Is Rihanna trying to tell everyone something with her latest steamy lingerie shots?

Rihanna shared a new series of snaps that sent pulses racing donning a red bra and cheeky bottoms from Savage X Fenty’s Romantic Corded Lace collection. 

In the photos posted on Instagram and X, RiRi posed in a bra with scallop detail around the cups and a matching thong. The crimson lingerie set features stretch corded lace with the intricate pattern creating a delicate, barely-there finish. To keep the focus on the outfit, her accessories were minimal with golden hoops, a bracelet, and two simple necklaces.

The look echoes the scarlet lingerie she flaunted around Valentine’s Day, and just weeks ago when she modeled Savage X Fenty Piccadilly Lace Corset in Black Caviar with its matching thong. The look also fits with Rihanna’s style of incorporting tasteful lingerie into her wardrobe as a fashion statement. Like when she wore a black sheer Dior top and skirt to the Dior Spring/Summer 2026 Haute Couture Show in January.

In the comments section of the post, one user wrote, “Most beautiful woman!” while a second added, “Absolutely wonderful.”

While fans agreed that Rihanna looked sultry and stunning in the pics, there is a theory out there about the timing of the posts.

Some have since opined that these steamy shots, posted on Sept. 25, were shared intentionally to send a message to fans who have been speculating about Rihanna’s figure after she was spotted in Paris recently.

Days earlier, RiRi stepped out in the City of Lights after seeing Celine Dion’s concert for a second time rocking a Ferragamo dress. The gown, from the Italian label’s Autumn/Winter 2026 collection, featured a sheer top with ruffled, tiered sleeves and a high neckline designed by creative director Maximilian Davis. Rihanna sported a black bra underneath the transparent top, while the lower portion transitioned into a voluminous metallic pleated skirt.

Because of the dress’s shape, many fans theorized that the “We Found Love” hitmaker’s outfit choice was selected because she was trying to hide a baby bump. Several clips of Rihanna entering and exiting César restaurant that evening then went viral.

“Baby no 4 on the way,” one person posted, while a second said, “She’s preggers again.”

Another suspected that the placement of Rihanna’s clutch bag in front of her stomach in a separate clip was strategic, posting, “She definitely is hiding something with her purse.” A fourth agreed, claiming, “Looks like she’s hiding a belly.”

Therefore, some believe these lingerie snaps are RiRi’s way of shutting down the chatter that she’s expecting another little one.

Rihanna currently has three children–RZA, Riot, and Rocki–with her partner, A$AP Rocky. She debunked pregnancy rumors earlier this year after a social media personality posted a video claiming that the star was preggers. Rihanna replied herself in the comments section to set the record straight, writing, “Is the baby in the womb with us?” with a confused face emoji.
