Only 17 Guests Allowed at Rihanna’s Gender Reveal Party – And the Colors Didn’t Match Any Gender Stereotypes 🌈🤔
In true Rihanna fashion, the global superstar and Fenty mogul threw a gender reveal party for her third child with A$AP Rocky that was as exclusive as it was unconventional. Held on June 20, 2025, at a private villa in Los Angeles, the event was limited to just 17 carefully selected guests, including close friends like Beyoncé, Zendaya, and Ciara. But what has fans buzzing isn’t just the elite guest list—it’s the fact that the party’s color scheme, a vibrant mix of neon green, purple, and gold, defied traditional pink-and-blue gender stereotypes, leaving everyone guessing about the baby’s gender (or genders, with twins rumors still swirling). Here’s the full scoop on Rihanna’s latest headline-making moment.
An Exclusive Affair with a Rihanna Twist
Rihanna, who announced her third pregnancy at the 2025 Met Gala and sparked twins speculation at her baby shower, kept her gender reveal intimate and intentional. The guest list, capped at 17, was a who’s who of Rihanna’s inner circle. Beyoncé, fresh off gifting Rihanna a $75,000 diamond baby bracelet, was spotted arriving with Jay-Z, while Zendaya, still reeling from Rihanna’s twins whisper, brought her signature cool-girl vibe. Ciara and Russell Wilson added family-oriented warmth, and A$AP Rocky’s mother, Renee Black, was also present, underscoring the event’s personal significance. Sources say Rihanna handpicked each guest to ensure a “vibe of love and trust,” with no media or paparazzi allowed.
The party, held at a sprawling villa overlooking the Pacific Ocean, was a visual spectacle. Instead of the expected pink or blue, Rihanna opted for a bold palette of neon green, purple, and gold, with decorations including iridescent balloons, a cascading floral installation, and custom Fenty Beauty-inspired centerpieces. Guests were treated to a menu of Bajan-inspired dishes, like cou-cou and flying fish, alongside vegan options curated by Rihanna herself. A live steel drum band provided the soundtrack, blending Caribbean rhythms with A$AP Rocky’s curated hip-hop playlist. “It was Rihanna’s vision through and through,” a source told Vogue. “She wanted something that felt like her—vibrant, unexpected, and free of stereotypes.”
Breaking Gender Norms with Color
The absence of traditional pink and blue decor has sparked endless speculation about the baby’s gender—or whether Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are intentionally keeping it ambiguous. Fans on X have been quick to praise the couple for challenging gender norms, with one user posting, “Rihanna using neon green, purple, and gold for her gender reveal is ICONIC. She’s saying forget the binary, my baby’s gonna shine! 🌈 #RihannaTwins.” Another wrote, “No pink, no blue, just Rihanna vibes. This is how you do a gender reveal in 2025! 🤯.”
Some fans theorize that the color scheme could hint at twins of different genders, tying into the rumor sparked by Rihanna’s whisper to Zendaya at her baby shower. “Green and purple for twins—one boy, one girl? Rihanna’s keeping us guessing,” one X user speculated. Others believe the colors reflect Rihanna’s rejection of societal expectations, aligning with her history of breaking barriers in music, fashion, and beauty. The gold accents, in particular, have been interpreted as a nod to the “Diamonds” singer’s radiant energy and her Barbadian heritage, where vibrant hues are a cultural staple.
The Gender Reveal Moment
The centerpiece of the party was the gender reveal itself, which, true to Rihanna’s style, was anything but conventional. Instead of a balloon pop or cake cutting, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky unveiled a massive abstract sculpture that, when activated, released a cascade of glitter in neon green, purple, and gold. Guests reportedly gasped and cheered, but the lack of traditional gender cues left everyone puzzled. “No one knew what to make of it,” a source told People. “Rihanna and Rocky were laughing, like they knew something we didn’t.” Zendaya was seen whispering to Beyoncé, fueling speculation that the twins rumor might be true, while Ciara posted an Instagram Story with the caption, “Only Ri could pull this off. 💜💚.”
The sculpture, designed by contemporary artist Kehinde Wiley, was later revealed to be a gift for the baby’s nursery, adding another layer of meaning to the reveal. Fans on X have been dissecting the moment, with one writing, “Rihanna’s gender reveal was a whole art installation! No pink or blue, just glitter and vibes. She’s rewriting the rules. #FentyBaby.” Another joked, “Rihanna’s baby is gonna be born with a Grammy and a gender reveal sculpture by Kehinde Wiley. We’re not ready! 😭.”
Rihanna’s Pregnancy Journey Keeps Evolving
Rihanna’s third pregnancy has been a masterclass in keeping fans on their toes. From her Met Gala announcement in a custom Marc Jacobs gown to her baby shower whisper about twins and the transatlantic journey of her Parisian OB-GYN for a Bajan naming ceremony, every moment has been iconic. The gender reveal party is no exception, with its exclusive guest list and non-traditional colors cementing Rihanna’s status as a cultural trailblazer. Her maternity style continues to dazzle, with recent sightings in a neon green Balenciaga jumpsuit and a purple Fenty x Puma tracksuit echoing the party’s color scheme.
The twins rumor, sparked by Rihanna’s whisper to Zendaya and amplified by Ciara’s comments about “quatro,” remains unconfirmed, but the gender reveal’s ambiguity has only fueled speculation. The vowel-less name teased by A$AP Rocky at the Met Gala—potentially tied to the “Harmony in Love” bracelet from Beyoncé or the “Forever Our Rhythm” crib—adds another layer of intrigue. “If Rihanna’s having twins, are we getting two vowel-less names?” one X user asked. “My brain can’t keep up with this woman!”
A Star-Studded Circle of Support
The 17 guests at the gender reveal were a testament to Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s tight-knit circle. Beyoncé, who gifted the $75,000 diamond bracelet, was reportedly “beaming” throughout the event, while Zendaya’s presence reinforced her role as one of Rihanna’s closest confidantes. Ciara, who has bonded with Rihanna over motherhood, shared a heartfelt moment with her, captured in a candid photo that went viral on X. A$AP Rocky’s mother, Renee, was seen embracing Rihanna, highlighting the family-oriented vibe of the event. Other rumored attendees included Fenty Beauty execs and A$AP Rocky’s creative collaborators, though the couple kept the full list under wraps.
Fans have been quick to celebrate the exclusivity of the event, with one X post reading, “Only 17 guests at Rihanna’s gender reveal? That’s how you know it’s real love and loyalty in that room. #FentyFamily.” Another wrote, “Beyoncé, Zendaya, and Ciara at Rihanna’s gender reveal? That’s a flex I didn’t know I needed. 😍.”
What’s Next for the Fenty Family?
As Rihanna’s due date approaches—estimated for November 2025 based on her pregnancy timeline—the gender reveal has left fans with more questions than answers. Are the neon green, purple, and gold colors a hint at twins, a rejection of gender norms, or simply Rihanna’s love for bold aesthetics? Will the vowel-less name(s) tie into the party’s theme? And could the twins rumor, now a persistent thread in Rihanna’s pregnancy narrative, finally be confirmed?
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, parents to RZA, three, and Riot Rose, 21 months, have kept their cards close to their chest, with Rihanna teasing in a recent Elle interview, “The reveal is for us first, the world second.” A$AP Rocky, meanwhile, told Variety at Cannes, “Our family is our art, and this baby—or whatever’s coming—is the next masterpiece.” The couple’s ability to blend luxury, culture, and mystery has kept the world captivated, from the $50,000 custom crib to the Bajan naming ceremony with Dr. Neiman.
Fans Are Obsessed on X
The gender reveal’s unconventional colors and exclusive vibe have taken over X, where fans are sharing theories, memes, and admiration. “Rihanna’s gender reveal with no pink or blue is giving ‘my baby’s too cool for stereotypes,’” one user posted. “Neon green and purple? I’m in love! 🌈.” Another wrote, “Rihanna and A$AP Rocky threw a gender reveal with 17 guests and a Kehinde Wiley sculpture. They’re operating on a different level. #RihannaTwins.” The twins speculation continues to dominate, with one fan joking, “If Rihanna’s having twins, those babies are coming out with Fenty contracts and a Grammy nomination.”
As Rihanna and A$AP Rocky prepare for their next chapter, the gender reveal party has solidified their status as a power couple who defy expectations at every turn. Whether they’re welcoming one baby or two, the Fenty family’s journey is a masterclass in love, creativity, and cultural pride. Congratulations to Rihanna and A$AP Rocky—and here’s to the vibrant, stereotype-shattering future of their newest addition(s)!
