After several years of trying to get Rihanna to agree, at the halftime super bowlfinally the star of Barbados accepted thanks Jay Z. When the organizers of the sporting event announced their spectacular attendance, high expectations were raised among their fans and the general public, as it would not only be their return to the stage some six years after their last concert, but also their first show after they became a mother for the first time.
Everyone expected his show to be full of choreography accompanying his most famous songs, but it wasn’t. Although he stood out among his dancers who threw it all on stage, what caught the most attention was that he announced indirectly the sweet expectation of their second child A$AP Rocky.

It didn’t matter that Rihanna was on a flying platform, because eyes focused on finding out if she was pregnant or not. And it is that until this moment she had not revealed that she became pregnant for the second time about two months after the birth of the firstborn, because she waited until the show that she had agreed to announce it to the whole world .
To do this, the Umbrella interpreter showed off her baby bump at around four months pregnant in a red monochromatic outfit that consisted of a sheer bodysuit, top, baggy pants, supportive sneakers and two coats.

It was exactly one of these coats that made headlines, and not just because of the advertising. It’s about the big Rihanna wore a bright red coat when she performed diamonds to wrap up his halftime show at Super Bowl LVII. And it’s not just a Norma Kamali exclusive, it has a very special meaning for the singer from Barbados.
It was the artist herself who took to her social media to explain the powerful and moving reason why she chose to take to the stage wearing this particular piece of clothing. It’s a favorite of Andre Leon Talleyan American journalist known for filling gaps so the African American community could access the world of fashion.
And it is that during his career he served as the editor of Fashion Opening up spaces for cultural diversity. He also supported artists of African origin such as Rihanna, with whom he was a great friend until the last days of his life (died January 18, 2022). Because of this important reason, the Barbados native decided to pay tribute to her during her most anticipated show.
Ever since the We Found Love singer ended her controversial romance with Chris Brown, she’s been trying to keep her private life out of the spotlight. However, he occasionally shares pictures of his family on his social media or poses with rapper A$AP Rocky at prestigious events. Still, no one noticed she was pregnant again until her show at Super Bowl LVII.

And that Sunday, February 12, wasn’t the first time in 2023 that the singer had been caught on television cameras. It was on January 10th that he walked the red carpet together at the Golden Globes to celebrate his outstanding participation on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack with the theme lift me up.
Her pregnancy would have remained a mystery thanks to the fact that she used a voluminous black dress in a large coat and diamond necklace. The silhouette of Schiaparelli’s dress and its piercing black color allowed to hide Rihanna’s stomach.
