Stars who paved the way for iconic pregnancy reveals
|Published
As more celebrities expanded their family in the past five years, we have seen maternity fashion evolve.
In January 2022, Rihanna revealed her first pregnancy with a picture that showed her bare belly. For a number of years now, women have been wearing clothes that don’t hide their bellies to celebrate their superpowers as mothers.
Kim Kardashian
When Kim Kardashian was pregnant with her first child in 2013, she teased with lace garments. During her second pregnancy in 2015, she played more with lace dresses to show off her belly.
She paved the way for American supermodel Slick Woods, who ran with the idea and rocked denim jeans and cropped tops a lot during her first pregnancy in 2018.

The supermodel broke the internet when she went into labour while walking the runway at the Savage x Fenty show in New York Fashion Week and 14 hours later, she gave birth to her son Saphir.
Woods inspired Rihanna’s maternity looks since she did it first.

When Rihanna revealed her first pregnancy in January 2022, it became trendier because she has always been known as a fashion icon.
More women were inspired to boldly wear revealing clothes. During Paris Fashion Week that year, the artist/businesswoman broke the internet when she wore a black lace dress and a thong, leaving little to the imagination.
For that, she’ll forever go down as a bold woman who treats her body like a canvas for unforgettable fashion moments.
Ayanda Thabethe
During her second pregnancy in 2023, Thabethe joined the bold ladies and started showing her tummy more.
One of the best looks was when she announced the pregnancy in a white Laartneviole Emporium mermaid skirt with a matching bra and a veil.
She then followed with casual looks, which included her showing her belly.
Cardi B
The rapper has always been known as one of the most stylish in the game. Although her three pregnancy announcements have been amazing, the recent one is over the top because she dropped double bombs.
While she looked ravishing in a red satin dress, the biggest bombshell was when she announced that she was divorcing Offset, the father of her three children.
