Following the birth of her son last May, many Rihanna fans expected the 35-year-old to take some time out of the spotlight to adjust to such a major life change before making a major comeback. Their predictions weren't exactly inaccurate, though many thought that she'd be announcing the arrival of her next album before revealing another pregnancy. During her Super Bowl Halftime performance earlier this month, the singer proudly put her budding bump on display, sharing the exciting news without actually saying a word.
Her first time carrying a child saw Rihanna boldly experimenting with her style. Many of her outfits were very revealing, giving the Fenty Beauty founder a chance to hone her confidence while waiting for her firstborn. This time around she's been a bit more conservative as far as showing skin, though we can't deny that her "Fashion Killa" status is still intact.
PETA Puts Pressure on Rihanna
After taking some time to recover from the intense preparation that went into her return to the stage, one of the first looks we saw the Barbadian-born beauty rock was baggy jeans, a graphic tee (featuring her bump peaking out the tiniest bit), and a long fur coat. Her vibe is effortlessly "cool girl," and while many fans think she looks fabulous, PETA is calling Rihanna out for allegedly wearing real fur. According to TMZ, senior vice president Lisa Lange wrote a letter to her team expressing concerns over her outfit.
"As a mother, you know what it's like to feel protective and to want to make sure no harm comes to your family," she wrote to the lingerie designer. "Please understand that this desire – this instinct even – is shared by the minks, foxes, and rabbits who are torn away from their families and killed for their fur." The animal rights organization then asks Rihanna to consider making a pledge to stop wearing fur upon reading the letter.
Additionally, they offered to take any animal items out of her closet and donate them to those struggling in Syria and Turkey due to the recent earthquakes. Seeing as they're requesting the Bad Gal give up a seriously stylish piece, PETA is also helping to relieve her burden by sending over a faux fur coat from Unreal Fur in an effort to make the cruelty-free switch easier on her. It's worth noting that Rihanna has been wearing real fur for years, though she previously won an award for creating faux leather products at Fenty.
RiRi & Rocky's Fashion Week Fits
Clearly, the "Desperado" singer isn't letting PETA's request bother her too much. Rather, she's embracing the finer things in life overseas at Milan Fashion Week with her beau A$AP Rocky. Paparazzi snapped photos of the couple arriving in the country earlier this week, RiRi happily carrying her baby boy in her arms after deplaning. The Testing rapper was one of the many celebrities in attendance at the Gucci show, and following that, he and his partner stepped out for date night in Italy.
Rihanna opted to wear various shades of orange for their night on the town, including a sleek silk dress with a flirty leg slit and a darker-coloured bomber to keep her and her bump warm. Rocky donned jeans with a unique silhouette, a white tee, and a black leather jacket.
