Rihanna is opening up about some of her past fashion experiences. The singer expressed regret for wearing such revealing outfits.
Appearing at a Fenty X Puma shoe event, Rihanna talked with British Vogue (via Page Six) about her changing views on fashion. She said that looking back on some of those things gave her both regret and pause.
“I did so much s—t in my life. I had my nipples out, I had my panties out,” she said after the publication asked her what her fashion “ick” was. Rihanna explained that being a parent changed her. Rihanna is the mother to RZA and Riot Rose with A$AP Rocky. “But now those are the things, I guess, as a mom, as an evolved young lady … it’s just things that I just feel like I would never do.”
She continued, “And I’m just like, ‘Oh my god, I really did that? nips out?’”
However, the singer had a different tune during her pregnancy. She showed up wearing several revealing maternity dresses such as a Jean Paul Gaultier lace-up cardigan in 2022. She later wore all lingerie and a thong for Dior Fall 2022 show at Paris Fashion Week. At the time, Rihanna called her clothing empowering.
“To me that dress is actually the closest thing to maternity clothes that I’ve worn so far,” she said. She wanted 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,” she said.
Rihanna Talks Pregnancy Fashion
She continued, “This time should feel celebratory. Because why should you be hiding your pregnancy?”
Likewise, Rihanna also spoke with Today about becoming a parent. She said the process of becoming a parent was “insane” and taxing.
“Essentially, from one person I became two,” she said. “You walk into the hospital as a couple and leave as a family of three. It’s nuts.”
She added, “You don’t sleep. At all. Not even if you wanted to” before continuing to talk about exhaustion. “We came home, cold turkey, had no one,” she said. “It was just us as parents and our baby. Man, you’re a zombie for the most part.”
Clothing was an issue post-pregnancy.
“Dressing for pregnancy was such a piece of cake,” she said. “But dressing in postpartum, what the f**k do you do? The week that I came home from the hospital — that was nothing but sweats and hoodies.”
