Rihanna's stylist says they shut down a tailor's suggestion to insert elastic into the singer's garments for her growing baby bump

• Rihanna's stylist, Jahleel Weaver, talked to Vogue about his approach to the star's maternity looks.
• Weaver said something she has been clear on is that she doesn't want to wear anything with elastic.
• When a tailor suggested adding that stretchy component, the duo shut down the idea. 

Rihanna is currently redefining maternity fashion, and she has some rules for herself along the way. One rule, according to her stylist Jahleel Weaver, is no elastic.

In an interview with Vogue published on Tuesday, Weaver said that in January (the same month Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky announced her pregnancy), a tailor had suggested inserting elastic into one of the Fenty founder's garments.

"She was like, 'No. I don't want elastic anything. Ever,'" Weaver told Vogue. 

He agreed, saying that elastic is "not very sexy, and it kind of dumbs everything down a notch."

Weaver added: "You want to not feel as if you're giving up quite yet, you know?" 

The stylist told Vogue that instead of using the forgiving fabric aid, the singer's looks are subject to "tons" of tailoring.  

He told the publication that dressing a pregnant Rihanna is the most fun he's ever had with her style. "I've never once looked at anything maternity," he said, going on to explain how their team has been able to alter looks and individual garments to work for her growing belly. 

"When I found out I was pregnant, I thought to myself, there's no way I'm going to go shopping in no maternity aisle," Rihanna told Vogue in an interview for the magazine's May cover story. "I'm sorry — it's too much fun to get dressed up. I'm not going to let that part disappear because my body is changing."

Rihanna also joked with Vogue reporter Chioma Nnadi that Weaver "loses sleep" over her constantly changing measurements.

"In fact," she added, "I'm sure he's going to ask for a raise after this!"
