Maternity wear of the stars: tips on staying chic and sexy while pregnant

Maternity wear of the stars: tips on staying chic and sexy while pregnant

Finding it hard to stay fashionable while pregnant? Don't fret! Pregnancy need not mean the death of one's fashion sense. Here are super cute and chic maternity wear ideas from the stars. Get inspiration from these expecting showbiz moms, here.

As one’s hips expand, and breasts and buttocks begin to enlarge, fashion often flies out the window. Pregnancy isn’t the easiest time to be a stylish woman.

It may be true that gone are the days of maternity wear looking like they came out of a spinster’s closet; but still, finding pregnancy clothes that actually hug you in all the right places still presents itself to be a frustrating task.

Sure, some women are lucky enough to have that unmistakable pregnancy glow. But the rest of us still need the flattering, fashionable ensembles that do wonders in boosting the confidence of a hormonal and insecure pregnant lady.

In short, when it comes to feeling sexy and beautiful during pregnancy, we need all the help we can get.

Here are a few maternity wardrobe ideas inspired by women who know a thing or two about looking good. Check out the maternity style of these sexy showbiz prego mommas:

Show off the bump (de-emphasize the rest)!

Stressed about what to wear to a formal occasion? Get inspiration from the sexy number Toni Gonzaga wore in this photo.

Toni’s baby bump takes center stage as the rest of what’s potentially less flattering (for most of us that would be the arms and hips) gets thrown into shadow. Toni G knows her body well and is quick to show off her shoulders and long legs.

Chynna Ortaleza likewise stuns in this white dress, with her bump on full display.

Motherhood: All love ends and begins here. Today is a special day for all the beautiful Mothers out there. I am blessed to be celebrating my first Mother’s day with my ever supportive and loving husband and family. These past months I was gifted with a role of a lifetime and I have been savoring every single day, recording each moment, making sure that everything is ingrained in memory. Preparing for my baby’s arrival was such a rewarding experience. I am grateful to all fellow Mom’s who helped me along the way. Recently our family was rewarded with a beautiful gift of posterity. We only have one chance to secure our baby’s cord blood & umbilical cord lining. And if you ask me there is only one choice when it comes to entrusting these life saving stem cells. Thank you @cordlifephilippines for helping me make a “life” decision for our baby. For soon to be moms & dads you can read about cord blood & umbilical cord lining banking at www.cordlife.ph or you can also comment below and we will try to answer your questions. #cordlife #cordlifephilippines #cordlifemoms Happy Mother’s Day Beautiful! ✨ Photography: @thenthjow #teamjaja Make Up: @dinolazaro Hair: @markbaquiran Styling: @john_paul_dizon Assisted by: @guiller_alapan

Make the empire cut your go-to

The cut right below the bust emphasizes both your swelling bosom and belly – in a good way.

Oh baby bump ❤️ #ToniGonzaga
