Dressed in a custom Maison Margiela outfit showing her bare baby bump, Rihanna sang alongside a chorus and orchestra during Sunday’s ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Rihanna received her first Oscar nomination for “Lift Me Up,” which lost to “Naatu Naatu” from “RRR” in the best original song category.

She co-wrote and recorded the song as a tribute to Chadwick Boseman, who starred in 2018′s original “Black Panther” before his death from colon cancer two years later. The original song nomination was one of five for “Wakanda Forever,” which won best costume design.

The 35-year-old Rihanna revealed her second pregnancy last month during her Super Bowl halftime show performance. She welcomed a son nine months ago with her partner, Harlem-born rapper A$AP Rocky.
