Rihanna walked so Megan could run.
Rihanna will forever be credited for flipping the script on maternity style. Redefining what it meant to be pregnant in the 2020s, the singer avoided baggy clothes in favor of pieces that showed off her bump (think: crop tops, sheer gowns, and belly chains) while expecting her first child, son RZA, with partner A$AP Rocky. And now, it appears as if Megan Fox is coming for her throne.
On Friday, Fox—who is pregnant with her fourth child (her first with fiancé Machine Gun Kelly)—gave Rihanna a run for her money in a bump-baring lace lingerie look. Reminiscent of the iconic black mesh babydoll dress the singer wore to the Dior runway show during Paris Fashion Week, Fox posed in a see-through black lace mermaid gown with bell sleeves and cutouts on each side of her waist on her makeup artist Jenna Kristina’s Instagram page.
She wore a matching black bra and thong underneath the barely-there dress and accessorized with a black lace veil that partially covered her waist-length dark brunette waves. The actress complemented her natural pregnancy glow with a swipe of peach lipgloss and smoldering smoky eye makeup.
Earlier this week, Fox first announced that she was expecting with a nude photoshoot on Instagram. "Nothing is ever really lost. welcome back 👼🏼❤️," she wrote alongside a snapshot of her cradling her stomach while naked and covered in black paint. Meanwhile, the next slide showed a positive pregnancy test.
Her caption quoted song lyrics from MGK’s “Last November,” which detailed his and Fox’s past pregnancy loss. “I had never been through anything like that before in my life,” Fox previously shared of her miscarriage while speaking with Good Morning America in 2023. “I have three kids, so it was very difficult for both of us, and it sent us on a very wild journey together and separately and together and apart…trying to navigate, ‘What does this mean?’ and ‘Why did this happen?’”
