Love it or hate it, Rihanna’s pregnancy journey is inspiring expecting mothers everywhere to hold on to their sense of style and confidence in their body. For many pregnant women, it is expected that you transition into maternity-wear, which are often dull, shapeless, and plain unflattering.

Maternity wear itself is a relatively modern concept. Before the Victorian era, expecting mothers wore their everyday attire, loosening garments when needed. Victorian era women began wearing maternity corsets to hide the appearance of a pregnant belly, and the practice has morphed into today’s conservative style of dress for pregnant women.

While celebrities don’t dictate our every move, seeing global superstar and business woman phenom Rihanna crush conservative maternity wear norms is inspiring a new wave of pregnant women to feel confident and stylish in clothes that don’t adhere to the “pregnant woman wardrobe”. Let’s get into these 10 looks by Rihanna, who has had the world in a chokehold since the announcement of her pregnancy.
