Rihanna's photo shows her lifting up her jersey to reveal her baby bump, but many eyes were immediately drawn to the background of the picture
On Wednesday night, Rihanna shared a new picture of her baby bump along with previously-published ones - but fans of the singer and billionaire businesswoman were left surprised by a detail they noticed in the photograph. Rihanna had revealed earlier this week that she is expecting her first child with boyfriend A$AP Rocky. Her new photo shows her lifting up her jersey to reveal her baby bump, but many eyes were immediately drawn to the background of the picture. The photo appears to have been taken in a less-than-luxurious bathroom, which surprised a number of social media users who wondered what Rihanna - with an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion - was doing in a "basic" white-tiled bathroom. Whose normal bathroom is this! pic.twitter.com/vrnes4g66e what's rihanna doing in a run of the mill apartment bathroom??? girl u r a billionaire pic.twitter.com/I5kPMnyj63 why does bad girl @rihanna have such a basic bathroom 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/JXwy7rkGzz “Nobody is featuring this bathroom in Architectural Digest. But here's Rihanna, a billionaire, throwing up her first Instagram pregnancy photo of herself in the most no frills way possible and once again upending expectations.” Not people upset that Rihanna posted a ‘basic' pic of her belly while in a ‘basic' bathroom. ????I personally LOVE IT. I feel like she's about to challenge some of the toxic aesthetic expectations around pregnancy/postpartum and I'm here for it.
