This is the second year in a row that the "Diamonds" singer has spent her birthday carrying a baby.

With the beginning of Pisces season comes a particularly important moment that deserves celebration – Rihanna's birthday. On Monday (February 20), the ANTI hitmaker celebrated her 35th trip around the Sun, fresh off her legendary headlining performance at the Super Bowl Halftime show. Many in the crowd were simply excited to see the starlets return to the stage, but in her usual fashion, she shocked them all by revealing her second pregnancy as she sang.

The news was undeniably shocking, though it drummed up serious excitement regarding her upcoming outfits. In the past, we've seen Rihanna take some bold style risks, mixing sexy, feminine pieces with oversized masculine garments. For her birthday, she appears to have taken a refined approach, stepping out in a little white dress with an oversized coat dropped over her shoulders.

RiRi's Big Birthday Bash

To celebrate her 35th, the expecting mother took a trip to her favourite Santa Monica eatery, Giorgio Baldi. She was obviously joined by her beau, A$AP Rocky, and other friends like Melissa Forde and Rorrey Fenty were also in attendance. As TMZ notes, the restaurant showed out for Rihanna the same way she does for them, covering the venue in balloons to help set the party mood.

She looked as glamorous as ever while blowing out the candles on her decadent cake. At the top of the black and white dessert was a stick figure recreation of her infamous cartoon Instagram profile photo, earning a laugh from plenty of fans. This new chapter of her life has only just begun, but so far, it sounds like 35 will be a big one for Rihanna. Not only will we meet her and Rocky's new baby, but she's also hinted at the possibility of a new album landing before 2023 is up.

During her first pregnancy, Rihanna put her "Fashion Killa" skills on full display. Even as her bump grew bigger and bigger, the Fenty Beauty founder continued to show out in sexy, skin-barring looks that live rent-free in our heads to this day. Specifically, Fashion Week in various European countries saw some of her most captivating looks.

Since announcing her second baby at the Super Bowl earlier this month, we've begun to see a preview of what the Barbadian beauty is planning to serve up this time around. Just a few days ago, she gave fans a small peek at her belly while sporting a Godzilla graphic tee and an oversized fur coat.
