The Diamonds singer who donned a head-to-toe bright red outfit for her performance was seen flaunting her baby bump in front of the audience. With this Rihanna also become the first pregnant woman to star in the halftime show. Ahead of her performance, the Grammy winner said she first thought twice about performing at the Super Bowl, but motherhood ultimately inspired her to perform at the big game.
"I was like, 'You sure? I'm three months postpartum. Should I be making major decisions like this right now? I might regret this,'" she said. Rihanna played up the big reveal in the opening moments of her performance, rubbing her stomach and leaving the zipper of her outfit -- a jumpsuit layered over a close-fitting bodysuit and sculpted bandeau -- down to reveal her belly.
