maternity clothes don’t have to be ugly—just ask rihanna

style tips, celeb inspo, and budget-friendly ways to slay your pregnancy fits.

if you’ve ever googled “cute maternity clothes” and been hit with a wall of beige basics and shapeless tunics… you’re not alone. but here’s the truth: you do not have to sacrifice your style just because you’re pregnant.

this week, rihanna pulled up to the cannes film festival 2025 in another jaw-dropping maternity look that reminded us all: maternity wear can be hot, bold, and fashion-forward—if you want it to be. from body-con dresses to low-rise jeans, riri has proven time and time again that you don’t need “maternity” labels to serve looks while pregnant.

and she’s not alone—meghan markle also famously stayed away from most traditional maternity wear during her pregnancies, opting for chic coats, elevated basics, and sleek silhouettes that worked with her bump, not against it.

so, how do you keep your fashion game strong while your body’s changing and you’re prepping for the arrival of a tiny human?
