Rihanna's surprise pregnancy reveal shakes up the Met Gala 2025: How many kids does the icon have?
One thing about
? She knows how to arrive 'Fashionably Late'!
Another thing about Rihanna? She knows how to shut down the Met Gala!
One more thing about Rihanna? She surely knows the most iconic way(s) to do her pregnancy announcement – and that too, without spending any words whatsoever!
Met Gala isn't unfamiliar territory for
Queen RiRi
! Nor is closing down the carpet!
But this time, the 'Diamonds' star took it a notch higher and revealed the baby bump on the Met Gala Blue Carpet!
Diamond on the Blue Carpet!
Just when we thought that Black Dandyism couldn't get any better than that, Queen RiRi did her thing! As her annual ritual goes, she came, she closed down the carpet, and she slayed – with a baby bump on display!
Earlier, when her beau and the co-chair of the Met Gala this year, A$AP Rocky, hit the red carpet alone, the rumors were abuzz about whether Rihanna was going to skip this year's event after she let the world have a sneak peek at her baby bump just last night.

However, Queen RiRi obviously knew better, and had a plan to do her pregnancy reveal in the most spectacular way possible – even better than the Super Bowl Halftime show!
And as always, the wait was worth it!
Rihanna — being fashionably late — hit the carpet around 10 pm, adorning a boned corset by Marc Jacobs and a wide-brimmed black hat. Confirming her pregnancy, the 'We Found Love' star seemed to respond when she met shouts of congratulations with: 'Thank you!'
Mother RiRi:
The music superstar and the beauty mogul is already a mom to two children: sons Riot Rose, 21 months, and RZA Athelston, who turns 3 this month.
Rihanna is expecting baby No. 3 with her beau, A$AP Rocky.
However, like previous times, the pop icon did not reveal the gender of her yet-to-be-born baby.
The romance:
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's romance has been one of a kind! The strength of their bond has even withstood the turbulent trial of Rocky, who was found not guilty in his trial on two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm.
The power couple first met in September 2012, during rehearsals for their performance of "Cockiness (Love It)" at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards.
While their initial encounter was a collaboration on a song and performance, their romantic relationship began later, with Vogue stating that it blossomed in late 2019, and Harper's BAZAAR confirming that they went official in summer 2020.
Rihanna flaunts her baby bump yet again but this time in a solo picture

Here are the five best moments from the June 21 event held at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California. Rihanna shares powerful words during pregnancy Rihanna accepted the Icon Award via a pre-recorded video message. Though she couldn't attend in person due to her pregnancy, the singer used the opportunity to inspire the young audience. 'I just want to take this moment to remind all of you that wherever you are right now is significant and crucial to where you are about to go,' she said. 'Own your space in this world and know that you are chosen for greatness.' Her powerful words were a standout in a show otherwise packed with light-hearted fun. Sabrina Carpenter wins big and thanks fans Sabrina Carpenter had a major night, taking home three awards: Favorite Album for Short n' Sweet, Favorite Female Breakout Artist, and Favorite Song for Taste. 'This is so special to me,' Carpenter said. 'I've always wanted one of these ever since I was a little girl. I just can't thank each and every one of you enough for voting. I will continue to make these clean versions of these songs for you, and I'm so grateful that you're listening.'

When Anushka Sharma shared her and Virat Kohli's parenting mantra: 'It's important for children to…'
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli stand out as one of India's most cherished celebrity couples, not only for their enduring romance but also for their thoughtful approach to family life and parenting. Their journey together, which began in 2013 during a commercial shoot, quickly captivated fans with their natural chemistry both on and off screen. The couple tied the knot in a picturesque ceremony in Tuscany, Italy, in December 2017. Since then, their family has blossomed with the arrival of their daughter Vamika in January 2021 and their son Akaay in February 2024. 'It's a family unit, not just Mum and Dad duties' In a throwback interview with Vogue, Anushka spoke honestly about what kind of parents she and Virat aim to be. She said, 'We don't see it as mum and dad duties, but as a family unit. For us, it's important that our child be raised with a very balanced outlook. In Virat's case, he plays around the year. What becomes important is the time we spend together as a family.' Setting the right example Talking more about how children observe and learn from their parents, Anushka said, 'Times have changed. It's important for children to look at parents—they learn from you. And there is a sense of normalcy that both of us do work. Of course, one will have to manage things differently and more efficiently to work.' Choosing privacy over popularity While many celebrity couples post about their children on social media, Anushka and Virat have chosen a different path. They rarely share photos of their kids and make a clear effort to keep their family life private. Anushka explained their decision, saying, 'We've thought about it a lot. We definitely do not want to raise a child in the public eye—we don't plan on engaging our child in social media. I think it's a decision your child should be able to take. No kid should be made to be more special than the other. It's hard enough for adults to deal with it. It's going to be difficult, but we intend to follow through.' On the work front, Anushka was last seen in a cameo in the OTT film 'Qala'. Since then, she's been enjoying motherhood and focusing on her family life.

Prefer Indian toys over Labudu
Toysare the ultimate fascination for every kid and sometimes to every person no matter one's age. There is no doubt that we all had a fascination for soft toys, especially dolls, which are among the most adorable parts of our childhood memories. From Barbie to traditional cloth doll of every region, soft toys are among the sweetest delights for many of us, and our children. But these days the world, as well as the internet, is obsessed with possessing the cute Chinese dolls named Labubu. Made by Pop Mart International, they are priced between Rs 3, 000 and a whopping Rs 1.50 lakh in India. Although the doll has been rolling in the Chinese market since 2015, it peaked due to K-Pop star Lisa, who fuelled their popularity, by showing it as her collection. Incidentally, from Hollywood stars like Rihanna and Justin Bieber to Bollywood actors like Annaya Pandey, many from the world of cinema are all obsessed with Labubu. Pop Mart International minted millions by selling the miniature fashion-sensation dolls. To the avant-garde marketing tactics, Pop Mart International uses blind box selling strategies for their life-sized dolls branded as luxury collectibles. In an unfortunate development, its rising popularity and heavy export orders have been directly sponging the potential revenue of Indian toy industry to China. This is more so because many Indians are taking pride in owning Labubu. Earlier on, Chinese products shattered Indian toy industry by introducing cheap toys or exclusive luxury collections. Instead of supporting state-of-the-art home grown toys like Thanjavur dolls, Channapatna dolls or Kondapalli dolls, many of us are getting influenced by the viral social media trends and going in for a Labubu doll in our drawing room. Luxury obsession with Indian dolls could help turn the tide and fortunes of our local toys' makers. All we need is to love Indian toys as much as we do the new sensation Labubu. We need to support Indian toys startups and local makers and boost the economic conditions of the Indian toy industry, which is facing severe challenges from Labubu and other luxury toys collectibles of foreign brands. Like 'Make in India', we should also promote Indian workmanship. Kirti Wadhawan,Kanpur Nagar (UP)
