Rihanna, 36, opened up about some of her past outfit choices and expressed mild regret over going topless in public and letting her “panties be out” at red carpet events.
British Vogue interviewed the singer on the red carpet of the Tobacco Dock launch of Fenty X Puma’s new brown creeper shoe where she admitted some of the “fashion icks” of her past.
“It’s going to sound hypocritical because I did so much s**t in my life, I had my nipples out, I had my panties out.
“But now those are the things, I guess as a mom, and an evolved young lady, emphasis on young, it’s just things that I feel I would never do, or I’m just like ‘oh my god, I really did that? Nips out?'” she confessed.
RIHANNA’S MAN
Rihanna first met her baby daddy A$AP Rocky, 35, in 2012, though their romance began in 2019.
In her recent cover story with Interview Magazine, she explained that they saw a lot of things in life in the same light.
“We saw fashion the same. We saw creative the same. We ended up in the same circles a lot.
“And past that, when we grew up, we ended up supporting each other’s brands and products and creative all the time.
“I would wear his s**t, he would show up to my launches. But it wasn’t until the end of 2019 [that we got together] …” she explained.
HONEST ABOUT LOVE
Rihanna noted that the pair were wary that entering a serious relationship might end in a difficult heartbreak.
“We’ve known each other for a long time. I’ve seen him in relationships. He’s seen me in relationships. We’ve seen each other outside of relationships.
“We knew what we’re capable of, and the trouble that we could bring to each other’s lives. We can make or break each other’s hearts.
“And so, we started dating with a lot of caution … I just let whatever was supposed to happen, happen. It was just, ‘This is a flower. It’s either going to die or blossom. But I’m going to let it decide itself,'” she recalled.
BABY ON THE WAY
In January 2022, Rihanna and Rocky shared the news that they were pregnant with their first child, and in May of that year, she welcomed their son RZA Athelston.
Then, in February 2023, the Barbadian native nearly broke the internet by announcing her second pregnancy during her Super Bowl performance, just eight months after giving birth to RZA.
In a previous interview with British Vogue, the songwriter shared insight on how parenthood changed the dynamic with her rapper partner.
“We’re best friends with a baby. We have to be on the same page, but we’ve always kind of had that in our relationship,” she shared.
“Everything changes when you have a baby but I wouldn’t say it’s done anything but made us closer.”
Oh my god, I really did that? Nips out?

HAPPY FATHER
Rihanna added that RZA and Rocky have a special bond, noting, “Their connection is undeniable. The second Rocky makes eye contact with him he is on fire.
“He is obsessed with his father. And I’m like: ‘Didn’t I give birth to you? What is going on?'”
In August 2023, the couple welcomed their second child, Riot Rose, and the source told People at the time that she feels her “family is complete.”
“It’s something she’s always wanted,” they revealed.
