What does the concept of being “fashionably late” mean to you? 10-15 minutes to give your host some grace? Well, for Rihanna it means being the one to close out every Met Gala red carpet (while announcing your third babyand still winning with your look) and the final star to take your fashion week front row seat. It doesn’t look great on everyone, but the world stops and starts for Rih Rih.
Except for yesterday evening, in Paris. Rihanna and her young son Riot Rose stepped out in the city for an appointment at Dior on Avenue Montaigne, to find the boutique was unexpectedly closed. By reports, though, it was 1a.m. The pop star kept up her striking maternity style street style though, wearing a navy layered shrunken polo by Alexander Wang that sat above her bump, as well as some turned down gray cargo pants from the brand, and black ballet flats.
And despite her vast and varied handbag collection, she’s kept her new canary yellow and red stitched Dior book tote on her arm for her entire Paris trip so far—the Bram Stoker’s Dracula-emblazoned bag by new creative director Jonathan Anderson, who Rih has supported through both his Loewe days and his eponymous brand. She wore her hair up with loose curly pieces, a slick two-tone lip, and a pair of oval spectacles. Son Riot Rose—who she shares with partner A$AP Rocky—looked adorable in a striped blue and gray two piece, checkerboard Vans slip-ons, and a pacifier as his own star accessory.
Rihanna, Riot, and Rocky have made the most of their time in Paris. Rih attended Anderson’s debut and Dior spring 2026 men’s show wearing a maternity spin on corporate core: A full look that incorporated prints and details from the runway in cool mint and cornflower blue tones. Later, along with Riot, she sat front row for A$AP Rocky’s AWGE presentation, carrying the aforementioned Dior book tote. And later in the evening, she stepped out again with Rocky in a ripped and shredded, custom Rick Owens gown.
Well, whether she’s knocking at the door of Dior or cosplaying Smurfette in baby blue Chanel, Rihanna remains a fashion killer.
