Rihanna finally gave the world an official glimpse of her 7-month-old daughter, Rocki Irish, but apparently, the superstar is feeling extra generous because she just dropped an even more intimate look at her baby girl.
Taking to social media, Rihanna posted a behind-the-scenes video of her recent “W” magazine cover shoot alongside her daughter, and to say it’s adorable is putting it mildly.
Rihanna clearly saw how much her fans loved finally seeing her daughter Rocki Irish, so she decided to give them even more of her gorgeous mini-me.
Posting to Instagram, the Fenty founder shared a behind-the-scenes video of the recent “W” magazine cover shoot that featured her and her baby girl draped in haute couture.
While a Rihanna fashion editorial is always a showstopper, the video footage reveals that baby Rocki is coming for her mother’s model crown.
Riri shared that sentiment by stating in the video, “The latest fashion killa just joined our set,” she said before jokingly adding, “She kind of outshined me. Last shoot we’ll ever do together.”
The mom of three spoke to her elsewhere in the video, saying, “Who is the high fashion baby? Who is in couture 24 hours after the runway?”
Rihanna And Rocki Made A Splash In Their Magazine Cover Debut
Covering the 2026 Pop Issue of the publication, “W” chose Rihanna and her baby girl Rocki Irish to serve mother-daughter goals and fashion inspo.
Riri and Rocki are dressed in matching Dior looks for the cover shoot, complete with a custom-made diaper and headpiece for Rihanna’s little one.
“The haute couture diaper is definitely a first for Dior,” admitted Dior creative director Jonathan Anderson. “When Rihanna asks for something, she is already ahead of what is happening. She is thinking outside the box. When she has an idea, I’m always trusting in the process. I trust her implicitly on anything she feels that is right to do.”
Taking to Instagram to share the cover, Rihanna gushed about her daughter already being a natural model.
“Cover girrrrrlz!!!” she captioned the post. “Baby Rocki served sumn serious on her first cover! came on set and shut her mama dowwwnn!!!!
Rihanna’s Music Peers Showered Her With Praise
As part of the “W” magazine cover story, several of Rihanna’s musical peers spoke very highly of her, including Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, and Pharrell Williams.
Williams summarized her in one simple sentence: “She’s a force,” he said.
While Blige shared her take on Rihanna being an innovator. “Rihanna completely raised the bar and elevated the game. She is a fashion icon. She was dropping smashes back-to-back and bringing more awareness to dancehall mixed with R&B,” she told the outlet.
Fellow superstar, Carey recalled first meeting Rihanna when she was just a teenager.
“I was introduced to Rihanna when she was about 17 years old, by our mutual friend Jay-Z,” she said. “She was just getting started, and I had a feeling she was going to be a major star. She’s a real girl’s girl. She brings such great energy!”
The Superstar Recently Shut Down Pregnancy Claims After Previously Hinting At Baby Number Four
Although she may add another baby to the mix in the future, Rihanna recently shut down speculation that she is currently pregnant.
The singer replied to an online report that she was expecting her fourth baby, writing, “Is the baby in the womb with us?”
However, the speculation initially started from Rihanna herself. Per Us Weekly, back in January, Rihanna gave a strong hint that she is not done adding to her family.
The singer-turned-mogul responded to a post by “Love Island” star Montana Rose that read: “Deciding whether to get hot and sexy or get pregnant in 2026.” Rihanna replied underneath the post, writing, “Wait! So I’m not crazy then? Bet!”
While many fans were happy at the possibility of Riri becoming a mom again for the fourth time, there were others who expressed their disappointment because another pregnancy means a new album is once again put on hold. Rihanna’s last album, the record-breaking “Anti,” celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.
Rihanna Left Los Angeles Following A Scary Targeted Shooting, Suspect Pled Not Guilty
A day after the shooting at her home, Rihanna was photographed traveling in a line of black SUVs to the private aviation terminal at Van Nuys Airport on March 10, per the Daily Mail.
According to PEOPLE, on March 25, during an appearance at Los Angeles Superior Court, Ivanna Ortiz pled not guilty to a host of charges connected to her allegedly shooting at Rihanna’s home on March 8 while the superstar and her three children were inside.
Among the charges against her, the most serious is attempted murder, as Ortiz is accused of brandishing an AR-15 rifle and firing off 10 rounds at Rihanna’s home.
In addition to attempted murder, Ortiz is facing 13 other felony counts, including 10 of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and three of shooting at an inhabited dwelling or camper.
After initially being held on $10 million bail, that amount was reduced to the current sum of $1.875 million. If convicted, Ortiz could receive a sentence of life in prison.
