Rihanna has never followed fashion rules. And nothing proves that more than her long-running love for pajama-inspired looks. Whether she’s walking a red carpet, stepping out in New York at midnight, or embracing maternity style, Rihanna has turned the cozy bedroom essential into a high-fashion statement.
Let’s dive into how she’s made pajama-core her own, and why her latest maternity take feels like the perfect full-circle moment.
In her recent street style outing, Rihanna leaned into comfort and elegance with striped button-down pajamas in blush and cream. She elevated the look with layered jewelry, chic sunglasses, nude heels, and a silk scarf tied around her head. With her hand resting gently on her baby bump, she turned what could’ve been loungewear into a celebration of ease and confidence.

This isn’t Rihanna’s first pajama moment in the spotlight. She’s been championing the look for over a decade.

Why Rihanna’s Pajama Style Works
Rihanna’s pajamas stand out because they balance ease with glamour. She plays with textures—silk, satin, lace, and cotton—while styling them with unexpected accessories: diamonds, heels, statement sunglasses, or even lingerie peeking through.

The result is always a reminder that fashion doesn’t have to be uncomfortable to be powerful.
Pajama-Core as Empowerment
Rihanna shows that comfort and style aren’t mutually exclusive by embracing pajama dressing during pregnancy. Her maternity look feels like a natural continuation of her fashion philosophy of wearing what feels good, owning it with confidence, and letting accessories do the rest.
So, the next time you think twice about stepping out in a silky pajama set, remember that Rihanna already did it and made it iconic.
