The Best Oscars Maternity Looks
These fab celebrities show how to rock a baby bump on the red carpet
Going up to receive an award from the Oscars is an amazing feeling. But how to do it while rocking a baby bump is another! A lot of times, women feel they can’t rock the baby bump but it’s possible! Maternity and nursing fashion doesn’t have to be drab especially when you’re going to be glowing on stage.
When it comes to choosing looks, there’s always a matter of choosing the color and cut for the gown when going in. There’s also the matter of choosing which shoes to match it with. Since pregnancy causes you to grow a foot size, finding some comfortable shoes is definitely a start.
If you need some references, here are Modern Parenting’s Top 10 maternity looks you can reference from:
1. America Ferrera: Elegant and Red
If your kids have been watching How To Train Your Dragon, you’d recognize America Ferrera as the voice of Astrid! Glowing in a ruby red Alberta Ferretti limited edition gown, America Ferrera paid tribute to her character in HTTYD and Honduran Heritage by pairing her gown with a golden headband during the 2019 awards.
2. Chrissy Teigen: Red Accents over Skin color
When it comes to rocking fashion as an expecting mom, Chrissy Teigen’s definitely an icon to follow. For her Oscar look, she went with a nude-colored gown with red accents and a plunging neckline. The dress was fresh off the runway from Marchesa’s fashion line in 2016.
3. Cate Blanchett: Floral Accents on a Dark Background
Nominated as Best Supporting Actress in 2007, Cate Blanchett lit up the red carpet with a dark-colored dress with an asymmetric hem and white floral prints. 8 months pregnant with her son Ignatius Martin at that time, Cate Blanchett chose an empire cut gown to create a nice flowing image.
4. Emily Blunt’s Pretty in Pink
Who said that you can’t pull off pink? From Pacific Rim to Mary Poppins, Emily Blunt graces the red carpet in a pastel pink, body hugging gown by Prada. She customizes the pastel pink gown with a crystallized geometric clutch with some earrings to match the dangling accents.
5. Catherine Zeta-Jones’s Black Versace Gown
In 2003, Catherine Zeta-Jones received her award as Best Supporting Actress from her role in Chicago. She even managed to perform the song from Chicago – “All That Jazz” while 8 months pregnant and in a gown! Now, that’s something we’d like to call multi-talented!
6. Paula Patton’s Carolina Herrera gown
Back in 2010, Paula Patton rocked a hot orange Carolina Herrera while 7 months pregnant with her son Julian. The orange body-hugging gown sported an off-shoulder while creating a slimming silhouette.
7. Emerald Fennel in Gucci
For the latest Oscar’s Awards, British Actress Emerald Fennel stuns the crowd in a ruffled, light green, Gucci gown. The gown appears slightly translucent with floral patterns. Currently 7 months pregnant, Emerald Fennel mentioned how shooting while 7 months pregnant was “not too bad” an experience.
8. Krysten Ritter in Lacy Red
Nude is a perfect color for a background which can be accented with any color. Krysten Ritter, last 2019, pulls off wearing a nude colored gown with red lace embroidered for an accent.
9. Keira Knightley in floral
Pregnant her daughter at that time during 2015 Oscar’s, Keira Knightley wore a beige gown with some floral prints to showcase her baby bump. The gown was designed by Valentino and cursive writing of French words and some delicate floral accents to spruce it to life.
10. Hannah Bagshawe’s concealing black dress
When in doubt, go black. Black has always been a slimming color which is what Hannah Bagshawe shows here in her gown. Decorated with an elaborate gold accessory, she conceals her baby bump in a jet black gown.
