Amid all the chaos surrounding Rihanna’s second pregnancy announcement — including confusion over whether she was actually pregnant (yes), to debate over whether her Super Bowl Half Time performance was good (also yes), to a swift release of the family’s first portraits via an iconic magazine cover — we forgot to celebrate one thing: the return of Rihanna’s maternity style.

During her first pregnancy, Rihanna redefined what it means to dress as a pregnant woman, highlighting her changing body through crop tops, see-through dresses and tight, sexy cut-outs. (Not to mention the way she announced the news to the world, wearing a pink Chanel coat and low-rise jeans to show her growing baby bump).

Now pregnant with her second child — announced during the biggest performance of her career dressed in a red suit made up of Alaïa and Loewe — it’s clear Rihanna plans to continue her style streak.

Stepping out to celebrate her 35th birthday, the singer wore a white halterneck minidress that hugged her baby bump, using its low neckline to show off her sheer white Savage x Fenty lace lingerie.

Over top, Rihanna added a black croc-embossed coat, completing her look with a pair of strappy diamonte-encrusted sandals and a vintage Gucci by Tom Ford bag.

Equally stylish A$AP Rocky wore a blue hoodie by Jonathan Anderson’s Loewe, pairing the statement top with tan trousers and matching tan suede shoes.

We cannot wait for the looks to come.
