The Met Gala is basically the Super Bowl of the fashion world—and for Rihanna, it'll be her second "big game" of 2023! The "Disturbia" singer performed during the Super Bowl halftime show in February, and now she's gearing up for another big night on May 1 at the Met Gala. Ahead of the red carpet event, RiRi debuted an outfit that put her baby bump on full display.

In May 2022, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcomed their first child, a son they reportedly named Noah Mayers. Fans were shocked to learn she was pregnant with baby No. 2. when she appeared on stage with a visible bump at the Super Bowl halftime show in February. But now, RiRi rocked a more defined bump ahead of the Met Gala—and her outfit is very on-theme for the fashion event. Let's take a closer look at her vintage Chanel look.
Rihanna showed off a vintage Chanel look before the Met Gala.
Rihanna took to Twitter on April 30 to show off a full vintage Chanel outfit that also happened to align with the 2023 Met Gala theme. "Not even Monday," she tweeted alongside a collage of four photos of herself rocking the style. If you ask us, her baby bump complements the look immaculately.
The cropped faux fur jacket was the star of her post (aside from Rihanna's bump).
Vogue reports that RiRi was wearing pieces from Chanel's fall 1994 collection, which was designed by Karl Lagerfeld. Isn't the cropped faux fur jacket the best? (Although, that hat seems to be competing to be the statement piece.) The "CC" logo glasses definitely add to the glamor, too. Our absolute favorite part of the whole ensemble, however, is Rihanna's adorable bump.
Fans approved of RiRi's look ahead of the Met Gala.
Both Instagram and Twitter followers lauded RiRi for her impeccable fashion taste.
One Instagram user declared: "The original fashion icon. Don't even play ," in all-caps.
Another person commented on Instagram, "She is definitely gonna SLAY @ THE MET GALA ."
Meanwhile, someone else wrote, "How freaking cute is she?!!! ."
What is the Met Gala theme for 2023? Rihanna's outfit was perfect for it.
The theme for the 2023 Met Gala is "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," according to Time. For 2023, the late fashion designer's work—which spanned six decades—will be celebrated. Karl is best known for designing for Chanel, Tommy Hilfiger, and Fendi, in addition to his own brand. So Rihana's all-Chanel outfit designed by Karl himself was perfectly on-theme.
Will Rihanna attend the 2023 Met Gala?
Yes! E! Online reported that Rihanna is expected to attend the 2023 Met Gala. The "Diamonds" singer has walked the Met Gala red carpet nine times since 2007, according to the publication. Not to mention, her vintage Chanel outfit definitely hinted at RiRi making an appearance at the annual fundraiser.
We'll definitely keep our eyes peeled for Rihanna rocking some more killer fashion (and her precious bump) pieces this year at the Met Gala!
