How Celebrities are Redefining Maternity Wear
From Emily Ratajkowski to Shay Mitchell and Rihanna, these mothers are flaunting their pregnancies in a way that gives maternity fashion a whole new meaning.
The concept of maternity fashion has evolved drastically over the years. For the longest time, being pregnant meant investing in a brand new wardrobe of leggings, stretchy waistlines, and large flowy dresses in an attempt to cover a growing baby bump. For so long, concealing was the goal.
Today, celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski, Rihanna, and Blake Lively are redefining maternity fashion as a whole. By challenging the expectations of maternity fashion, these women are fully embracing and flaunting the beauty of their baby bumps, championing the celebration of pregnancy.
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 sense of individuality through the changing of their bodies. By wearing such empowering outfits, these celebrities are deliberately turning their backs on what society has been expecting of pregnancy and are wearing what makes them feel best in comfort and spirit alike.
It’s liberating to see such famous names change the rules of the game – 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 a unique style is one of the most empowering ways to celebrate your body, especially while creating life.
