During an interview with "British Vogue," the soon-to-be mother of two spoke candidly about styling her son, among other things.

Much like his parents, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's son is well on his way to becoming a "Fashion Killa." The young one's mother has been designing her own Fenty products and putting together show-stopping outfits for years. His father is also a well-known style icon and has never been one to shy away from mixing women's clothing into his wardrobe. In fact, he even once described wearing pieces intended for the opposite sex as "punk."

At the same time, the "Rude Boy" hitmaker's looks – although often sexy in nature – incorporate masculine pieces like graphic tees, jerseys, and baggy pants frequently. Their little one is just 9 months old. Still, they're already passing off everything they know about looking fly to him (talk about generational wealth!). During her recent interview with British Vogue, Rih was candid about her plans for dressing her baby.

"One of my favourite outfits he has is a miniature version of one of Rocky’s," she explained. She was referencing a tartan kilt and ripped jeans that her partner previously wore on the cover of GQ. "I like to dress him in things that don’t look like baby clothes. I like to push it."

When purchasing pieces for the baby, Rihanna doesn't limit herself to the typical blue colour scheme for boys. "I put him in floral stuff, I put him in hot pink, I love that," she gushed to the outlet. "I think that fluidity in fashion is best, I always shop in the men’s department, you know."

Since she began sharing photos of him last December, Rihanna's little one has been the talk of the town. Of course, we still don't know his name. However, we are certain that he'll make an excellent big brother in just a few months' time. At this time, the only thing fans are more desperate for than updates on her offspring is information on her next album.

The 34-year-old hasn't blessed our ears since 2016's ANTI – apart from her recent work on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack. It remains unclear exactly what RiRi has in store for her next project, or when we'll see it land. She previously said it would be "ridiculous" for her not to drop in 2023, however, so chances are good we'll be satisfied before the year is up. Read more about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
