Recently, the cover of Vogue magazine released an impactful picture, Rihanna, who was pregnant in September, wore a bright colored cutout lace dress, stepped on stiletto sandals, and coolly showed her pregnant belly to the photographer's camera. For the sexy queen of the fashion industry, the change in body shape caused by pregnancy did not change her dressing personality, but brought an opportunity for her to set off a "pregnancy dress revolution" in the fashion industry.
Since publicly announcing her pregnancy, the 34-year-old superstar has embraced everything she has to offer as a mother-to-be. In the face of the changes in her posture during pregnancy, Rihanna did not show any concern or lack of confidence, but was very excited. "My body is doing incredible things right now, and I'm not ashamed of it, I'm glad it. Why are you hiding your pregnancy? In a Paris restaurant that Rihanna loved for ten minutes, she wore stiletto heels and painted delicate makeup, just like her on the cover, and gave interviews to the media in a charming manner.
In her opinion, the physical changes brought about by pregnancy are a rare and exciting experience, "which is so fun to dress up". Looking back at Rihanna's appearance at various occasions during pregnancy, we will find that her dressing journey is not only precious to her personally, but also provides a different fashion reference for all expectant mothers in the world, bringing a new impact to the fashion industry.
Her stylist, Jalil Weaver, is just as much enjoying this fun journey. "Pregnant belly is now the focus, her main attribute at the moment, let's highlight it as much as possible." Weaver not only did not see Rihanna's pregnancy as a difficult point in design, but also used classic looks again and again to raise awareness of the beauty of maternity clothing.

For example, attending an event of her own beauty brand Fenty Beauty, Rihanna wore a sequined tasseled sleeve top and trousers, and The Adjusted Piece from Weaver was more suitable for her raised abdomen, and the cascading tassels had a slight curvature, making Rihanna transform into the "most fashionable pregnant woman" in the whole venue.

At another press conference by Beautiful Finti, Rihanna transformed into a "mermaid". The cropped top and maxi skirt reveal its distinctive belly silhouette, and the diamond chain adorned with the abdomen adds a maternal glow to the mother-to-be. Weaver had his own ideas for the design, "Bringing life into the world is a sacred thing. Why not highlight that part of your body? ”

In addition, Rihanna's look at Paris Fashion Week also caused a sensation, under the black transparent gauze, there were sexy thongs and patent leather boots. The sexy queen walked into the Dior runway with a confident attitude with the little life in her belly. This brave dress breaks stereotypes about pregnant women, and she strives to live up to what she said – "I hope we can redefine the 'decency' of pregnant women." ”
These red carpet highlights of Rihanna's pregnancy have become the shining colors of the fashion world, bringing new momentum to the pregnancy dress revolution and new courage to other expectant mothers. Pregnancy has always been a great thing that brings women a sense of happiness in childbirth, but also brings them some physical troubles, for women who are keen on fashion, the protruding abdomen becomes a source of anxiety, and they may become unconfident.
As a fashion magazine writer, Lace Warner envisions her pregnancy in this way — like other actresses, and like fairies, she has a pleasing posture and face. But when the pregnancy really came, she found that in her, the ideal was far from the reality. As the pregnancy response intensified, she began to lie in bed for a long time, and her disfigured figure and lack of exercise made her begin to be senselessly anxious. She would wear her husband's scruffy shirt, turn off her zoom camera during meetings, and even worry about being watched. She would worry that pregnancy would take her completely out of fashion and that many things would be completely and permanently engulfed by "motherhood".

It was Rihanna's pregnancy photos that gave her new revelations, and the belly chain decorated on the queen's abdomen drew attention to her condition in the most sexy way. Rihanna was confident and she didn't sacrifice any part of her life because she was pregnant. Inspired, Warner began experimenting with his own belly-revealing top and asking photographers to take fashion photos of himself during pregnancy. The photos made Warner more confident and made her realize that there are more anxiety stories similar to her in the mother-to-be world.
After uploading photos to her photo wall, she received countless letters and interactions from women. Everyone seems to share the same concerns, fearing that motherhood will deprive them of their original selves. Everyone rejoices in having a child and at the same time panics about what might be lost. These women need a little room to vent, a little encouragement.

Who says women during pregnancy can't be fashionable? Who says a fertile mother can't be bold enough to show off herself? Rihanna's attitude towards dressing has begun to have an impact among expectant mothers, and changes in pregnancy can also become fashion opportunities. The pace of women's power awakening has never stopped, and in 1991, pregnant Demi Moore appeared naked on the cover of Vanity Fair, causing an uproar. In March 2003, 7 months pregnant American actress Brooke Xiaosi filmed the magazine cover for Vogue, wearing a yellow wet suit and looking directly into the camera, looking determined and confident. Thanks to these "Rihannas", every time they practice, they are cheering pregnant women and bringing new inspiration for pregnant women.
The next time you hear someone complaining about being pregnant, in addition to the ubiquitous "but it's worth it," there should be an envious voice of "you have a chance to become more fashionable."
