Rihanna ended up being one of the most talked about people at this year’s Met Gala ... before even getting to the event.

Word that the star was expecting her third child began to circulate after her go-to photographer, Miles Diggs, posted a photo of his muse arriving at the Carlyle Hotel wearing a stomach-baring cropped ensemble before the big gala.

Representatives for the star did not immediately return HuffPost’s request for comment.

The “Umbrella” singer has a flair for the dramatic when it comes to family news, however.

Diggs helped her announce her first pregnancy with a series of chic paparazzi photos, and the star revealed she was expecting a second time while performing at the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show.

Rihanna and parter A$AP Rocky welcomed their first child, son RZA, in May 2022 and their second, Riot, in August 2023.

Rocky walked the red carpet of the Met Gala solo, looking sharp in a charcoal suit he designed in collaboration with his creative agency AWGE. Adding extra opulence, he dressed up his outfit with a paisley tie and plenty of gold accessories.

Rihanna previously talked about expanding her family last April during a sit-down with Interview magazine.

Asked how many siblings she wants RZA and Riot to have, she said, “As many as God wants me to have ... I don’t know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course, if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.”
