Rihanna Shares Sweet Insight Into Holiday Traditions With A$AP Rocky and Their 2 Kids

Rihanna is putting in the work this holiday season.

Because when it comes to her and A$AP Rocky’s family, which includes sons RZA, 2, and Riot, 14 months, she wants to establish traditions that will lead to lifelong memories. And first up this spooky season is Halloween.

“I built up the nerve to do trick or treating at strangers’ houses,” she confessed to E! News’ Francesca Amiker during Savage X Fenty's exclusive Nordstrom preview celebrating the debut of the Lavish Lace collection Oct. 10. “I’m doing the whole thing. I’m actually going to learn to bake cookies, because I want to make ghost cookies. If I get through that, I’ll feel like I won for October.”

And on what she might dress up as, the 36-year-old is taking inspiration from her baking dreams.

“I want to be a cute little ghost,” Rihanna added of her costume. “I really want to do something. I think that's the easiest thing, I could literally make that costume.”

Plus, her new Lavish Lace collection has everything one needs to put together a killer—and sexy—Halloween costume.

“If you like to be that dark, all black, can go with anything,” she noted. "It can go with a little naughty look. It can go with a with a witch look. It's flexible. Go with black for Halloween.”

Her personal favorite item? “My unlined bra, for sure, is always like my go-to. It just fits my body.”

But as Halloween approaches—a night where people can dress up as creepy or sexy as they’d like—the “Diamonds” singer had some advice for embracing one’s sex appeal.

“It really starts from the inside,” Rihanna noted. “You've heard that a million times, and it's only because it's true. Really, it does not matter what you look like.”

She continued, “There is a presence that a woman can carry and hold when she walks into a room, being completely authentically who she is, not caring who's looking—that is my type of woman, and I want to encourage that as much as possible.”

Yet for the fashion, beauty and music mogul—whose business and creative endeavors take her all around the world—when she’s not walking a carpet or designing a new line, it’s often the small moments at home that mean the most.

“Motherhood, wifehood-ish, just being a homebody—I love it,” she admitted. “I love to be a homemaker. I just like to be exciting and celebrate things. I'm trying to build new traditions for our little family that we built.”

So after Halloween, “Next is Thanksgiving with my in laws, because that's not a thing in Barbados,” she explained. “And then Christmas is a very, very big thing for us. So we're going to do it out—all the things.”
