Each and every year, the first Monday in May marks a monumental occasion in the fashion sphere, with many of the world's most notable names gathering under one roof to celebrate style in all its glory.
The Met steps were filled to the brim with bold ensemble choices on Monday night, however, there was one announcement in particular that took place just a few hours before the event unfolded, and fans couldn’t contain their excitement.
To announce that she is expecting her third child with partner A$AP Rocky, Rihanna stepped out onto the New York City streets in matching ribbed Miu Miu co-ord, proving traditional maternity wear is by far a thing of the past.

When it comes to pregnancy fashion, Rihanna is the last to conform to classic stretchy pants and oversized t-shirts.

For the occasion, Rihanna donned a set of low-rise baggy blue jeans and a pink long-line puffer coat from the Chanel archive. She accessorised with a multicoloured cross necklace from Lacroix and a layered black and gold Chanel belt.
Leave it to Rihanna to turn Miu Miu into a maternity must-have.
