Rihanna Bares it All in Stunning Throwback Maternity Shoot
Rihanna shares maternity shoot photos from her first pregnancy where she poses almost nude.
Rihanna has always embraced motherhood since the very beginning, never one to shy away from flaunting her baby bump. In an Instagram post, the singer bares it all as she shares a throwback maternity shoot taken during her first pregnancy. In the carousel of photos, which she titled "Rub on ya titties," the singer poses practically nude, celebrating her body and in anticipation of baby RZA.
"In honor of my first pregnancy, embracing motherhood like a g, and the magic that this body made! Baby RZA… he in there not having a clue how nuts his mama is, or how obsessed he was bout to make me," the caption read.
For Rihanna to undergo a topless maternity shoot should come as no surprise. She broke fashion barriers as she unapologetically embraced her baby bump, often donning bold maternity looks. From sheer dresses to crop tops, the singer showed the world that being pregnant is not something to hide nor does it mean you must forego any sense of style.
Since giving birth to her son, Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky have done nothing but embrace parenthood. The couple recently celebrated RZA's first birthday in which they shared a carousel of family photos on Instagram. This comes only a few months since the singer announced her second pregnancy during her 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Rihanna had a big reveal rather immediately, leaving her red Loewe jumpsuit unzipped underneath her red Alaïa jacket, and rubbing her belly in confirmation. In a 2023 interview with British Vogue, she shares what life has been like since becoming a mother, calling it "legendary."
"It's everything. You really don’t remember life before, that's the craziest thing ever," she said. "You literally try to remember it – and there are photos of my life before – but the feeling, the desires, the things that you enjoy, everything, you just don't identify with it because you don't even allow yourself mentally to get that far, because…because it doesn't matter."
As she's in the midst of carrying her second child, it's not a complete improbability that she may have a second topless maternity shoot in the works (that is, if she hasn't done one already). But even so, we may have to wait a year to see it.
