Unlike other celebrities who continue to court the spotlight in near-nude outfits, Rihanna’s days of baring her body are over, says a New York stylist.
She weighed in on the mother-of-two’s baggy clothes and said she was “unmotivated” to lose postpartum weight.

Rihanna, 36, responded to rumors on Tuesday that she was expecting her third child.
She promoted her Fenty line in Los Angeles and said Entertainment tonight she was “not pregnant.”
Speculations increased after the makeup mogul was seen with several baggy clothes covering her body.
When she celebrated her birthday in Milan, for example, Rihanna was dressed in a baggy outfit and covered by a gray jacket.
Stylist Tavia Sharp said surprisingly, Rihanna was feeling “embarrassed.”
The pop star also wore a large faux fur coat in New York.
“Rihanna’s sexy era and publicity is over forever,” Sharp told The US Sun.
“For the first time, Rihanna feels self-conscious about her body image.
“She was typically a trendsetter and people knew her as a global fashion icon.
“Now Rihanna is not feeling confident about her post-baby body.
“The baggy clothes show that she is also not motivated to get back to her pre-baby weight.”
The Fenty Beauty founder gave birth to Riot Rose in August.
This is Rihanna’s second child with her partner A$AP Rocky, who she began dating in 2020.
The couple’s first child, RZA, was born in 2022.
The new short hair is taking all the attention away from the body and curves, which are covered.

Interestingly, singer Diamond’s maternity clothes included sheer fabrics and bright colors before her first birth.
Her incredible confidence showed when she posed in jeans and a pink coat, which she left open for a magazine photo shoot.
COVER OR CLUTCH
Sharp said Rihanna did a 180° turn after her second birth.
“Rihanna had her kids almost back to back, so this is a body thing for her now,” she said.
“The first thing to consider is that she didn’t have much time between the two births.
“She started wearing awkward, heavy clothes.
She was the one who first rocked a nude dress the night she won a CDFA.

“Rihanna also has her hands in front of her body while holding and covering her frontal area.
“There are clunky belts, heavy leather jackets and a happy look where everything bubbles up front.
“This is a completely different look for her hair too.
“The new short hair is taking all the attention away from the body and curves, which are covered.”

From New York’s Met Gala to the streets of Barbados, Rhianna’s dresses and crop tops have always been revealing and controversial.
The Ocean’s 8 star’s CDFA appearance in 2014 provided her first step into Hollywood.
Celebrities have jumped on the bandwagon and opted for similar sheer looks.
Rihanna can say all she wants that she’s happy with her body.

At the time, the nine-time Grammy winner’s innovative nude dress showed her passion for taking risks.
She accepted the prestigious Fashion Icon Award.
NO MORE NAKED
Sharp said Barbadian beauty goes against the styles that Hollywood celebrities like Bianca Censori have since adopted.
“This now goes against the trend that she started and also against what most other celebrities are doing now,” she said.
“She was once the girl who wore see-through clothes way more than anyone else.
“She was the one who first rocked a nude dress the night she won a CDFA.
“Now we have the contrast with someone like Bianca Censori, who is out there wearing clear plastic and completely confident in her body.”

Interestingly, when it comes to body image and confidence, the Fenty founder has always maintained that she is in charge.
“You just need to laugh at yourself, honestly. I mean, I know when I’m having a fat day and when I’ve lost weight. I accept all bodies,” she told Vogue in 2018.
“I’m not built like a Victoria’s Secret girl and I still feel very beautiful and confident in my lingerie.”
ABOUT THE BOYS
Sharp’s claims now mark a dramatic change for Rihanna as she begins raising two boys.
“Rihanna can say all she wants that she’s happy with her body,” she said.
“That’s a mother thing, where she doesn’t feel one hundred percent confident.
“She’s still showing her upper cleavage, which is interesting.
“She has her bras out and that sexiness that she’s trying to keep up.
It’s as if Rihanna only feels sexy from the breasts up, which is a first for her.
Tavia Sharp
“But it is covering the lower half and preventing that area from being seen, including the legs.
“She would wear this coat even if it was so out of place, weather-wise.
“It’s like Rihanna only feels sexy from the breasts up, which is a first for her.
“Rihanna seems happy in her marriage, so the cover-up is not about that.
“But the cover-up of her body is about becoming a mother and, perhaps more importantly, a mother to two boys.”
