We know this one isn’t for everyone but it is actually far more functional than you would expect.It is summertime and the weather is unbearably hot. Not to mention that pregnant women are susceptible to hot flashes and heat rashes and to combat this they usually wear something light and airy. Well what’s more airy than a sheer barely there dress? Of course, it need not be as sheer as Rihanna’s but something a little less opaque and light weight will help you feel more comfortable. This also gives you free range of movement and keeps you from sweating excessively. Besides, what a cool and interesting way to show off that baby bump?

That’s right ladies, pregnant women can wear crop tops too! As your baby bump pops and starts to grow, it is harder and harder to find things that will fit over and cover it. So why try? Crop tops are far more comfortable and more versatile. You can wear them even after you have given birth. Simply reuse the colorful crop tops you have in your closet to keep you cool and help you look cooler.

3. Faux Leather and Latex

Who says you can’t be fun and edgy while pregnant? Rihanna doesn’t shy away from wearing a fair share of leather and latex and neither should you. Try to enjoy experimenting with new styles as much as you can. Rihanna states that she loves defying what it means to be pregnant and maternal. Not all moms like florals or draped fabric. These unique styles might get uncomfortable at times but it is important to dress up once in a while to help you feel more like yourself, even if that means spending 20 minutes trying to get your favorite pair of leather pants on.

Sequence, glitter, crystals and diamonds: you can do it all while being pregnant. There is no need to be overly modest or conservative just because a baby is growing in your belly.

And wearing a diamond or crystal encrusted waist chain or belt will accentuate your bump beautifully. See how Rihanna styles this sequence skirt and crystal waist chain with a silky silver top for her Ulta Beauty event. Classy, elegant and sparkly. What’s not to love?

Forget about the mini skirt, this is the era of the mini dress. Flaunt your legs and your baby bump fearlessly in a short length dress. After all, it is easier to move in one and will stop your body from getting overheated. Not to mention that it looks fabulous and you’ll want to wear them after your pregnancy too. You can pick a couple that suit your style: all black, neutrals, animal prints, or girly hues of pinks with cute bows. You could do it all!

Finding something that you feel comfortable and halfway human in is hard enough when you’re pregnant but finding items to keep things fun and lighthearted may seem impossible. However, it doesn’t have to be. Your body is going through a multitude of changes rapidly and it is easy to feel like more of a host than a person sometimes. This is why it is important to continuously claim ownership of your body by breaking out of pre-existing molds and standards and expressing yourself through clothing. Wear something you love, and something that makes you feel like you. After all, that’s what Rihanna is all about: being authentic and true to yourself.
