Rihanna savage x fenty maternity collection

Despite stepping down as CEO of her beloved lingerie brand, Rihanna just made out jaws drop with new Savage X Fentymaternity collection. As if she doesn't have her hands full stirring up marriage rumors with longtime beau A$AP Rocky, Rihanna seems to effortlessly embody what it means to be a busy mom. We're sure she has her challenges, but she's doing motherhood justice.

Instead of succumbing to the world of mom shamers, she's redefined maternity style and has zero issues taking care of business while pregnant. A part of that business includes championing inclusion for underrepresented communities in media; hence the new Savage X Fenty Maternity collection.


Where did Savage X Fenty's maternity campaign photos appear?

Savage X Fenty posted the mini-carousel of campaign photos to the brand's Instagram account yesterday. It goes without saying, but seeing Rihanna unabashedly breastfeeding her son Rza feels affirming for those who choose to do so.

What's featured in the Savage X Fenty maternity collection?

Based on popular silhouettes, customers can find the Savage X Cotton Maternity Bralette ($45), the Floral Lace Maternity Bralette($50), and Savage Not Sorry Maternity Bralette($50). They're made of jersey fabric and are designed to be soft so moms who have sensitive, dry, or cracked nipples feel comfortable wearing them. Also, with the option to unhook a latch during nursing sessions, moms won't have to worry about fumbling with a difficult design.

Additionally, the collection features an oversized graphic t-shirt with "Make More Babies" across the front.

What are the sizes?

Like other designs on Savage X Fenty's site, the maternity collection ranges from XXS to 4X.

Why did Rihanna decide to focus on maternity wear for Savage X Fenty?

She told Vogue, "The new maternity capsule is about bringing that confidence and comfort to moms at every stage of their journeys." She went on to say she wants people to know parents can absolutely "channel sexiness and feel good."

Who designed the collection?

Our resident bad gal Rihanna designed Savage X Fenty's maternity collection! You can buy it on the site now. Happy shopping!

It's inspiring to see mothers being represented in media beyond the usual pop culture tropes. Hopefully Savage X Fenty plans to expand its maternity line to include more styles!

My confidence was at an all-time high in my late 20s. I had a great circle of friends, a busy social life, a long-term boyfriend, and a career that was looking up. But then I moved to NYC when I turned 30 and had to rebuild my core group. It was hard starting a new-ish life and my confidence took a hit.

I look back at that time and want to tell her to relax and focus on the positive — and there were A LOT of positives. But sometimes just one negative can make us see everything through a cloudier lens.

It wasn’t until my later 30s that I regained that confidence and started to see my life turn in a positive new direction: a publisher accepted my book proposal, I was traveling on an Eat, Pray, Love-style trip, and I was looking and feeling my best. After all, confidence is sexy, right? It also has a way of multiplying the good in life.

Here are some reminders of how to find your confidence, even when things seem to be falling apart.

Celebrate Your Strengths

Mwabonje Ringa

What do you love most about yourself, for real? How do you stand out from your peers? Celebrate all the things that make you YOU. Take time to celebrate your achievements, no matter how small, and be patient with the areas that might need improvement. Accepting yourself as you are is the first step to building genuine confidence.

Live Passionately

Antoni Shkraba

One of my favorite authors, Isabel Allende has a great Ted Talk about living passionately at any age. Be curious, say yes to worthy experiences, and seek out the things that bring you joy, such as a hobby or a cause you care about. Helping others can enhance your sense of purpose and confidence.

Count Yourself In

ThisIsEngineering

Sports exec Emily Jaenson talks about counting yourself in – when you're afraid to address a difficult situation, confront someone, or need to present at work with confidence. She likes to countdown before she goes "live," so pause, take a deep breath, and count 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 before you start anything hard. This can help calm your nerves and help you perform better.

Remind Yourself That Hard Times Do Pass

Laker

When I was going through a hard time, my friend sent me Pema Chödrön’s When Things Fall Apart. It sounds sort of ominous, but it’s the complete opposite. What I gained is that when things do seem to fall apart they always eventually rise, and I sort of find comfort in that now. This too shall pass, right? It’s about finding the happiness within all of us no matter how hard things are, and embracing failure or suffering — fearlessly, compassionately, and with curiosity.

Set Achievable Self Care Goals

Sam Lion

If one area of your life isn’t going well – say, relationships or career – focus on the things you can control. Prioritize self-care routines that make you feel nurtured and valued. Start a fitness routine or join a team sport to improve your physical health and boost your mood and energy levels, which contribute to overall confidence. Establish achievable goals, breaking down larger ones into smaller ones, based on your strengths and interests. Start with a vision board!

Overcome Negative Self Talk

Ketut Subiyanto

I love the Eleanor Roosevelt quote, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” (Yes, that's who Joe quoted in The Princess Diaries) Challenge and reframe your negative thoughts. Focus on your achievements and positive experiences, and replace the negative thoughts with affirmations and constructive self-talk. Be honest with yourself and remind yourself of all the good you've accomplished!

Be Happy For Others

Elina Fairytale

Your time to shine might not be right now, but appreciate that good things happening to those around you. You’ll appreciate it more when the good stuff happens to you, and have a group of cheerleaders by your side.

Connect With Your Favorite People

ELEVATE

Nothing like a girl date to lift our spirits. Hang with the people you care about most, and who lift you up when you're feeling down. Don't be afraid to be vulnerable and let them know the good, the bad, and the sometimes ugly. If you can't meet in person, schedule some time to talk on the phone to connect and catch-up.

Meditate Or Find Ways To Manage Stress

Anna Tarazevich

A morning meditation practice or other relaxation techniques can help you refocus, manage stress, and improve your overall mood and well-being. Here's what happened when I meditated for just 11 minutes a day for one month. Spoiler: I really loved it!

Break Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Isabell De La Cruz

Stepping out of your comfort zone can help build your confidence in so many ways. Travel, adventure, even taking a class can help you see new perspectives, build resilience, and realize how awesome and strong and capable you are. Afraid of failure? Trying new things is already bringing you closer to success. Failure is a way of learning, not a setback. Shift your thinking around failure and embrace it, learn from it, and gain from it. You've got this!

Gisele Bündchen is a household name, no matter who her partner is — but it's no secret the supermodel made waves when she split from her football star husband, Tom Brady, in 2022. It's clear she's not holding on to the past, though. After dating Joaquim Valente for the past two years, the couple is officially expecting their first child together! Here's everything we know about Gisele's growing family!

Is Gisele Bündchen pregnant?

Yes! According to PEOPLE, an inside source told the outlet that the 44-year-old supermodel is officially expecting her third child. This is her first baby with current boyfriend, Joaquim Valente. The source said, "Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they're looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family."

Recently, a source told PEOPLE that Gisele's “excited to embrace this new chapter openly," and she's “received many positive messages and congratulations" since the news broke. While the source also noted that Gisele "wanted to keep the news private for as long as possible," they also explained that she "feels good" right now. According to them, she seems focused on her health by doing pilates and other exercises, meditating, and eating well! We're glad to hear Gisele's taking care of herself — and her baby — first!

Who is Gisele Bündchen's boyfriend?

Instagram/gisele

Joaquim Valente is a jiu-jitsu professional at his family-owned studio, Valente Brothers. The 34-year-old continues a decades-long tradition of teaching this martial art to future generations — and his girlfriend!

These two have been linked together since 2022, but didn't start officially dating until June 2023 according to PEOPLE. In 2024, a source also told PEOPLE that this wasn't "a serious love affair," but the tides have clearly turned since then.

In March 2024, Gisele The New York Times, “This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first." She then noted, “It’s very different. It is very honest, and it’s very transparent.” She also was quick to deny that there was any overlap with her ex-husband, stressing that these types of rumors happen "to a lot of women" who "have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship."

As for the most current state of Gisele and Joaquim's relationship? A source told Page Six, “Their chemistry together has always been there and they have a lot in common. They've been in love for a while." That being said, sources also told Page Sixthat they don't think the pair will get married "anytime soon." Despite Gisele being "thrilled" to welcome another child, her friends tell the outlet that the couple will just "live together for now."

Regardless, we're also thrilled for these two, and we hope their new child brings them so much joy!

How many kids does Gisele Bündchen have?

Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady have two children together — Bejamin Rein (14) and Vivian Lake (11). According to Page Six, a source says that these two "really like" Joaquim Valente, as he's been living with them in Miami "for a while." We just know these two will be fabulous siblings to the new little one, given the way they show so much love to their parents!

When did Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady get divorced?

Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady officially divorced in 2022. However, according to Page Six, this all started back in 2020 when Tom wouldn't retire from the NFL — and according to a source from PEOPLE, their problems date back as long as 10 years! Regardless, it's clear Gisele's moved on to a new chapter in her life. Good for her!

Has Tom Brady said anything about Gisele Bündchen's new pregnancy?

Instagram/tombrady

While sources told TMZthat Gisele Bündchen told Tom Brady about her pregnancy before the news broke to the general public, other sources told Page Sixthat he only just found out "very recently" — and apparently, he didn't find out from Gisele. Sources explained to Page Six that the ex-spouses "talk when they have to." So I guess this situation didn't exactly qualify as having to talk...

Still, a source close to the situation explained to Page Six that Tom was "stunned" to find out about the news. “Tom knew that things were serious between Gisele and Joaquin but he never imagined they would be having a child together,” they said. "“It just wasn’t something that was on his radar. So when Gisele broke the news to him he was stunned, to say the least.”

Tom hasn't made an official statement about Gisele's pregnancy, but he did take to Instagram on October 28. The former football star posted an image of the sunset, three hearts, and The Chicks' cover of "Landslide." The Stevie Nicks original is all about the changes life brings, so Tom's seemingly alluding to the changes coming in his own life.

And that same Page Sixsource noted that Tom's “grown used to the idea and he’s happy for Gisele.” They said, “At the end of the day, Tom’s sole focus is on his children and his career. What Gisele decides to do with her own life is really none of his business.”

On November 12, 2024, Tom Brady spoke at the 2024 Fortune Global Forum — and while he didn't mention his ex-wife's current pregnancy, he did open up about what it's like to be his child, per TMZ. He said, All of the parents of the room know that being a parent is probably the hardest job all of us have, and we screw up a lot — and I've screwed up a lot as a parent." Despite that, Tom explained that he wants to be "dependable and consistent" for his kids, and let them explore the hobbies that excite them most — the same way his parents did. Still, Tom notes that it "sucks" when it comes to being his son in "so many ways," explaining that his kids "naturally are gonna be faced with their own challenges."

Whatever happens next, we hope that this modern family navigates this new chapter with grace and love!

POV: You have on the cutest outfit for date night and you step into the restaurant, only to feel the slight tingly pain in your feet that you know will only get worse as the night goes on. It's truly the worst feeling; knowing that you've worn your most adorable heels for approximately 5 minutes and the pain will just progressively get worse until you're limping back to your car at the end of the night. But I'm here to tell you: the perfect comfortable heel does exist, and we have a list of them for you!

It really is possible for heels to be cute, on trend, and comfortable! You just need the right arch support, heel height, and material. So without further ado, we have the list of shoes that are so comfortable you can wear them all day. They'll have people thinking you're Carrie Bradshaw in no time!

Schutz Kate Heel

First things first when it comes to comfortable heels: you're going to want to make sure you're looking at heel height and width. The thicker the heel, the more comfortable it will be because it offer more support. This pair from Schutz is great because combine the thicker heel and a more cushioned arch. I own multiple pairs of heels from Schutz, and they're all extremely comfortable!

Dolce Vita Baylor Kitten Heels

If you like the look of a daintier heel, then I'd recommend a kitten heel. If the heel is shorter then it is sure to be more comfortable! I own these from Dolce Vita in nude as well, and they're a serious staple that goes with everything! I also thought they were extremely comfortable considering I went to dinner, and walking around town after.

Maeve Bow Kitten Heels

Super cute meets super comfortable! These are a vintage-inspired pair of kitten heels that will get you so many compliments for how fun they are. And what better way to respond than, "And they're SO comfortable too!!!" Mission accomplished.

Larroude Flora Heels

Larroude is another brand that I adore! Fun fact: I wore these exact heels to a wedding for 8 hours — I repeat: 8 hours! — and they didn't leave any blisters or uncomfortable pain by the end of the night. It also helps that they're extremely cute and can go with any outfit! I genuinely can vouch that these are worth the price!

Maeve Heeled Pump Pink

I'm obsessed with these French-inspired pumps, and personally have them in multiple colors! It's looking like I might need to add this pink to my cart as well, though! The short heel is ideal for long days where you need to dress up a bit!

Naturalizer Black Heels

If you're looking for serious relief on your feet, look no further than to Naturalizer. They specialize in creating cute shoes that are specifically made for comfort. They offer a cushioned footbed with Contour+ technology that keeps your feet cushioned and comfortable all night!

Bibi Lou Gingham Heels

These scream Wizard of Oz to me in the absolute best way! These kitten heels are ideal for flouncy spring days, like darting off to brunch or wandering around the city with your BFFs. Style these with a more simple outfit for a hint of personality!

Dolce Vita Mezzo Pearl Heels

Ummm comfortable, short heels with pearls on them?! Say no more! I'm adding these to my cart immediately for any and all summer outfits! Because while comfort is key, so is having fun with your shoe choice!

Sam Edelman Kia Strappy Metallic Heels

Remember what I said about thicker heels being more wearable? Well, not only are they more comfy, but you can also get them in fresh, fun colors like this pair from Sam Edelman! That way you can wear them all night without worrying about blisters, and they look so good in this metallic silver!

BCBG Kittie Slingback

Once again, we have a kitten heel, because they really are the ultimate key to comfort! Almost all of my heels are kitten heels now because they're so much more comfortable and add their own little flair to each outfit!

Naturalizer Brenta Sandals

We're ending with probably the most comfortable pair of heels you could own! The offer a cushioned footbed for maximum support that will last you all day! Plus, they're a great basic to go with any outfit and give you some extra height.
