Apologies to Carrie Bradshaw, but Rihanna’s baguette bag looks a whole lot more delicious than the famous sequinned Fendi accessory. Following her Met Gala pregnancy announcement on Monday, Rihanna stepped out for dinner at Carbone New York while wearing the ultimate dinner bag: a crossbody satchel designed to look like a loaf of bread.
Rihanna was spotted wearing the tongue-in-cheek accessory (funnily enough, sourced from Fendi’s fall 2023 collection), as she walked to the Italian eatery, where she reportedly dined solo. The piece is molded into a literal baguette shape, with charring details along the top, and features a long zipper and a black strap. Rihanna has been a regular at Giorgio Baldi in L.A. for years (and has worn many a maternity look to the west coast establishment), and Carbone is notorious for their complimentary bread basket, which may explain the beauty mogul’s choice of dinner bag yesterday. We’d like to think she snuck a few actual loaves in there just in case the cravings hit later on.
Rihanna stayed casual for the rest of her look. She wore a pair of baggy jeans that sat just low enough on her figure to show off her pregnancy bump. Up top, Rihanna slipped into a striped red and white polo from Martine Rose and finished everything off with a New York Yankees hat and snakeskin print shoes.
This low-key dinner look is one of the first official glimpses of Rihanna’s maternity fashion after the singer unveiled that she’s expecting again in a custom Marc Jacobs outfit at the 2025 Met Gala. Already, this outfit alone is offering some hints as to how the Bad Gal will dress throughout her third pregnancy.
Certainly, the singer is sure to continue wearing her maternity staples: loose-fitting denim, bump-baring crop tops, and the occasional sheer dress or skirt for more formal occasions. But if her baguette bag is any indicator, it seems like the star might want to have even more fun with maternity dressing when compared to her previous two pregnancies. If so, we’re in for a treat.
