants.

She exudes gothic glamour in tons of slit gowns, that change in colours but not in appearance. Unlike her Super Bowl outfit, Riri chooses to go wild with her tresses, and smoky with her eyes, and lips expressing her love for caramel gloss. Mother to her nine-month-old son, gave a dark spin to cliche Valentine’s Day romance, with a black, off-shouldered Cady gown, with satin sandals by Valentino, in another photograph with Rocky. Here, the colour red is used as a garnish for a striking colour play. In another portrait shot with her son, Riri paints a powerful image, as she takes up the new role of a mother. Through her words for the magazine feature, Rihanna spoke about embracing motherhood, and how it changed her life. The 35-year-old Barbadian musician explained how the first few days after the birth made her nothing less than a zombie.

In the interview, Rihanna also took readers through her maternity closet, and how she weaved every look to perfection. She mentions, how dressing with your baby bump is a piece of cake, but dressing post-delivery was confusing. She describes how everything is either too big or too small. For a week after the delivery, Riri mentions wearing sweats and hoodies, but finding herself confused by the beginning of next. She also mentions how distancing her child from the paparazzi is imperative, and so is introducing the face in the right manner. With a million paps following each of her steps, she says “Do what you want with me…We’ve been protecting him thus far and you don’t have any consent to be posting photos of my child.”

Dressing his baby boy, Riri mentions how she loves to push her son into clothes that don’t look like the cliché baby stuff. From florals to hot pink, she keeps a note of fluid fashion, and remembers to take that route while dressing her son. We say, “A classic Riri,” as she talks about how boring baby clothes are. Well, we can expect a Fenty babywear line soon.
