Rihanna says she wants to redefine maternity fashion and what's considered 'decent' for pregnant women to wear
  • Rihanna said she hopes her pregnancy redefines maternity fashion and challenges what's "decent."
  • The singer and businesswoman spoke about her pregnancy with Vogue for its May cover.

Rihanna says she hopes her maternity-style choices are $4 for pregnant women to wear, according to Vogue.

In an interview with Chioma Nnadi for the magazine's May cover, published on Tuesday, the 34-year-old singer and Fenty entrepreneur said she hasn't restricted her fashion choices since she and her partner A$AP Rocky, 33, $4 in late January.

"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," she told Vogue. "I'm not going to let that part disappear because my body is changing."

Rihanna announced her pregnancy in a series of photos taken by celebrity-favored street photographer $4 in Harlem, New York, where $4 a pink Chanel coat, unbuttoned to show her baby bump covered by her gemstone necklace. Since then, she has been lauded for $4 by wearing daring and fitted outfits.

On February 11, Rihanna dazzled at a Fenty Beauty event in LA in a $4 from The Attico, $4 reported. Later in February, Rihanna turned heads $4 show during Milan Fashion Week in $4 pieces, according to the brand's Instagram. Her metallic headdress was paired with a black latex crop top, a lavender fur coat, and black satin pants with a red dragon.

Her most daring maternity style moment came at the $4 on March 1, where she wore a sheer black lace babydoll dress that revealed underwear from her Savage X Fenty line, complete with a leather jacket and boots.

Speaking to Vogue about the Dior look, Rihanna said the dress was the closest thing to maternity clothes she'd worn yet, adding: "Listen, they were going to see my panties regardless. So they'd better be mine."

She also joked that her stylist Jahleel Weaver "loses sleep" over her changing measurements, saying: "In fact, I'm sure he's going to ask for a raise after this!"

Rihanna told the magazine that her style choices have been a conscious effort to shift the narrative around pregnant women's bodies. "I'm hoping that we were able to redefine what's considered 'decent' for pregnant women," she said.

She added: "My body is doing incredible things right now, and I'm not going to be ashamed of that. This time should feel celebratory. Because why should you be hiding your pregnancy?"
