Rihanna Redefines Maternity Fashion with Bold Cutout Styles

Pregnant women are no longer expected to conceal their figures under shapeless clothing. Celebrities like Rihanna are spearheading a shift towards fashionable and even daring maternity wear. She emphasizes enjoying pregnancy and expressing personal style through clothing. Rihanna has embraced cut-out dresses as a signature maternity style. At the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, she wore a turquoise Alaïa gown featuring strategic belly cut-outs. She later sported a little black dress with a prominent torso cut-out and a thigh-high slit while in the South of France. She complemented her look with $745 lucite heels from Manolo Blahnik. Rihanna accessorized minimally with a gold watch and Alaïa's Le Teckel Clutch. This elongated clutch with tiny top handles is a new take on their viral handbag design.
