The singer and mom-of-two (soon to be three) is no stranger to gagging fans on the Met Gala steps.

However, it was the 37-year-old's protruding baby bump that has stolen the limelight as before one toe could even step on the carpet, the couple have revealed they are expecting their third child, with a source confirming the happy news to Page Six.
And in an interview with CBS on the red carpet tonight, Rocky, a Met Gala co-chair, confirmed: "Rihanna’s outfit tonight is ... I don’t know, whatever, just don’t cover her baby hump, you dig?"
Rocky and Rihanna, who have been dating since 2020, last appeared on the famous red carpet in 2023 when the 'Umbrella' hitmaker was pregnant with their second child, Riot.
Last year, the Barbados-born artist spoke to Interview about her blossoming romance with the 36-year-old record producer, revealing the pair share the same hobbies and keen eye for detail.
The star said: "We saw fashion the same. We saw creative the same. We ended up in the same circles a lot. And past that, when we grew up, we ended up supporting each other’s brands and products and creative all the time. I would wear his s**t, he would show up to my launches.
"But it wasn’t until the end of 2019 [that our relationship became romantic]."
The baby bump debut comes as fans were stunned by the pair's outfits at the Gala this year.
Taking to Twitter, one fan said: "This pic looks like a vogue pic. She’s not even trying. Congrats icon."
"Every met gala she's attended these past few years, she's been pregnant," another said, to which a fan joked back: "It's her theme!!"
However, many others joked that the bump is a sure sign that we might not be getting an album anytime soon.
"Rihanna, when we said R9, we meant the album... Not 9 kids," read one.
Dozens of famous faces have already strutted into the event with their take on this year's theme, 'Black dandyism,' which aligns with the Costume Institute's 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' exhibition from May 10 to October 26.
The theme has been picked to examine the 'importance of clothing and style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora,' according to Vogue, and is the first exhibition since 2003's 'Men in Skirts' that focuses on menswear.
The show is also inspired by co-curator Monica Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.
Also having turned heads on the carpet is Sabrina Carpenter, for her 'Espresso fit', as well as Sydney Sweeney and Simone Biles.
