The last year has seen many Bollywood beauties give birth to their little ones. Neha Dhupia, Dia Mirza flaunted their baby bump, while dressing in outfits that balanced comfort and style. Maternity fashion has come out of the dreary depths of ill-fitted clothes and is now an expecting mother has many styles to choose from, without compromising on comfort. These celebrities’ fashion-forward looks can be replicated with a little help from homegrown fashion labels.
Anushka Sharma
When expecting her first child with Virat Kohli, actress Anushka Sharma preferred her everyday style to be casual and simple. Sharma wore a pair of peach dungarees which seems to be from the Australian brand, St Frock and paired it with comfortable white sneakers for a laid-back look.
Dia Mirza
For her pregnancy announcement on Instagram, the new mom cradled her baby bump wearing a flowing red kaftan by Boozy Button. Comfortable yet stylish, the kaftan is a great option for moms-to-be, making it a must-have for their honeymoon.
Evelyn Sharma
Many mothers opt for looser fits to hide their bump, but there is no reason to not flaunt it! For her pregnancy announcement photoshoot, Sharma wore a ruched bodycon dress in baby blue. The actress showed off her bump as she accessorised the dress with a pink cardigan, incorporating both colours, blue and pink, in her ensemble.
Lisa Haydon
During her third pregnancy, Lisa Haydon Lalvani was vocal about how she prefers to buy clothes that would work with and without a bump. In the picture above she poses with her son Leo in a dark green form-fitting dress by New York based brand, Khaite, something that she could use post-pregnancy as well.
Neha Dhupia
Also a fan of the kaftan, Neha Dhupa donned plenty of loose-fitting outfits through her pregnancies. However, what stands out is her ethnic look during Raksha Bandhan 2021, where Dhupia wore a House of Masaba flowing kurta paired with a red dupatta. Dhupia is a vocal advocate for breastfeeding in public and other mother-child related social issues, which she addresses on her platform Freedom-to-Feed.
Nataša Stanković
The Serbian model married to cricketer Hardik Pandya dressed up in a maxi for her pregnancy photoshoot. Strappy, pleated maxis like the one Stankovic is wearing are a smart choice for an effortlessly fashionable look.
Pernia Qureshi
Actor and entrepreneur Pernia Qureshi recently flaunted her baby bump at sister-in-law and stylist Saanchi Gilani’s wedding celebrations. Qureshi looked fabulous in a midriff baring Faraz Manan bandeau top + pants coord with a jacket.
