Rihanna graces the cover of Vogue for the seventh time for the May issue…here’s a look at what goes in to creating her looks! She has been turning heads with her bold maternity style, and that was the point. “I’m hoping that we were able to redefine what’s considered ‘decent’ for pregnant women,” she told Vogue. “My body is doing incredible things right now, and I’m not going to be ashamed of that. This time should feel celebratory. Because, why should you be hiding your pregnancy?”

She hasn’t had morning sickness and has been able to handle mood swings more easily than she expected. “I was bracing myself for something insane because I knew I wouldn’t have my usual coping mechanism: I can’t just go and smoke a joint right now,” she says. “But I was pleasantly surprised that I’ve been able to manage.” But that doesn’t mean the pregnancy was something they were expecting. “I wouldn’t say planning. But certainly not planning against it,” she admits.
