An account dedicated to the star, @gabgonebad on X, showcased a variety of opinions with snapshots of Rihanna’s outfit. Comments flooded in, with one fan quipping, “What is my mom wearing…..” showcasing the disconnect between the star’s bold style and some of her fan’s expectations.
Another user chimed in, saying, “Not my favorite one but she’s still rockin it,” reflecting a more forgiving stance toward her choice. The outcry wasn’t limited to casual commentary alone; some users directed their frustrations towards Rihanna’s stylist, Jahleel Weaver, who held the position of creative director for her fashion house Fenty from 2019 to 2021. One commenter boldly declared, “Fire Jahleel immediately,” expressing their dissatisfaction with the stylist’s vision for the star’s latest look.
Despite the critical responses, not all of Rihanna’s followers were quick to dismiss her fashion choice. Some fans defended her originality and embraced her willingness to take risks in her style while demonstrating the polarizing nature of celebrity fashion.
“She’s always on point ,” a social media user said while another commented: “Ugh fluffy fashion I love it.”
Rihanna’s latest maternity outfit may not have landed favorably in the eyes of all her fans, but it certainly exemplifies her unwavering commitment to pushing fashion boundaries. Maternity fashion has evolved, and of that evolution, Rihanna has been a prominent figure, showing that style should not be sacrificed during pregnancy. Whether they love it or poke fun at it, one thing is clear: Rihanna continues to inspire discussion and intrigue in the fashion world, proving that trends come and go, but personal style is forever.
