Rihanna Wears Nothing But Body Chains in a Sensual Nude Maternity Shoot

Is it getting hot in here, or is it just Rihanna?

The soon-to-be mom-of-two is reminiscing about her first pregnancy with her baby son, one-year-old RZA. On Instagram, she shared throwback photos from a sensual nude maternity shoot that took place last year before he was born.

Amongst palm leaves and on a sun-drenched balcony in front of the ocean, the singer posed wearing nothing but a bejeweled body chain draped over her chest, black underwear, black-and-white snakeskin pumps, and plenty of bling. Her jewelry consisted of diamond and gold bracelets, chunky gold rings, and bejeweled anklets.

“Here’s a little series I call ‘Rub on ya titties,’” Rihanna cheekily captioned the post. She added, “In honor of my first pregnancy, embracing motherhood like a g, and the magic that this body made! Baby RZA… he in there not having a clue how nuts his mama is, or how obsessed he was bout to make me #maternityshoot2022 #tobecontinued.”

Now, Rihanna is expecting her second child with longtime boyfriend A$AP Rocky.

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the 2023 Met Gala earlier this month, the Fenty Beauty mogul explained how this pregnancy is “so different” from her first with little RZA.

“It’s so different from the first one,” she told the outlet. “No cravings. Tons of nausea. Everything’s different, but I’m enjoying it ... I feel good. I feel energetic.”

Rihanna and Rocky welcomed RZA in May 2022. She opened up further at the Met Gala about her tight bond with her son.

“I’m in love. I’m obsessed and I don’t even feel guilty about it,” the Grammy winner said.

Rocky added, “[He’s] growing big. Beautiful, happy baby.”
