<p id=”par-1_106″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/rihanna/?swcfpc=1″>Rihanna</a> delighted the world when she subtly, and spectacularly, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/glowing-rihanna-baby-bump-asap-rocky-cannes.html/”>announced her third pregnancy</a> at <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/rihanna-debuts-baby-bump-met-gala.html/”>the 2025 Met Gala</a>. Draped in a sculpted Marc Jacobs ensemble that elegantly showcased her baby bump, she arrived on the red carpet in trademark style. She and A$AP Rocky are already parents to sons RZA (born 2022) and Riot (born 2023), and they seem overjoyed to be growing their family so close in age, with Rihanna previously expressing her hope for a daughter and a preference for names beginning with “R.” However, the star might have to deal with this undesirable postpartum issue that she dealt with in the past. </p>

<p id=”par-2_93″>Rihanna’s hair journey remains as dynamic and trendsetting as ever. In the spring of 2025, she unveiled a newly minted lob featuring a blunt, inward-curled finish, dyed a rich, deep black. But she hasn’t stayed tied to one look for long. Just months earlier, the music mogul embraced her natural curls in a cinnamon-toned pixie cut, showcasing and celebrating her texture with pride. Most recently, at an event during Paris Fashion Week, Rihanna’s hair was styled into a Pamela Anderson–inspired updo that combined curtain bangs, delicate baby braids, and an intricate messy bun.</p>
<p id=”par-3_33″>Rihanna admitted that she had to get creative with her hair following postpartum hair loss. In June 2024, she discussed the issue while at the Fenty Hair launch party in Los Angeles. </p>
<p id=”par-4_32″>“I did not expect it to happen in waves, either,” she expressed in an interview, as seen in a clip posted to <a href=”https://www.reddit.com/r/popculturechat/comments/1dwsxbb/rihanna_talks_about_postpartum_hair_loss_and_how/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Reddit</a>. “I thought it would just happen and grow back.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_53″>She then began pointing out “spots” in her hair where she noticed the hair loss the most. “And at that point, you’re like, alright, enough is enough,” Rihanna continued. “But I also learned to embrace that in itself. That actually just made me get a little more creative and clever with my hairstyles.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-rihanna-s-side-parted-hair-in-august-2025-made-a-serious-statement”>Rihanna’s side-parted hair in August 2025 made a serious statement</h2>
<p id=”par-6_104″>It’s not just Rihanna’s baby bump that’s getting attention. In early August 2025, the singer effortlessly elevated casual-chic with her latest hair moment. Spotted <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/pregnant-rihanna-shops-baby-clothes-beverly-hills.html/”>shopping in Beverly Hills on Aug. 7</a>, she wore her hair in deep, jet-black loose curls that flowed over her shoulders with elegant ease. A photo from <a href=”https://www.bustle.com/beauty/rihanna-y2k-blowout-side-part-bump-it” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Bustle</a> shows the subtle, deep side part and a soft side bang. Her outfit, which included a relaxed blazer, simple jeans, and a white tank, paired with this hairstyle, showcased an elevated everyday aesthetic. Complemented with a bright red manicure, neutral-toned lips, and a glowing complexion, the result was strikingly polished yet approachable.</p>
<p id=”par-7_56″>What makes this look particularly fall-appropriate is its understated drama. The side part isn’t just a styling choice, as it subtly reframes her facial features and adds movement, especially as the curls shift with her steps. Additionally, Rihanna created a good amount of volume in her hair by her crown, reminding Millennials of the “bump-it” days.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-fans-love-the-star-s-relatable-comments-on-pregnancy”>Fans love the star’s relatable comments on pregnancy</h2>
<p id=”par-8_23″>Rihanna always keeps it real with her fans. And many Reddit users found her comments on postpartum hair loss to be extremely relatable.</p>
<p id=”par-9_23″>“That’s actually something that not a lot of women talk about, and they feel a lot of shame about it,” one fan commented.</p>
<p id=”par-10_37″>“Really cool of her to not only open up about this but embrace it moving forward,” another fan wrote. “She’s absolutely gorgeous, so I’m sure it’s gotta extremely difficult to lose things that attributed to her beauty.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_34″>While fans can’t wait for <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/rihanna-baby-name-predictions-rebel-rogue-royal.html/”>the arrival of baby No. 3</a>, we’re sure Rihanna will continue to keep it real with parenting, fashion, and her personal life as she preps for this new chapter.</p>
