Rihanna is pregnant! See her 2025 Met Gala baby bump debut
Tonight, the singer and Fenty founder showed off her baby bump in a Miu Miu dress as she departed the Carlyle Hotel to walk the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the first Monday in May.
After all, she had to show up and support her man, A$AP Rocky, one of the stylish co-chairs this year. And in typical Riri fashion, she did not disappoint with her own look.
Rihanna has always enjoyed a high-profile pregnancy moment: She announced her first while wearing a hot pink Chanel puffer jacket and ornate body chains—and a little over a month later she arrived at the Dior show wearing a sheer black lace babydoll dress that showed off both her stomach and her lingerie. 'When I found out I was pregnant, I thought to myself: There's no way I'm going to go shopping in no maternity aisle. I'm sorry—it's too much fun to get dressed up. I'm not going to let that part disappear because my body is changing,' she told Vogue at the time about her pregnancy style.
This will be her third child with A$AP Rocky—they already have an almost-three-year-old son, RZA, and a one-year-old son, Riot Rose.
As a seven-time Met Gala attendee, Rihanna is a seasoned pro at delivering a head-turning fashion moment on the Met steps. When she first attended in 2007, she went the more classic and glamorous route in a white empire-waist Georges Chakra dress replete with rhinestone embellishments. As the years have progressed, however, her Met Gala looks have only gotten more elaborate and avant-garde.
One of Rihanna's most famous Met Gala looks to date was back in 2015, when she hit the red carpet in a yellow Guo Pei coat-dress featuring an elaborate 16-foot train. In 2018, for 'Heavenly Bodies,' she made internet waves in a Maison Margiela papal look. For her most recent appearance, meanwhile—at the 2023 Karl Lagerfeld-themed exhibition—she chose a white Valentino floral cape and gown.
Tonight, however, she and Rocky proved yet again that the Met is their event. Everyone else just comes close.

‘The riskier it is, the more amazed people are': Can you do the Nicki Minaj TikTok challenge?
NEW YORK – If you have a few seconds, social media has a new exercise for you to try. First, do a single-legged squat and cross the other leg over. Then try that in the highest pair of heels you can find. Once you have that figured out, do the same pose, in those heels, on top of two cooking pots stacked on the kitchen counter – or on top of the monkey bars at a playground jungle gym or on top of a single soda can. The pretzel-like pose is called the Nicki Minaj because – in what feels like ancient history by social media standards – the Trinidadian rapper and singer did it beside a swimming pool in the music video for her 2013 track High School. A clip from that video has resurfaced on TikTok in the past week, seemingly at random, and has taken on a life of its own as users have tried to recreate the pose in increasingly precarious locations, while challenging one another to come up with more difficult versions. The hashtag #nickiminajchallenge has been viewed more than 1.3 billion times. Rapper Nicki Minaj at the 2025 Met Gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, on May 5. PHOTO: AFP And the challenge has drawn celebrity participants, such as American comedian Christina Kirkman (balancing on a cooking pot and a can of soup) and American singer Ciara (balancing on a stack of dumbbells).

How could we make this more tricky?' said Ms Francesca Pagan, 27, who posted a video of herself doing the Nicki on top of three books, one cooking pot and an aluminium can while balancing a book on her head. 'The riskier it is, the more amazed people are.' It is also essential to look calm and collected while doing the pose. Having done gymnastics and cheerleading as a kid certainly helped, Ms Pagan added. 'I'm not going to say I recommend everyone do it because that's just in bad faith,' she said. 'I think you have to have a certain level of confidence in your ability to balance.' Some commenters questioned whether her version of the pose was real, Ms Pagan said, because of its difficulty. So, she posted bloopers showing her losing her balance and the book falling off her head. She then posted a second video of the Nicki, in which she posed on top of even more stacked pots. For some, the challenge has become a way to showcase their businesses or passions. A video posted on Fenty Beauty's account, for example, features a woman doing the Nicki on top of a stack of the cosmetic brand's products in a Sephora store. Mothers shown perched atop a stack of toys, surrounded by their tumbling children, seem to project uncanny calmness amid the chaos of parenting. Professional circus artist Brianna Kalisch received a message from her friend a few days ago. 'He was like, 'You should do this,'' she said. Until participating in the challenge, TikTok videos of her bottle walking and balancing feats, which had once been flagged as 'dangerous activities', had not gained much traction on the platform, Ms Kalisch said. But she thought she would give the Nicki a shot anyway. She created a pyramid of 12 champagne bottles, climbed on top, and then assumed the pose. Her sister handed her another bottle that she placed on her head. In two days, the video received more than two million views. 'I actually tried juggling,' Ms Kalisch said, 'but my knees were in the way. It didn't work.' NYTIMES

Book review: The First Fools makes Singapore's 10 ‘founding fathers' flesh and blood again
Find out what's new on ST website and app. The First Fools: B-Sides Of Lee Kuan Yew's A-Team explores the colourful lives of Singapore's "founding fathers" such as Mr Lee Kuan Yew (second from right), Mr S. Rajaratnam (second from left), Dr Toh Chin Chye (centre, in black spectacles) and Mr Jek Yeun Thong (in black pants). In primary school, this reviewer came into possession of a yellowed sheet of laminated paper, on which the headshots of Singapore's 10 'founding fathers' were arranged haphazardly. They stared, their expression somewhere between stoic and emotionless; meeting their eyes, one was wont to feel nothing too.

Summer nuptials coming up? Here's the ultimate wedding guest dress guide
@kendalljenner From breezy 'I dos' on a balmy beach in Bali to enchanting nuptials in the South of France, brace yourselves as wedding season is officially upon us. Once you've RSVP'ed yes to that romantic garden soirée or a dreamy destination wedding on a tropical island, the excitement quickly turns to the inevitable sartorial problem of not knowing what to wear. But on the bright side, a summer wedding replete with a golden-hour ceremony and al fresco reception is the perfect opportunity to play dress up. As the temperatures in town start taking it up a notch, herein comes the season's most coveted wedding guest wardrobe staple: dresses. A must-have to own for its simple ease of slipping into, especially on days when you're looking to feel some breeze on your skin. Be it a city ceremony or backyard nuptials—there's a dress for every type of wedding. While the season calls for flowy silhouettes, bold hues, and playful prints, dressing for a wedding still comes with its own set of rules. First and foremost: never upstage the bride. That means you need to stay away from anything white, ivory, or too bridal. Next is to stick to the dress code. You don't want to be too overdressed or underdressed for the occasion. That being said, as the season takes its turn on the axis, we're starting to see a slew of wedding-ready dresses worthy of our attention. From Kendall Jenner turning heads in a romantic floral ensemble at the high-profile wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, to Emily Ratajkowski's iconic plunging yellow satin gown at Marc Jacobs' nuptials, take a leaf from the books of our favourite celebrities. Because the unanimous verdict is: they're doing wedding guest fashion right. Below, find Vogue Singapore's guide to nailing the summer wedding guest look—one dress at a time.
