Facts: pregnant women don’t have time for hecklers. Especially when we’ve put on heels and lipstick and shimmied into black-tie attire. And especially if you’re Rihanna. Someone who clearly does not understand these facts yelled “You’re late!” to the nine-time Grammy winner as she walked the red carpet at a Dior fashion show (headed to the front row, no less). Her response was a win for women—especially pregnant women—everywhere: “No sh*t.”
Rihanna-1, Heckler-0.
“ You’re late!” “… no shit.”

The singer, fashion mogul, and billionaire debuted her growing baby belly on the streets of NYC earlier this year, holding hands with her beau and dad-to-be A$AP Rocky. She is the richest female musician and second-richest female entertainer, behind only Oprah, and she’s adored by Rocky. In an interview with GQ in May, he told them “(their relationship is) So much better when you got ‘the One.” She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She’s the One.”
Clearly, the heckler did not realize this when she reminded Rihanna of the time.
1. I’d never tell Rihanna she’s late to anything.

2. I’d never tell a pregnant woman they’re late to anything.
3. I’d never tell pregnant Rihanna she’s late to anything.
Rihanna sat on the Dior front, as well as when the offerings from Virgil Abloh’s final collection were presented. This is important, well, because you have to be a really freaking big deal to get into the fashion show, in the first place. And then there’s a whole pecking order to where everyone sits. Rihanna sitting on the front row at these events?
Heckler should have checked herself.

Her outfit for the Dior Autumn Winter 2022 show at Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday also made waves, with its black lace overlay of lingerie, a leather cape and matching knee-high boots. But whether it grabbed headlines because it was revealing or because she was expecting her first child while wearing it, Rihanna—we suspect—could give two sh*ts.
Just in case any hecklers were wondering.
