  • Over the years, pregnancy fashion has moved from being modest and conservative to stylish and revealing.

If you think maternity fashion still revolves around long flare dresses, layered wrap tops, and stretchy leggings, you must get with the programme.

Fashion for pregnant moms has changed so much over the years and is no longer what many are traditionally used to.

Ordinarily, pregnancy comes with the expectation of dressing up in somewhat modern clothing to try and draw attention away from the bump. Gone are those days.

Today’s modern, expectant moms have found creative ways to embrace their changing bodies without covering up so much.

Over the years, celebrities such as Rihanna, Nicole Williams English, Kylie Jenner, and many others have challenged the status quo by wearing literally anything they want, from figure-skimming fabrics to sexy, sophisticated bump-baring cuts.

Here are the 10 pregnancy outfits we still can’t get over:
