FASHION RUNDOWN: MATERNITY STYLE

Friday, February 1, 2008

maternitystyle-a.jpg

With Hollywood’s baby trend going by, its only necessary to look at some of the fashions worn by these hot Mom-To-Bes (or in some of their cases, Mothers already!).

These ladies showed that not only can pregnancy be beautiful but, it can also be stylish…

hallema.jpg

Probably my favorite maternity Mom, Halle Berry shows that pregnancy can definitely be sexy. Her blue Versace dress knocked people’s socks off, and she was showed that you can still wear skinny jeans with a baby belly…

jenniferma.jpg

Jennifer Lopez tried to hide her belly, and she fooled some for a minute. But, soon her glow was too much to hide! Jennifer definitely isn’t afraid to show off her great legs and last did so at her baby shower in a trendy H&M jacket…

nicolema.jpg

Nicole Richie, who delivered her daughter Harlow earlier this month, was the hip and alternative maternity mother. Leggings being her favorite maternity wear, she rocked very casual wear with a Chanel bag here, McQueen scarf there, and Louboutins down there. Another one of my favorites…

garcellmas.jpg

Garcelle Beauvias-Nilon gets extra kudos from me for looking great carrying two in her oven! Before delivering her sons Jax and Jaid, she definitely carried them with style and sophistication…

keishama.jpg

Former Total member Keisha Epps, who was said to deliver her baby in the fall glowed everything I saw her. Her maternity style shined well and made her stand out just as much as her leading man Omar.

A FEW MATERNITY FASHION TIPS:

- Empire waist is the way to go! Tunic shorts and Baby doll dresses are your best friends.

- Have fun showing off your belly with stretch materials and leggings ala Halle and Nicole. Check out body wear from Rick Owens, and American Apparel.

- Skinny jeans are available for maternity moms! Visit apeainapod for True Religion and Seven’s options.

- High heels can be safe during pregnancy, but it is recommended that you lower the heel the more your belly grows. You can be fashionable but also be smart about your body and baby!

Okay…I want to retract that earlier bit of sarcasm…I didn’t let the topic load…these women actually look great…it’s weird that pregnant women are by far the most stylish celebs you’ve chosen to highlight this season…But you did feature two women who never appear here: Nicole and Jennifer… If you were more open in your selections, the fashion topics would be completely different…most of the the people you choose to highlight would seem terribly tacky when contrasted against truly stylish celebs (and Nicole is that…even though she had a stylist). I wish you’d put my girl Mary-Kate Olsen up just once…everybody emulates her… Her and Kate Moss or Maggie Gyllenhaal…

Ok if they can look this good being knocked up , I really have no excuse for my half-ass days…but I am soo glad that women can now be proud of how they look and the beauty of carrying a child ..my have we evolved from those awful Mumu’s and clown tents they used to make for pregnant women!

Um I’m not trying to be mean or anything. They all look great, and yes, i guess having ababy is a wonderful blessing..but um, I never did see anything remotely attractive about having a gut stick out 5 feet from yo body. So when people talk about it being beautiful, I truly do not understand. They look bloated, and uncomfortable despite the smiles they put on for the cams. Its horrible our society makes pregnancy look appealing, because I’m sure many every day women who have had babies would strongly disagree on it being all glamour. I just hope one day when i get MARRIED and decide to start a family that my experience is not as miserable as it looks!

First, I love Halle’s maternity wear…when I had my oldest it was tent clothes and I almost want number 4 to rock the new styles…cause i always have a cute belly when I am preggers…

and to #42 VICKIFIED…don’t apologize for being mean, baby, but you can always apologize for being ignorant. When you are pregnant, since you didn’t pay attention in biology…it is not a gut, it is an actual growing BABY inside your stomach that causes it to “stick out”…sometimes there are more than one in there! Imagine that!

I am a woman…not an ordinary woman and you are so wrong…pregnancy is beautiful and wonderful and I was fierce from the moment of conception to when my boys were introduced to the world…..if you are ever BLESSED enough to be preggers…I pray that you are not like those crazy chicks that eat lettuce but embrace the wonder that is God’s creation and design.

technically, babies aren’t in your stomach, but ya’ll know what I meant…lol…since I mentioned biology and all…

#29 I’m going to take that as rhetorical… It would be easier to post something she’s worn that WASN’T stylish…My fingers would fall off if I tried to post her infinitely fashion-forward and artistic ensembles… I guess I’ll say…most of the trendy items you find in lower end chains: bandage skirts, v-neck tees, footless tights, thread-like bracelets…all these things were made popular by the Olsens. Ahhh, here’s a couple of pics…just a couple to show her range…I couldn’t resist…

Great post Tianna!
Halle looks great always, but I love that you put Keisha Epps in here! She looks great in that turqoise tunic. I also think Nicole Ritchie is fly and I love the name Harlow.
That being said, NO babies for me anytime soon! LOL

Halle Berry needs to get rid of that mop-mess wig….her other pictures are nice.

J-Lo, Garcelle and Keisha look nice.

Nicole Richie’s ugly but she dresses well pregrent.

garcelle has such a genuine smile love her!

nicole in the last pic looks really mature and her african side shows more there….strange to me she is not as white looking there as she usually looks.
She looks mature like a 25 year old married mother and wife in that dress instead of like a little girl like she usally does.

Everyone on here looks nice and exactly how preggers should look - fab not frumpy!
