Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be Rihanna for a night? Well, lucky for you, the superstar just showed us.
Yesterday, Rihanna shared a night-in-the-life montage that documented her schedule from 9 p.m. onwards. “Commercial break,” she captioned the video.
After a quick paparazzi run-in, Rihanna—dressed casually in a blue pinstriped collared blouse, baggy faded jeans, and a gray jacket—attended an hours-long meeting for her lingerie and loungewear brand, Savage x Fenty. The meeting saw Rihanna approving designs and autographing album covers. At about 1:45 a.m., Rihanna revealed what was next on her agenda. “I still have to go to the studio after this,” she said. “And I have to make a Mardi Gras costume for my son after the studio. Longest day ever.”
By 2 a.m., Rihanna left the office to jump into the recording studio. This part of the montage was mostly muted—possibly indicating that whatever music she played in the studio will be part of her long-awaited ninth studio album? (In case you forgot, Rihanna last released an album—the critically-acclaimed Anti—10 years ago.)
The clips showed Rihanna adjusting a sound mixer, taking notes, and dancing. She also joked around with the engineers in the studio, telling them, “We should have a coffee some day. Let’s get to know each other. Yesterday’s price is not today’s price.”
By 6:45 a.m., Rihanna headed home—but sleep was still hours away. She immediately got to hot gluing sequins and feathers together to create a Mardi Gras-worthy costume for her youngest son, two-year-old Riot. Rihanna also shares three-year-old son RZA and baby girl Rocki with her longtime partner, A$AP Rocky.
At last, by 8:30 a.m., the costume-making was done. Rihanna, now changed into a pink Savage x Fenty loungewear set, showed off Riot in his costume, which included a black blazer with purple beaded shoulders and sparkly embellished jeans.
Rihanna previously opened up about juggling motherhood with her work responsibilities in an interview for Harper’s Bazaar’s March 2025 cover story.
“Every decision I make revolves around them, but everything that I do that I love robs me from them,” she said. “So I have a weird resentment with the things that I love. You almost feel like something is always suffering for you to show up somewhere. And even when you show up there, it’s not 100 percent because there’s something else on the wheel. It’s actually given me a lot more self-guilt. I don’t like letting people down, but I also know that most of that is me letting myself down, which means something has to change, but everything is on the wheel at all times. I have to keep reminding myself that I asked for this, I love this. I try to figure out a balance so that I can feel fulfilled when I show up to something, so I can feel I don’t have any guilt.”
