How Celebrities are Redefining Maternity Wear

The concept of maternity fashion has definitely drastically evolved over the years – and for the better. For the longest time, being pregnant meant investing in a brand new wardrobe of leggings, stretchy waistlines, and large flowy dresses all in attempts to cover a growing baby bump. 

Today, celebrities of the likes of Emily Ratajkowski, Shay Mitchell and more recently Rihanna, are redefining the way we look at maternity fashion. By championing the challenge of dressing for a different shape, these women are giving maternity style a whole new meaning by flaunting and fully embracing the beauty of a baby bump.

Of course, this does not mean all mothers are expected to wear sexy and revealing clothes, but it is inspiring to see women maintain their incredible sense of individuality and style even though their bodies are changing in unimaginable ways. By wearing such empowering outfits, these celebrities are deliberately turning their backs to what society has been expecting of pregnancy looks and are wearing what makes them feel best, not just in comfort but in spirit.

It’s liberating to see how such famous names are changing the rules of the game – by defying the idea that baby bumps are to be covered and hidden. While everyone around you will always have their two cents to share, holding on to your sense of identity by maintaining your unique style is one of the most empowering ways to celebrate your body for creating life.

Below, a round-up list of celebrities that have mastered the art of maternity looks.
