Rihanna has been serving looks lately—from a Resort 2025 Bottega Veneta waistcoat at Giorgio Baldi to a sculptural Rick Owens gown at her Fenty Beauty launch in Paris. Her latest paparazzi snap? A comfy grey Miu Miu tracksuit while shopping at LA’s upscale Bristol Farms.
But fans were less focused on the fit and more on the bump watch: “Is she pregnant again, or is it just me?” Cue the classic speculation. But what if Rihanna’s big reveal wasn’t a baby, but a bag?
Tucked casually under her arm was the ultra-rare Takashi Murakami for Louis Vuitton Speedy 30—a rainbow-monogrammed masterpiece originally released in 2003 and recently revived for 2025. She carried it like any everyday tote while grabbing groceries and letting her assistant handle the heavy lifting.

It’s not unusual for Rihanna, who practically owns a slice of the Louis Vuitton archive—think the 2003 Dalmatian-print Sac, a 2001 Stephen Sprouse Pochette, and even that iconic football purse from 1998.
Murakami, reflecting on the original design, told Vogue: “I didn’t know much about fashion—I just wanted to bring children into the Louis Vuitton world.” Well, those “children” are now grown-ups, desperately hunting for vintage gems online. And they’re not cheap—prices jumped 60% on Vestiaire Collective after the re-edition news broke, and eBay searches skyrocketed by 290%.
All that hype—for a handbag and maybe a baby.
