In a candid interview with Vogue, global music icon and fashion trendsetter Rihanna opened up about her changing perspective on fashion and personal style since becoming a mother. The singer, who has made headlines in the past for her bold and often revealing outfit choices, expressed some regrets about her previous fashion statements.
Looking back at her past ensembles, particularly those featuring bikinis and other revealing attire, Rihanna shared her astonishment at her earlier choices. “Whenever I look back at my bikini fashion, I wonder if I really did that,” she confessed.
Rihanna, who is a mother to two sons with her partner A$AP Rocky, highlighted how motherhood has significantly influenced her current sense of style. “It is going to sound hypocritic but… I did so much sh*t in my life. I had my nipples out, my panties out,” she told Vogue. The star then added, reflecting on her evolution, “But now those are the things that I guess as a mum and evolved young lady, I would never do. I’m just like, ‘Oh! My God, I really did that?”
The couple, who confirmed their relationship a year before welcoming their first son RZA on May 19, 2022, recently expanded their family with the birth of their second son, Riot Ross, in August 2023.
Rihanna’s reflection on her personal and stylistic evolution underscores a new chapter in her life, where her roles as a mother and a role model shape her public persona and fashion choices. The singer’s candidness about her past and her openness to change resonates with fans who have followed her transformative journey over the years.
