Nicole Richie's Maternity Line For A Pea in the Pod.
Celebrities have delivered — Hollywood’s expectant moms such as Reality TV Star Kourtney Kardashian, Top Chef Host Padma Lakshmi and The Real Housewives of NYC’s Bethenny Frankel are owning their signature style while embracing their bump.
Nicole Richie’s two pregnancies helped grow her new line “Nicole,” a marriage of mother earth and hippie-chic, which is available at Pea in the Pod. Think flowing peasant tops, maxi-dresses and braided detail. Prices range from $48 for tank tops to $148 for maxidresses.
And yes, it is possible for expecting Mothers to embrace the bump without a celeb-Mom budget. Designer maternity brands are offered at bumpbargains.com; here you can find bump-worthy looks at 50 percent to 80 percent off the original price. Each day one designer item is featured until it's sold out.
Designers are even considering that fourth trimester, for those new moms who want to look stylish while carrying a few extra baby pounds. Look for pieces that evolve with each trimester, even those few months after your pregnancy.
Always wonder how the famous mommies to be look so beautfiul on the red carpet? Well, like any true fashionista, they start with the right undergarments.
A maternity wardrobe must have is "the tummy sleeve" (pictured above) found at Motherhood Maternity, located at the Westside Pavilion Shopping Center in Los Angeles. For under $20 this versatile basic works before, during and after pregnancy to be worn over the tummy, yet under the clothes to give a sleek look.
Style Tip Of The Day: Still not sure what to expect when expecting? For a quick change, try out jeweled headbands or bauble necklaces to dress up or down a basic—say that black wrap dress.
