Leading Ladies
Can you be cutting-edge fashionable and pregnant? Follow these sartorial trendsetters as they show us that dressing and styling a baby bump can look just as cool and chic as dressing themselves pre-baby.
Leather Luxe
Miroslava Duma, founder of Buro247 and a former editor at Russian Vogue, turns maternity fashion on its heels. Sky-high pumps and leather make this one rocking outfit (and mama-to-be).
Trench-tastic
Another Russian fashion editor, Natasha Goldenberg, who also created Tzipporhng, a women's clothing line, shows that a graphic coat is as statement-worthy as her bump.
Baby Blues
The editor-in-chief of Lucky Magazine Eva Chen shows how to rock a baby bump, color-blocking her outfit in two shades of blue. The midi-skirt is this season's "it" skirt, and we love the pairing of the unexpected, off-the-shoulder blouse.
Animal Instinct
These leopard flats are an unexpected pairing (and probably a relief during fashion week) with this rooster-printed dress. Do your maternity dresses have your frame feeling overwhelmed at times? Roll up the sleeves like Natasha has — exposing more of your arms will help balance out the volume of fabric.
Classic & Chic
Black, white and camel consistently come together as one of the best color combinations, and Miroslava's take on the classic trio is no exception. The long black dress is slimming, while the camel coat, tossed over her shoulders, adds that ounce of cool that every pregnant woman needs and wants.
Short Suited
During the day, pair shorter skirts and dresses with a longer jacket or a 3/4-length coat, as Eva has done. The sexiness of the dress is still apparent without leaving you feeling over-exposed. Come night-time though, toss aside that coat and let that dress (and bump) shine.
Long Linen
Miroslava beats the heat by donning linen from head to toe. The matching dress underneath the floor-length coat keeps her looking chic yet relaxed, as if she just emerged from a spa.
Art Major
Sculptural and elegant, this white and camel combination has Natasha looking cool and comfortable yet completely in sync with high fashion, despite her growing bump.
Get Happy
Although we are confident all those feel-good hormones are at work, that doesn't mean you can't carry a pop of sunshine in your hands like Eva. The stark contrast of this fun yellow handbag against the black and white dress makes the outfit less serious.
Wrap Star
Tennis shoes and a twist on the iconic Hudson Bay Point blanket stripes leaves Miroslava looking fresh and carefree.
Purple Passion
Maternity style doesn't mean short skirts and bare shoulders are off limits. Eva shows how this fun and quirky dress (and bump) gets center stage with bare legs and simple, low-key accessories.
