In the morning of Jan. 31, 2021 photos were released of A$AP Rocky and Rihanna, which first revealed the pregnancy. In the photo that announced her pregnancy, Rihanna was wearing a vintage hot pink silk puffer coat, and a chain belt that were both from the 1996 fall Chanel collection. There was a glamor shot of her bare belly, ”showcasing a gold cross pendant and brooch styled as the focal point of a pearl-and-gemstone chain around her belly,” and, “The coat buttons, embellished with Gripoix crystals, mirrored the pendant’s elaborate decoration,” The Wall Street Journal wrote.
