It’s been nearly three months since Rihanna broke the internet revealing her pregnancy, she now commemorates her first pregnancy and maternity fashion in this months Vogue Magazine wearing an all laced red catsuit with matching gloves and heels.
During her sit down with Vogue, Rihanna explained that these days she’s been craving a lot more sweet then salty. “I usually hate desserts, but all of a sudden you come close to me with a chocolate-covered donut and you’ve got my heart forever,” she says, giggling.
Another habit RiRi has been doing is eating fruit with salt, “It has to be with salt and only with salt, because in Barbados we take our fruits to the ocean and soak them,” she insists. “Trust me, it really is a thing,” she explains.

It’s clear that Rihanna and A$Ap Rocky are very happy right now. Rihanna embraced her time as a mom-to-be, “I think I even say yes to more now because I know it will be different on the other side of this,” she explains. “At first I expected some magical change, but really I remain who I am.”
But RiRi explained that she wasn’t exactly planning on having a baby right now, it just happened. “Planning? I wouldn’t say planning. But certainly not planning against it. I don’t know when I ovulate or any of that type of shit. We just had fun,” she says. “And then it was just there on the test. I didn’t waste any time. I called him inside and showed him. Then I was in the doctor’s office the next morning and our journey began.”

As for maternity clothing, Rihanna laughed and rolled her eyes at the thought of maternity jeans, “When I found out I was pregnant, I thought to myself, There’s no way I’m going to go shopping in no maternity aisle. I’m sorry—it’s too much fun to get dressed up. I’m not going to let that part disappear because my body is changing.” As for body changes, she points out that she hopes her looks will empower other moms-to-be, “I’m hoping that we were able to redefine what’s considered ‘decent’ for pregnant women,” she tells me. “My body is doing incredible things right now, and I’m not going to be ashamed of that. This time should feel celebratory. Because why should you be hiding your pregnancy?”
