Of the many seasons that are rung in, whether be spring or summer, there’s one of late that has been reigning. One that isn’t quite a part of the weather or affixed with any fleeting trends; rather a joyous blessing, a gift of life. In case you haven’t quite noticed, it’s baby season amongst the celebrity set. Who can forget the day when the Biebers made their announcement, via a swoon-worthy vow renewal featuring Hailey’s growing bump in a wedding dress. Since then, we’ve seen the Rhode founder dress up her bump in varying ways—from form-fitting Jacquemus silhouettes to dressing down on lazy days in a baggy T-shirt.

Ravishing as ever, The White Lotus actor Alexandra Daddario revealed her pregnancy with the utmost insouciance, whilst dressed in relaxed loungewear separates for an interview with Vogue. Then there was supermodel Adwoa Aboah, who chose this year’s Met Gala to reveal her pregnancy—in a crimson two-piece custom set by H&M, with her bump proudly on display.
Certainly, there has been a baby boom this year and if there’s anything we’ve gleaned from it at all, it’s that maternity wear isn’t really a thing. What pregnancy perhaps brings out, is the wearer’s sartorial sensibilities that not conceal, but accentuate the life growing inside them. That, plus the radiant glow and overflowing joy that has been bestowed on the mums-to-be. The ultimate winning combination, if we might add.
Below, see all the different maternity style codes as emulated by these famous faces.

Adwoa Aboah: Romantic flair
A crop top will flatter a baby bump as much as it will a toned midriff. Pair this with a long, billowing skirt to make this a girlish romantic ensemble.

Maya Erskine: Second skin
Four words: New curves on display. Show off your new silhouette with a slinky fabric like the Mr. & Mrs Smith actress. If you want to dial up the heat, choose a dress that’s sheer.

Ashley Tisdale: Classic off-duty
Might we say the failsafe combination of white T-shirt and jeans also agrees with a pregnancy? Like Tisdale, pop the remaining few buttons off to reveal a sliver of the growing bump.

Hailey Bieber: Old Hollywood
Here’s a maternity shoot idea: pull out all the stops and channel your inner goddess. In Hailey’s case, she could be in her own backyard, and still serving—in stylish frames and a peplum dress that hugs all the right places.
