There was a time when all that an expectant mother would worry about was her growing bump. Quite curiously, she was expected to hide it from the public view as much as possible. And when it became more evident, pregnant women usually avoided stepping out unless it was for those doctor visits. However, things have changed for pregnant women and how. With dime-a-dozen maternity fashion labels cropping up and maternity photoshoots becoming the new norm, pregnant women now don’t shy away from flaunting their bumps. A large part of this trend can also be credited to our Bollywood celebrities too who keep giving us maternity fashion goals. Let’s just have a look at all those celebrities who not only flaunted their baby bumps in public but did so in complete style:
Sameera Reddy

There are pregnancy photoshoots. And then, there is Sameera Reddy. Yes, the Reddy girl blew our mind when she got a stunning photoshoot of her pregnant self – baby bump and all – right under the water! Sameera was pregnant for the second time and was expecting a daughter when she had taken these photos. She still considers this photoshoot one of the best in her life as she felt connected to her daughter Nyra while she was still in her womb! Apart from these, Sameera also aced traditional outfits during her pregnancy which she looked equally good in.

Amy Jackson is a British actress who became a household name after she starred in the superstar Rajnikant-starrer Robot 2.0. The Bollywood diva gave many glamorous maternity style goals by dressing in stunning dresses, glittery gowns, and gorgeous outfits throughout her pregnancy. She has proved beyond doubt that pregnancy does not mean you can’t keep it stylish.
Kalki Koechlin

When Kalki recently announced her pregnancy, it left everyone including the Bollywood fraternity pleasantly surprised. But that’s what Kalki is about. And when it comes to fashion, she’s blessed with a personality that easily blends into any kind of styling – be it traditional or western outfits. While on one hand, she would rock a saree, on the other, she’ll turn complete boho-chic. She’s a powerhouse not only of her acting talents but of maternity fashion inspo too!
Surveen Chawla

Surveen Chawla recently made the headlines with her awesome performance as Jojo in the hit series Sacred Games. It was only later that the actress revealed that she was pregnant when shooting for such dark scenes in the series. While that phase might have surely been tough for Surveen, she did keep up when it came to the maternity fashion game. Whether it was sarees, shararas, pantsuits, or gowns, the actress aced them all. But our favorite is the very risque pantsuit and bralette. We believe only Surveen could have pulled off something so risky and come out looking like gold (pun intended)!!
Esha Deol

If your idea of maternity fashion is something more subtle, then check out Esha Deol’s social media page to get some inspiration. Esha donned simple but lovely-looking outfits throughout her second pregnancy. And yes, she did put her baby bump on ample display. Now that’s what we call doing things in a glamorous yet graceful way. The pink sequined dress that she donned for her baby shower is one such case in point.
Aren’t these celebrity pictures totally inspiring? What’s more commendable is how much ground we have covered when it comes to maternity fashion and the choice of a pregnant woman to do things her way during the most important phase of her life. It is heartening to see that a growing number of women are embracing and flaunting their motherhood bump in such an inspirational manner. With celebrities leading the way, we expect and hope that things will only get better and bigger (pun intended) from here!
