Wartagate.com - Renowned singer and fashion icon Rihanna recently shared some of the challenges she has faced after becoming a mother, particularly in the realm of fashion.
The multi-talented artist, who has two young sons, RZA and Riot, with her partner A$AP Rocky, admitted that she is currently in the process of rediscovering her personal style after childbirth.
In an exclusive cover story for the March issue of Harper’s Bazaar under "The Legacy" edition, Rihanna opened up about how dressing up has become more challenging since giving birth. She acknowledged that her approach to fashion has shifted, now prioritizing practicality over glamour.
"I feel like getting dressed has become its own battle," Rihanna admitted in an interview, as reported by People on Monday, February 24. "Everything is so... logical. What makes sense? What is easy? What is quick? I try not to overthink it, but when I have to leave the house, it makes me hesitate."
She also reflected on the amount of energy she wants to dedicate to dressing up and embracing her signature glamorous style. "You go through this phase where everything feels like a blur. But fashion is fun, and I miss that fun," she expressed.
In addition to fashion struggles, Rihanna also spoke openly about experiencing hair loss after childbirth, a condition many women face but is rarely discussed.
"I didn’t expect postpartum hair loss to come in waves. I thought it would just happen all at once and then grow back," she revealed during a conversation with Refinery29 at the Fenty Hair launch event in June 2024.
She admitted that this side effect of pregnancy was not something she had anticipated. "No one really prepares you for this in any postpartum guidebook. You start noticing patches of hair falling out, and at that moment, you just tell yourself that being okay is enough," Rihanna shared.
Despite these changes, she has found ways to adapt and embrace her evolving look. "I’ve learned to be more creative and smart when it comes to styling my hair," she added.
Even before discussing her postpartum journey, Rihanna had already revolutionized maternity fashion with her bold and unapologetic style. When she first announced her pregnancy in 2022, she made headlines by stepping out in New York City wearing a bright pink puffer coat with the buttons undone, proudly showing off her baby bump.
In 2023, she surprised the world once again when she revealed her second pregnancy during her iconic Super Bowl Halftime performance.
Throughout her motherhood journey, Rihanna has continued to challenge conventional norms, proving that fashion and self-expression don’t have to be sacrificed after becoming a parent. While she is still navigating the complexities of postpartum life, her honesty about these challenges makes her even more relatable to women worldwide.
By sharing her experiences with fashion and hair loss, Rihanna is shedding light on the realities of motherhood, inspiring countless others to embrace the changes that come with it while finding new ways to express themselves.
