what can future moms learn from this year’s pregnant celebrity style choices?
When it comes to maternity clothes, fashion has come a long way since those tent dresses our mothers wore. Women not only want to hold on to their personal style, but are even open to experimenting with their new shape. Some who have typically shied away from body con dresses or midriff-baring outfits, may suddenly want to flaunt the bump. Others just want to be comfy – and really, who could blame them! As maternity wear designer, Doone Murphy of Doone London said, “What you wear can have a huge impact on how you feel and after your body has and is continuing to change throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding, it’s so important to feel your best in a good quality piece of clothing.”
If you’re looking for some more inspiration beyond the typical maternity fare of leggings and tunics, we’ve got you covered. We rounded up some of the best maternity looks from celebs who were recently or are currently pregnant to inspire your next trimester’s sartorial choices. From the girl next-door style of Blake Lively and Claire Danes to the sultry looks of Chrissy Teigen and Rihanna, here are some fun ways to dress your bump.
10 best luxury maternity outfits inspired by pregnant celebrity styles
1. Blake Lively
The actress and co-chair of 2022’s Met Gala recently debuted her baby bump #4. While she always hits the mark on the red carpet in sparkles and shine, we were curious about her pregnancy street style.
Turns out, it’s totally accessible and approachable. We love how she took an oversized colorful cardigan and turned it into a statement with over the knee boots. It’s an easy way to look stylish and put-together while still being comfortable. And that oversized cardigan could come in handy in the 4th trimester when you’re carrying the baby in a carrier or nursing! This one from Farm Rio ($210) has a soft, fluid shape emphasized by bell sleeves and a versatile belt that can be easily styled with a body con dress or jeans.

Her all black tunic sweater and legging ensemble is a great uniform for all pregnant women to have but to make it more fashion-forward, take a page out of Blake’s playbook and go for an edgy leather look. Spanx’s version ($110) is known for its Mama Magic® waistband that allows you to wear it from month one to baby and beyond. Plus, the structured fabric of the waistband comfortably supports your bump.

2. Chrissy Teigen
Congrats to the model and entrepreneur on the birth of her daughter, Esti! Chrissy had so many glamorous goddess-like maternity looks that really celebrated the miracle of pregnancy.
Her cut-out rib knit dress in chartreuse proves pregnancy mamas can still be fun and sultry. We found this stretchy and ruched mini dress from HARBISON ($1,395) that would really flaunt the bump with that same energy for proud mamas to wear for special occasions.

But Chrissy’s down-to-earth personality is one of the reasons she’s so beloved. Her selfie in a pair of cargo overalls are such a cute and comfy look for lounging around and taking it easy. This relaxed jumpsuit from Ripe, ($108) a brand founded by two moms, can be worn through all stages from pregnancy. We love it styled with trainers for a casual day or heels for a night out.

3. Rihanna
No one debuted her bump with more swagger than Rihanna. She was fond of two pieces that let it get all the attention it deserved. As she told Vogue, “I’m hoping that we were able to redefine what’s considered ‘decent’ for pregnant women. My body is doing incredible things right now, and I’m not going to be ashamed of that. This time should feel celebratory.”
Stretchy rib knits should be in every pregnant woman’s rotation. The figure-hugging fabric looks chic and is also surprisingly supportive. We love this Calle Del Mar’s midi skirt ($550) that falls to a flowy hem. Wear it as a set with the coordinating bralette in true Rihanna style.

If you’re going for bump-baring style, perhaps some accessorizing is in order. Rihanna’s belly chain is a gorgeous touch that is both sexy and elevated at the same time. Jacquie Aiche’s triple row marquise diamond drip belly chain ($8,750) would make a stunning push present, just saying!
