Maternity Clothing Wardrobes Of Expectant Celebrity Mothers

Hollywood has witnessed a baby boom in the recent years. These days, tabloids abound in ‘X is expecting a baby’ headlines, paparazzi follow pregnant celebs 24/7 to take a shot of their life, journalists negotiate details of exclusive interviews with celebrity reps, millions of Internet users browse through pictures of superstars spotted on the beach where they can no longer disguise the gradually growing belly or at the entrance of a baby shop. Hence, those celebrities, who usually boast the reputation of fashionistas, often have to think what to wear during pregnancy to display an impeccable look anytime anywhere while remaining loyal to their personal style and avoiding big fashion failures.

Maternity clothing may be a great concern for those who wish to feel comfortable and confident without changing their preferences in style. For casual wear most celebs choose comfortable flexible clothes allowing enough freedom of movement. Jersey and A-line dresses, tunics paired with leggings, simple tank tops paired with classic jeans and other items that a regular mum-to-be would wear usually make up a celebrity maternity clothing wardrobe. Superstars are often spotted wearing comfortable footwear, including flip-flops, ballet flats, sandals, low-heel boots, etc. Yet, now and then some expectant celebrity mothers can be pictured wearing high heels, wedges and tight-fitting jeans.

Commonly, for physical activities superstars choose comfortable maternity tops, shorts, leggings and hoodies suitable for yoga and Pilates classes, jogging and running. Some celebs, pregnant or not, are known to exercise regularly, and thus are fully aware of the benefits of comfortable flexible sport clothes.

The beach is perhaps the most favourite place of Hollywood stars where no maternity clothing is worn, but swimwear. A lot of expectant celebrity mums are very often pictured wearing two-pieces swimming suits or bikinis emphasising the gorgeous curves. The beach, in fact, is one of the most popular photo shoot venues for paparazzi. Pictures taken on the beach are considered the strongest evidence of the striking news about changes of one’s body shapes, related or unrelated to pregnancy.

When it comes to selecting maternity clothing for the most prestigious showbiz awards ceremonies of the year, be it the Grammy Awards or the Oscar, celebrity mums-to-be are unlikely to make comfort their priority. They are often seen wearing super high heels, tight-fitting clothes to accentuate the baby bump, and low neck dresses.

Academy Awards winner Cate Blanchet was once spotted wearing ultra-high stilettos and a strapless ankle-length dark blue dress at one of the biggest red carpet events, while in her 9th month. For a pre-Oscars event actress Angelina Jolie, pregnant with twins, took out a tight-fitting black dress accentuating her curves from her maternity clothing wardrobe.

Nowadays, there are a number of maternity clothing designers who create stylish comfortable clothes for celebrity and non-celebrity mums. There are also catwalk shows featuring maternity clothing for casual, business and special occasion wear. Some celebrity mums, such as Nicole Richie, have launched their own maternity clothing lines to help expectant mothers find the answer to the commonly asked question ‘What to wear?’.
