Rihanna relied on clever wardrobe tricks to cover her baby bump before sharing the exciting news that she's expecting her first child.
In the months leading up to Monday's reveal, Rihanna, 33 relied on baggy clothes and distracting accessories to keep a low profile.
The Umbrella hit maker was spotted wearing an £124 Martine Rose Supersized football shirt as a dress for a dinner out with her boyfriend A$AP Rocky a few weeks ago.
To ensure that the bump was completely covered, she also covered up with an oversized bright red puffer jacket.
Just days later the singer was seen wearing another American football jersey as she carried a bad of food from Deliveroo.
She teamed her look with a pair of Prada opera gloves and covered her bump with a Goyard clutch bag.
Earlier this month Rihanna wore a huge orange Teddy coat over a pair of camouflage trousers.
She wore a large fleece jacket over leggings and a pair of pointed-heeled boots.
Rihanna and A$AP confirmed the rumours as they walked through New York City on Monday - with her bare bump in full display.
Despite the freezing temperatures, Rihanna opened her bright pink Chanel coat just below her breasts.
Temperatures in the city dropped to -4C, shortly before Winter Storm Kenan hit.
She accessorised with glitzy chains with pearls and gemstones attached and wore a Chanel chain belt.
The beauty added a pair of distressed light blue jeans with rips at the knees.
The bottoms of the trousers dragged on the pavement, covering up the singer's shoes.
She wore her black hair in tight waves that flowed over her shoulders.
A$AP looked just as cool as Rihanna in a pair of loose leather trousers.
He looked a little warmer than his expectant baby mama and wrapped up in a knitted V-neck jumper and an oversized denim Carhartt jacket
The pair were reportedly dating in November 2020 after Rihanna split from ex-boyfriend Hassan Jameel.
RiRi and Rocky had been friends for around 10 years before People confirmed they were an item.
They jetted off to Barbados together in December and A$AP spent Christmas with Rihanna's family.
In December she shut down rumours that she was expecting over an alleged DM conversation with a fan.
“Jen” wrote to Rihanna, “Can I come to the baby shower sis!? True or not your babies are going to be beautiful. Sorry everyone’s up in your uterus right now.”
