Rihanna is reminding everyone that casual cool is her specialty—and maternity style is her runway.

The beauty mogul stepped out in a yellow, blue and gray striped tee with a gray collar and short V-neck, a total throwback to the ’90s. She paired it with ultra–low-rise baggy ripped Balenciaga jeans, letting her growing baby bump take center stage. The look was finished with black-and-white Mary Jane heels—the 37-year-old’s latest stamp of approval on the viral “wrong shoe theory.”

Striped tees like this were a bona fide staple in the ’90s. Think mall-rat skaters, laid-back grunge kids and every cool teen sitcom character. From Abercrombie shelves to GAP campaigns, the easy-to-wear staple became the decade’s uniform—oversized, boxy and almost always tucked into baggy denim. It’s been bubbling back into mainstream fashion over the last couple of years, with brands like Miu Miu leading the revival. Rihanna’s take proves it’s not just nostalgic; it’s timeless.

Motherhood looks good on Rihanna

And of course, no one does bump-baring chic like Rihanna. She and A$AP Rocky already share two kids, RZA and Riot. Each of her pregnancies has turned sidewalks, red carpets and even Super Bowl stages into fashion moments. This latest outing keeps that tradition alive—effortless, bold and completely her.

Earlier this week, the Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty founder was spotted in a similar striped long-sleeve top from Miu Miu, styled with light-wash ripped jeans and pink Puma Speedcat sneakers. The vibe was still retro, but with a sporty twist.

The 9-time Grammy Award-winning artist is kind of rebranding pregnancy, and we’re totally here for it.
