Rihanna & Her Baby Bump Close Out the 2025 Met Gala Red Carpet
Hours after Rihanna's surprise pregnancy reveal ahead of the 2025 Met Gala, the pop superstar made her way to the red carpet to show off her impeccable style and her new baby bump.
The Met Gala legend perfectly embodied the night's 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' theme, wearing a menswear-inspired look that included a slouchy, wide-brimmed black hat; a gray corset over a white shirt collar topped by a black bolero jacket and burgundy polka-dot tie; and a pinstriped, button-down floor-length skirt. The skirt appeared to be created with an ultra-long men's blazer, with its sleeves tied at her waist.

Rihanna finished the mobster-chic look with the perfect shoe: a black heel with a white lace-up spat.
A$AP Rocky, with whom Rihanna is expecting her third child, was a co-chair of this year's Met Gala, alongside Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo and Lewis Hamilton, while LeBron James served as honorary chair. (James announced on X earlier Monday he had to cancel his appearance due to a knee injury he sustained at the end of the NBA season.)
The 2025 Met Gala theme is 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' which also inspired the Met Costume Institute's spring 2025 exhibition of the same name and explores the history of Black dandyism.
Rihanna and Rocky share two sons together, RZA Athelston Mayers, who turns 3 years old this month, and 1-year-old Riot Rose Mayers.

Shakira's Tour Cancellations Are Helping Her On The Charts
Despite several show cancellations, Shakira enjoys a Billboard boost as Donde Estan Los Ladrones and ... More Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran return to the charts. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 05: Shakira attends the 2025 Met Gala Celebrating "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 05, 2025 in New York City. (Photo byfor The Met Museum/Vogue) Shakira is currently traveling across America, performing dates on the U.S. leg of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour. The Latin superstar has been in the news lately after several shows on the trek were canceled, disappointing fans in cities like Boston and Washington, D.C. It's never good for a major artist to pull out of scheduled performances — especially at the last minute — as it impacts thousands of people. Shakira does appear to be the beneficiary of an unintended consequence stemming from her unfortunate moves. Two of Shakira's projects return to the Billboard charts this week. While the tour alone might have been enough to keep her on several rankings, the fact that multiple efforts reappear simultaneously on various lists suggests the headline-grabbing cancellations may have driven listeners back to some of her full-lengths, likely via streaming platforms like Spotify. Two Shakira Albums Return Donde Estan Los Ladrones marks Shakira's highest-ranking return this week, as it reenters the Top Latin Pop Albums chart at No. 25. Over on the Top Latin Albums list, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran reappears at No. 36. Four Shakira Projects Chart in America There are four different Shakira projects that appear on at least one Billboard tally in America this week. Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran also climbs from No. 6 to the runner-up spot on the Top Latin Pop Albums roster, nearly laying claim to the top spot once more. Shakira fills four spots on the Top Latin Pop Albums chart this frame. In addition to Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran almost reaching No. 1 and Donde Estan Los Ladrones returning, Sala El Sol and El Dorado hold steady at Nos. 9 and 11, respectively.

Jelly Roll Charts His First Hit In The Genre Where He Started His Career
Jelly Roll lands his first win on a hip-hop-focused Billboard chart, debuting at No. 9 on the ... More R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs tally with Lil Wayne's 'Sharks.' SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS - APRIL 05: Jelly Roll performs onstage for Coca Cola Live during the 2025 NCAA March Madness Music Festival on April 05, 2025 in San Antonio, Texas. (Photo byfor 2025 NCAA March Madness Music Festival) Jelly Roll first got his start in the music industry in the hip-hop space, and a number of his early albums see him rapping alongside several other well-known musicians in the hip-hop genre. That trajectory didn't see him gain much traction, so a few years back, he decided to change things up. It wasn't until he ventured into rock and country that he broke out into the American mainstream and became the superstar he is today. Despite his early beginnings, many of Jelly's hits now land on the rock, country, and pop charts, and he has seen only limited success on Billboard's hip-hop rankings. The singer-songwriter finally earns his first win on a genre-specific tally his early work would fit on thanks to his new collaboration with one of the biggest rappers of all time. Lil Wayne's "Sharks" Featuring Jelly Roll Debuts Jelly debuts at No. 9 on this week's R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs chart as a featured artist on "Sharks." The track is fronted by Lil Wayne and appears on his new album, Tha Carter VI, and it also credits rapper Big Sean. "Sharks" is the third-loftiest debut of the week on the R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs tally. It comes in behind "Hip-Hop" — another Wayne track, this time featuring BigXthaPlug and Jay Jones — and GloRilla's "Typa," both of which open inside the top five. Jelly Roll Earns His First Hip-Hop Streaming Hit Jelly earns his first placement on Billboard's list of the most-streamed tracks in America that are classified as hip-hop, rap, or R&B. "Sharks" earns Big Sean his seventh top 10 and twenty-second overall appearance on the roster. Wayne, meanwhile, beats his collaborators by a mile, as he now boasts a milestone 50 total appearances on the R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs ranking throughout the years. "Sharks" Brings Jelly Roll to the Hip-Hop Rankings "Sharks" is a rare hip-hop win for Jelly Roll, as it brings him to half a dozen Billboard charts focused on either hip-hop or rap. The R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs tally is the only list where the Grammy nominee scores his first win, but the collaborative tune also lands him on multiple other rosters. These include the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales, and Hot Rap Songs rankings — for just the second time in his career.

Miley Cyrus's New Album Suffers A Terrible Second Week On The Charts
Miley Cyrus's Something Beautiful drops from No. 4 to No. 102 on the Billboard 200 in its second ... More week, with massive declines in sales and streams. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 05: Miley Cyrus attends the 2025 Met Gala Celebrating "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 05, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by) Miley Cyrus debuted her new album Something Beautiful across a variety of Billboard rankings last week, and the highly-anticipated set opened inside the top 10 on most tallies. Just days later, the title has vanished from a number of lists and dropped precipitously on the most important albums chart in the United States, suggesting that beyond her super fans, there isn't yet a sustained interest in the pop superstar's latest release. Something Beautiful Drops Almost 100 Spots Something Beautiful launched at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 last week, earning Cyrus another career top 10. In its second frame on the ranking of the most consumed full-lengths and EPs in America, it descends nearly 100 spaces, dropping to No. 102. The collection initially arrived with 44,300 equivalent units. In its second frame of availability, it shifted just 12,000 (per Luminate) — marking a 73% decline in terms of total consumption from one frame to the next. Miley Cyrus's New Album Declines 84% in Sales The project experiences a much softer decline in terms of position on the Top Album Sales chart. Something Beautiful debuted in the runner-up space on Billboard's list of the bestselling titles in the country with 27,000 purchases. This time around, it drops to No. 18, selling another 4,300 copies. That's a decline of 84%, but that kind of a change isn't entirely shocking. Purchases of an album are usually at their most impressive during the title's first frame of availability, and even some long-running successes experience drastic dips in pure purchases. Backtracking on the Billboard 200 — which also includes streaming activity — suggests that many people not only stopped buying Something Beautiful, but also stopped streaming the title after only a few days. Miley Cyrus Vanishes from the Hot 100 Cyrus is nowhere to be found on several other Billboard tallies where she appeared just a few days ago. Something Beautiful has completely vacated both the Vinyl Albums and Top Streaming Albums charts. She also no longer appears on the Hot 100 with any tracks from Something Beautiful. "Easy Lover" debuted last frame at No. 82, but neither that tune nor the lead single "End of the World" — which peaked at No. 52 — can be found at the moment.
