Rihanna Balances Sporty Glam and Streetwear Romance in Puma × Jil Sander Sneakers and Miu Miu Mary Janes

Rihanna has completely redefined maternity style, constantly pushing boundaries with bold, unexpected fashion choices that blur the line between comfort and glamour.

She makes her baby bump the star of her outfits, turning pregnancy dressing into something unapologetically chic. This time around, though, with her bump nearing the final stretch, likely due around fall or early winter, Rihanna has switched things up.

Unlike her previous pregnancies, where belly-baring tops became her signature, Rihanna’s now leaning into more covered silhouettes. Still, even with her bump tucked away, her flair for mixing quirkiness and chic glamour remains.

Let’s take a look at her latest maternity outfit.

1. Sporty Balletcore: Rihanna in Simone Rocha Tutu Dress & Balenciaga Track Pants

Rihanna was pictured running errands in LA wearing an outfit that was equal parts playful, sporty, and opulent. She opted for a Simone Rocha creation that nodded to the balletcore trend dominating this season.

Though it looked like a simple cotton polo shirt up top, complete with a collar and a button-down placket, Rocha gave it a whimsical twist by layering it with cascading sheer nylon tulle. The tiered ruffles flowed from the chest down to the hem, creating a tutu-inspired silhouette that felt dreamy and chic.

Even the short sleeves featured sheer trims, adding a soft, ethereal touch to the otherwise casual polo base. This piece combined sporty polish and romantic fantasy.

Instead of wearing the top as a mini dress, Rihanna paired it with Balenciaga 3B Sports Icon Cotton Fleece track pants, keeping the look sporty and practical.

The loose-fitting pants featured white side stripes, bringing RiRi’s signature streetwear edge to the ensemble. It was an unexpected pairing, but very much in line with Rihanna’s style, considering she has a way of mixing contrasts, often blending streetwear with high fashion.

2. Bold Accessories: Rihanna’s Gold Chains, Royal Oak Watch & Louis Vuitton Speedy

Rihanna took her outfit to new heights with her bold accessories. Around her neck, she layered a thick gold choker, a dazzling diamond tennis necklace, and a gold Marie Lichtenberg Scapular necklace that dangled just below.

On her wrist, she stacked chunky gold chain bracelets alongside an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak rose gold watch with a pink dial, while her fingers sparkled with a massive XIV Karats custom Mom Gold and Diamond Ring.

Rihanna added a touch of timeless luxury to her modern look with a $3,500 Louis Vuitton Speedy Soft 30 bag from the 57th Street NYC collection, which celebrates New York and its vibrant lifestyle. Crafted from the house’s signature Monogram-coated canvas, the bag featured a bold yellow lining as a nod to the city’s iconic taxis.

It was adorned with playful details, including a Big Apple charm, a printed name tag, and a decorative silver chain for added character. At the same time, the double-zip closure and top or shoulder Toron handles made it functional.

RiRi styled her hair in a messy yet chic curly updo, with tendrils framing her face. Her makeup was kept pared-back and natural, highlighting her pregnancy glow.

3. Streetwear Edge: Puma by Jil Sander Spike Sneakers Balance Balletcore

The perfect finishing touch to Rihanna’s comfy maternity ensemble was a pair of sneakers, and she chose one that’s intriguing. She dug into the archives, pulling out Puma by Jil Sander spike sneakers from their 2002 collaboration.

These eye-catching shoes, inspired by Astroturf-esque footwear, featured tumbled leather uppers with diagonal top-stitching across the toe box, a layered Formstripe, a branded tongue flap, rope laces, and an exaggerated notched spike outsole for traction.

These sporty shoes gave Rihanna’s look an edge that balanced the girly tutu top and luxe accessories.

4. Retro Bump Style: Striped Polo & Balenciaga Baggy Jeans

Earlier this month, Rihanna was spotted running errands in LA with A$AP Rocky, wearing an outfit that perfectly blended casual streetwear with elegant high-fashion accents.

She wore a striped yellow-and-blue polo shirt that fit snugly around her growing baby bump. The stripes added a playful, retro-inspired edge to the piece, while the fitted silhouette proudly showcased her pregnancy.

Adding her signature twist to the look, Rihanna teamed her polo with oversized Balenciaga Destroyed Super Large Cotton Baggy Jeans. These distressed jeans, with exaggerated rips and a slouchy fit, contrasted with her fitted top, lending the look her signature, comfortable, and relaxed vibe.

5. Off-Duty Luxe: Rihanna Styles Distressed Denim With Miu Miu Mary Janes

She wore her curly hair in loose natural waves and topped her features with sleek black sunglasses for that off-duty celebrity look.

Her accessories elevated her entire ensemble. She wore a variety of gold chain bracelets on her wrist in addition to her luxury Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch. Her Louis Vuitton 57th Street NYC Speedy Soft 30 bag, slung casually over her shoulder, added another layer of luxury to the look.

The most striking detail, though, was her shoes. Rihanna finished her outfit with Miu Miu Mary Jane pumps, bringing feminine refinement to an otherwise casual streetwear ensemble.

Celebrity Style in Miu Miu Mary Janes

Rihanna isn’t the only star elevating her looks with Miu Miu’s iconic Mary Janes. From red carpets to street style, other celebrities have also embraced the label’s playful yet polished designs. Here are a few standout moments:

Crafted in Italy from glossy white patent calf leather, Rihanna’s shoes featured contrasting black square cap toes, an elegant instep strap with a silver-tone chain hardware and a pearl button, and a chic slingback strap. They were finished with 2.5-inch block heels, striking a balance between comfort and sophistication.

These shoes, available for $1,200 at Mytheresa, softened the ruggedness of Rihanna’s jeans.
