Rihanna Redefines Maternity Style with Ballet-Inspired Edge

Pregnant with her third child, Rihanna showed once again why her street style draws as much attention as her music, pairing a tutu-inspired overlay with track pants on a shopping trip in Los Angeles.

The 37-year-old star was photographed on 9 September at International Silks & Woolens, a well-known fabric store in the city. Her outfit combined a short-sleeved black shirt with a dramatic tulle layer, worn over black nylon track pants trimmed with sharp white piping. White Puma cleats completed the look, striking a balance between performance and playfulness.

True to form, Rihanna amplified the outfit with jewellery that carried its own impact: a Renato Cipullo “R” pendant necklace, a silver spherical choker, stacked gold rings, and layers of gold bracelets. The combination of statement pieces added texture and shine, offsetting the simplicity of her monochrome clothing.

The appearance quickly drew attention as another example of how she continues to redefine maternity fashion. Rather than opting for conventionally tailored or understated looks, Rihanna has consistently embraced experimental silhouettes and styling, making her pregnancy wardrobe part of her ongoing fashion narrative.

For UK readers, the outing serves as timely inspiration. As autumn sets in, ballet-inspired layers paired with sportier separates, offer a practical yet distinctive option, showing that tulle and trainers can coexist in everyday wear. Rihanna’s Los Angeles look may have been captured on the other side of the Atlantic, but the styling lesson carries easily onto British streets.
