16 of the Most Memorable Celebrity Baby Bump Photos

Of course Beyoncé has to lead the list of the most iconic bump pictures! She's not the person who would announce a pregnancy with something as basic as a mirror selfie, so the internet went wild when she posted this picture and the following message on her Instagram in 2017: "We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes."

This memorable bump picture, released after Kylie Jenner gave birth to her daughter, Stormi, was an exciting reveal for Kardashian/Jenner fans. Kylie famously kept her pregnancy a secret, though fans had suspected that she was pregnant, so images of the reality star during her pregnancy were hard to come by. The fact that it was a double bump picture (sister Khloé Kardashian was expecting daughter True at the time) was an added bonus!

Model Ashley Graham showed off just how amazing a full-term twin bump can look. She wrote on Instagram that this picture was taken just as she "made it full-term," adding, "Due dates are just a suggestion — babies will always come on their birthday." Sons Malachi and Roman made their debut in January 2022, joining older brother Isaac.

There were a lot of downsides to spending most of 2020 in a global pandemic. For celebrities wanting to have a secret pregnancy, however, it was an amazing time. Actress Amanda Seyfried was one of them who pulled it off and didn't share her bump photo until after she gave birth to daughter Nina in October 2020.

We've rarely been as moved by a bump photo as we were by this one from Chrissy Teigen. After the tragic loss of their son Jack, Chrissy and husband John Legend are expecting again. As she shared on Instagram, this the next chapter of a long journey:

"The last few years have been a blur of emotions to say the least, but joy has filled our home and hearts again. One billion shots later, we have another on the way. Every appointment I've said to myself, 'Ok if it's healthy today I'll announce,' but then I breathe a sigh of relief to hear a heartbeat and decide I'm just too nervous still. I don't think I'll ever walk out of an appointment with more excitement than nerves but so far, everything is perfect and beautiful and I'm feeling hopeful and amazing."

Meghan Markle is one of the most famous women in the world, known for both her global humanitarian work and for her impeccable sense of style. So, of course, when she was pregnant, she was extra radiant and pulling off all-white outfits that we would have spilled on in about five minutes. Meghan: pregnant and still a fashion icon!

Look, what's the point of being an international pop star if you don't take advantage of your own music video to make a bump-centered pregnancy reveal? Katy Perry knows what's up, so she unveiled her pregnancy with partner Orlando Bloom in the video for her hit song "Never Worn White."

Blake Lively is currently pregnant with her fourth child with husband Ryan Reynolds. She recently dropped a whole series of bump photos on Instagram as a way to get intrusive paparazzi to stop staking out her home. As she explained in her caption, "Here are photos of me pregnant in real life so the 11 guys waiting outside my home for a sighting will leave me alone. You freak me and my kids out."

This Instagram pic from Anne Hathaway is memorable both because she's a celeb who tends to keep things on the low-key side when it comes to sharing about her personal life, and because the whole outfit and pose are so relatable. She also shared that she's had some of the same struggles with getting pregnant that other moms do, too. "It's not for a movie…⁣⁣ #2⁣. ⁣All kidding aside, for everyone going through infertility and conception hell, please know it was not a straight line to either of my pregnancies. Sending you extra love."

Beyoncé basically broke the internet and was the talk of the 2011 MTV VMAs with her pregnancy reveal of the future Blue Ivy. This bump picture, captured at the end of her performance of Love on Top, was instantly iconic. We just love how totally joyful she looks!

Really, does it get more memorable than a bump photo on the cover of Vanity Fair? While Serena Williams isn't the only star to get the Vanity Fair cover with her pregnancy belly on proud display (the OG version of that is still coming up in this roundup), she looked simply stunning for this cover shoot in 2017.

Anyone who has ever done a maternity photo shoot (which we highly encourage — those pictures are so special later in life, especially when we're surrounded by cranky teenagers) hopes for at least one photo that is this epic. This memorable bump shot from Ciara was taken when she was pregnant with baby No. 3 and enjoying a getaway to Turks and Caicos in 2020. Dreamy!

And here is the one of the most famous celebrity bump photos ever. As Vanity Fair noted, this picture is truly iconic: "Congratulations to Annie Leibovitz, whose photograph of a seven-months pregnant Demi Moore for the cover of @vanityfair was just chosen as one of @time's 100 Most Influential Images of All Time."

This bump photo from Khloé Kardashian is both beautiful and a perfect example of a caption that did not age well at all: "Tristan, thank you for loving me the way that you do! Thank you for treating me like a queen! Thank you for making me feel beautiful at all stages! Tristan, most of all, thank you for making me a MOMMY!!! You have made this experience even more magical than I could have envisioned! I will never forget how wonderful you've been to me during this time! Thank you for making me so happy, my love!"

We love the hippie mom vibes and sweet big sister cameo in this 2016 bump picture from singer Pink that was also a suprise baby-on-the-way reveal. The photo was taken toward the end of her pregnancy with son Jameson, who is now 5 years old.

Gwyneth Paltrow shared this throwback bump picture from her pregnancy with daughter Apple to celebrate, well, herself on Mother's Day! "Fourteen years ago on the verge of a life-changing morning… To all of us, biological, adoptive, foster, spiritual, communal, all the den mothers and grandmothers and great-grandmothers and great-great-grandmothers, all the way back, happy Mother's Day!" she wrote.
