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:

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.
