Rihanna is throwing it back to her maternity era.

This Thanksgiving weekend, the Barbadian singer and businesswoman is showing what she’s thankful for with a photo from this past summer when she was visibly pregnant with the latest addition to her family.

In September, the “Umbrella” singer gave birth to her third child with her partner A$AP Rocky — daughter Rocki Irish Mayers — a few months later, she’s taking the opportunity to reminisce about her summer looks.

Though now a common practice, Rihanna was one of the first major celebrities in recent memory to embrace her pregnancy frame.

Beginning with her first pregnancy in 2022, Rihanna’s maternity style has been truly remarkable.

Throughout all three pregnancies, the global superstar routinely bared her growing bump in public instead of hiding behind oversized clothing or strategically placed accessories.

From skin-tight looks to open-front layers, sheer tops and bejeweled belly chains, Rihanna’s bump-centric ensembles get better every time.

On Sunday night, the 37-year-old posted a slideshow of photos on Instagram, celebrating the 59th year of Barbados’ independence from Great Britain and the 4th year as a republic.

“Barbados I L🇧🇧VE YOU!!!!” she wrote, along with a note of support for Jeffrey Bostic, Barbados’ second president.

The post featured several photos of Rihanna and her family at home, enjoying the sun, sand and Caribbean Sea together.

In one of the images, she poses on the beach next to the waves in a green string bikini with stacked gold bangles, her oversized pinky ring, and coordinating green sunglasses.

Rihanna also donned a long belly chain that drew attention to her growing baby bump.

It wasn’t long after the photo was taken that Rocki entered the world on Sept. 13, 2025, making this newly released pregnancy photo an extra special moment in Rihanna’s pregnancy style journey.
