The expecting parents dropped by Dua Lipa's bash at Virgo in NYC late on Monday night.

The responses to Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's two Met Gala appearances together have been mixed. In 2021, the famous pair went with oversized vibes. The rapper used a blanket as a cloak while his partner wore an extra-long Balenciaga coat, keeping herself concealed. They previously skipped out on appearing in 2022. This year, however, Rihanna made it clear she would be stepping out in style. Last weekend, she teased the big news in a vintage Chanel outfit during a dinner in New York. Some have said that Rih's prelude look was even better than the one she served at the main event.

While her extravagant, floral design, accessorized with eyelash-clad sunglasses obviously wasn't for everyone, the look the expecting mother wore for Dua Lipa's after-party has the internet singing her praise. The all-white set was put together just for Rihanna by Chrome Hearts. It comfortably conceals her upper half while allowing her budding baby bump to sit above the matching skirt, which comes with a flirtatious slit up the front.

Rihanna and Rocky's Iconic After-Party Outfits

Throughout her second pregnancy, Rihanna continues to wear heels – these ones beautifully lacing up around her calves. Her accessories included white rectangle sunglasses, elegant pearls, and a small clutch. As for Rocky, his late-night look included jeans (though these ones weren't bedazzled like the ones he wore on the red carpet), work under a beige trench coat, and a tie. He kept the details simple, matching his thick black boots to the sunglasses shielding his eyes from the paparazzi cameras.

While they brought him out and about plenty during their time in Paris, Baby Fenty stayed at home during his parent's night out in NYC. Earlier on in her pregnancy, the soon-to-be mother of two shared a photo of her oldest on IG crying, joking that he was upset over being stuck at home during the Oscars while the sibling growing in her tummy got to sing on stage with her.
