We should be ever so lucky that Rihanna takes her style and fashion sense so seriously, that she would buck convention and do a street style photoshoot announcing her pregnancy.
It is fitting, really, since New York Fashion Week starts in less than two weeks and fashion fans will arrive in the city, doing the most with their street style.
And with everybody still wearing their lounge wear and doing all they can to hide the weight gain from the past two years, Rihanna has shown them you can be fabulous no matter your weight or body size.

Rihanna decided to go back decades to find the perfect pregnancy reveal outfit. She wore a silk puffer parka from the Chanel AW 1996 collection, which was showcased in 1995 in Paris. Rihanna would have been seven or eight years old when this garment was first presented on the runway.
She layered jewellery all over her torso also from Chanel and her favourite Christian Lacroix Paris Couture Heart Crystal Cross pendant brooch.
The singer and CFDA Style Icon winner, has bucked the trend many times. Always marching to the beat of her own drum, her style has made her one of the most exciting people in the entertainment and fashion industry.
She has once again bucked the trend by choosing to go so simple with her pregnancy announcement. Choosing to ignore the current trend for pregnancy announcements we are seeing, where expectant parents are dressed in swathes of chiffon and elaborate locations, her no-fuss approach will definitely be a culture reset.
Both Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are regarded as fashion icons and both have relationships with storied French fashion houses. Rihanna was a frequent attendee at the late Karl Lagerfeld’s shows for Chanel.
Their unborn baby is already the envy of many and will likely be the most fashionable baby since North West.
