Rihanna’s maternity style has been anything but basic, and that sentiment definitely holds true for the outfit she chose to wear for an Oscars afterparty hosted by Beyoncé and JAY-Z at the Chateau Marmont. The singer and entrepreneur tossed aside any outdated bump-styling rules there may be with a gorgeous sheer gown by Valentino. Her daring look was from Valentino’s fall/winter 2022 collection and consisted of a super-sheer top with poofy organza sleeves and a sequin skirt. She wore only a black bandeau as a layering piece, highlighting her growing baby bump from underneath the bodice of the dress.
As for her accessories, the star wore a pair of black bedazzled gloves that added a touch of glamour to the ensemble. Instead of balancing in heels, the singer chose comfort with white sneakers that had tall platform soles, and she finished the look with large, diamond-encrusted hoops. Celebrity hairstylist, Yusef Williams, styled her in a zigzag part, a subtle nod to the ’90s beauty trend.
Rihanna posted an Instagram of her outfit with the caption, “me and my date for Oscar Gold Party,” with the hashtag “#bump22.” While her look was certainly standout, there has been a lot of controversy surrounding the location of the “gold party” as hospitality union workers have been boycotting the Chateau Marmont hotel due to allegations of employee mistreatment, according to the Los Angeles Times. Celebrities like Gabrielle Union, Spike Lee, and Issa Rae have all spoken out in support of the boycott.
Ahead, see Rihanna from all angles as she made her way out for the evening.
