Rihanna doesn’t often pull back the curtain on her personal life, but on International Women’s Day, she gave fans a rare, heartfelt peek.
The superstar shared new photos from the days she welcomed her two sons with A$AP Rocky—Riot Rose, now 1, and RZA, 2—and the internet lost its mind in the best way.
“By far the most powerful thing I’ve ever done as a woman…my little miracles! #InternationalWomensDay,” she captioned the post.
Then, with that classic Rihanna flair, she added, “And yes I gave birth in pearls and sunglasses…don’t ask, a lot was happening.” Leave it to the original bad gal to turn a delivery room into a fashion moment.
The Barbadian mogul has been killing it in the beauty game, with her Fenty empire now gracing shelves at Ulta and Sephora worldwide.

But after two decades as a global pop icon, her rockstar life has softened into something quieter, richer. In a February Harper’s Bazaar feature, Rihanna got real about finding peace and purpose. “Clarity’s a journey,” she said.
“You hit a point where you’re either fed up with yourself, rocked by something huge, or finally get why you’ve been hurting. When that clicks, a new chapter starts—one you won’t fully grasp because you’re different now. Growth hurts. It’s messy. And right when you’re close to something good, life throws a curveball to see if you’ll hold on.”
She also spilled some adorable tea about her boys’ personalities. “RZA’s this little empath—so magical,” she gushed.
“He’s all about music, melodies, books, and water. Bath time, the pool, the beach—he’s in heaven.” Then there’s Riot: “He’s a riot, literally. Wakes up squealing, screaming—not crying, just singing his heart out. He’s my morning wake-up call, and he’s not here for anyone’s ‘no.’ I have no idea where this kid came from!”
