Rihanna, Other Celebs Who Rocked the Met Gala Pregnant

The Met Gala has always been a place where fashion gets bold, dramatic, and sometimes downright wild, but when these celebrities hit the carpet while pregnant, they added something even more unforgettable, baby bumps wrapped in couture.

At the 2025 Met Gala, Rihanna stole the spotlight once again, not just for her stunning look, but for the big news she carried with her, quite literally. The billionaire mogul and music icon is expecting her third child with A$AP Rocky, and she made the reveal in true Rihanna fashion, with flair, confidence, and style that screamed fashion royalty.

It’s not even her first time doing this. Back in 2023, she proudly showed up at the Met Gala while pregnant with her second son, just a few months after that iconic Super Bowl halftime performance where she broke the news to the world.

But Rihanna isn’t the only one who’s turned the Met carpet into a maternity runway. Over the years, a few other stars have confidently brought their glow and their bumps to fashion’s biggest night. Here are some other celebrities who have brought their maternity game to the Met Gala.

Kim Kardashian, 2015

Long before she became a Met Gala regular, Kim made waves in a custom Roberto Cavalli piece while pregnant with Saint West. She didn’t downplay her bump, instead, she leaned into her usual body-hugging style and made sure the moment was memorable. It was bold, controversial, and exactly what the Met Gala thrives on.

Kerry Washington, 2016

Kerry Washington took things in a darker direction, and it worked. While pregnant with her second child, she arrived in a black lace gown by Marc Jacobs, giving full-on gothic glam. It was edgy, it was bold, and it showed that pregnancy fashion doesn’t have to play it safe.

Blake Lively, 2016

Blake Lively didn’t make a big announcement, but fans were already guessing when she arrived in a soft pink Burberry gown that flowed beautifully across the carpet. She was in the early stages of pregnancy with her second child, and while she kept things understated, the glow didn’t lie.

Serena Williams, 2017

Tennis legend Serena Williams brought elegance and power in one look when she walked the Met Gala pregnant with her first child, Alexis Olympia. Her green Atelier Versace gown was dramatic in all the right ways, and she looked every bit the champion she is on and off the court. 

Then in 2023, she did it again, using the Met Gala as her personal announcement runway for baby number two.

Cardi B, 2021

Cardi B doesn’t do subtle, and she didn’t let pregnancy slow her down either. While pregnant with her daughter Kulture, she rocked a dramatic bejeweled gown paired with a gold headpiece that looked straight out of a royal fantasy. Her look was powerful, fearless, and pure Cardi, owning the carpet while embracing motherhood.
