A delighted Rihanna re-posted Vogue's video of the statue with the caption, \"shut down the met in marble! what’s more gilded than that? Lol! Thank you @metmuseum and @voguemagazine for this historic tribute! y’all bad for this one!\"

Rihanna and boyfriend A$AP Rocky are expecting their first child.

Speaking about her out-and-proud maternity looks, Rihanna told Vogue for its cover story, \"My body is doing incredible things right now, and I’m not going to be ashamed of that. This time should feel celebratory. Because why should you be hiding your pregnancy?”
