I think it can be universally agreed that the fashion scope of 2023 was defined by the New It girl, Sofia Richie, and is set to continue into 2024, except this time, carrying the ultimate fashion accessory - a baby bump. The daughter of musical legend Lionel Richie and fashion mogel Diane Alexander, Sofia's style revolution has brought the rise of the 'Old Money Aesthetic' into pop culture, transferring the style from the Hollywood Hills to us menial peasants down below. To say that FashionTok is obsessed is an understatement.
Sofia's April 2023 marriage to music executive, Elliot Grainge, has led to the delightful news, announced in January 2024, that Sofia Richie is pregnant. Revealed exclusively with Vogue Magazine, Sofia discussed her reveal and the joy her daughter (yes, a girl!) is already bringing to her world. 'She’s growing pretty fast, so [the due date] is a bit up in the air'.
Discussing her upcoming maternity fashion, Richie reflected, 'Now that we’re announcing it, I have so many ideas,' she says. 'I’m not really tapping into maternity wear at all, if anything, I’m just sizing up. I’m also not buying an entirely new wardrobe for this pregnancy. I’ve bought a few pairs of pants in bigger sizes, but I’m wearing my same jackets, and sweaters, and trenches – I’m about to have some fun with it now that I can spread my wings and fly.' Sofia is about to show us a masterclass in sizing up one's current wardrobe to accommodate a bump, it seems.
We are intrigued to see how Sofia brings her unique sense into the scope of pregnancy fashion. We're predicting 'Old Money' with classical shapes and lines, sophisticated accessories and effortless casual wear.

Sofia Shopping In Beverly Hills, February 2024
Spotted shopping in Beverly Hills (let's not get carried away imagining what the budget was), Sofia matched a brown maxi dress with a Toteme Car Coat, sunnies from Isabel Marant and Sandals from The Row. Sofia finished off the outfit with a vintage Hermes Birkin 25 Leather Handbag in Rouge, which you can shop on Vestiaire Collective.
skims.com
Although it's unclear what brown maxi dress Sofia wore, her frock is exuding SKIMS, don't you think? SKIMS' Long Sleeve Dress is still available in black, poppy red and khaki, and will stretch with your bump. If you're looking for a brown number specifically, opt for the JOSEPH Silk Cashmere Dress, now 60% off at £198.

If you want to get a specific maternity dress, that also functions as a nursing dress, Seraphine has got you covered.

To say that this coat is a necessity during this chilly Spring weather is an understatement.
www.smartbuyglasses.co.uk
No longer available to buy directly onsite, you can still purchase Sofia's sunnies on SmartBuyGlasses in black for £200. However, we much prefer these Isabel Marant glasses in purple, now available on sale for £79.

Originally, Sofia wore The Row Constance Leather Flat Sandals but they're now out of stock, although you can try and get a special order directly from the retailer. For now, the Reformation Flat Sandals will do more than suffice.
Sofia Attending the 65th Grammy Awards, February 2024
Looking head-to-toe stunning, as per usual, Sofia stepped onto that ever-iconic red carpet in a uniquely-tailored Saint Laurent Caped Gown, smoothly fitting around her bump, whilst giving her shoulders that beautifully curved shape that only a cape can achieve.

Because Sofia's dress was specifically tailored for her appearance at The Grammys, it is difficult to find a replica of the gown. However, if you want to stick with the Saint Laurent brand, we recommend either this Roll-Neck Cashmere Dress, perfect for accommodating a baby bump, or their Asymmetric Draped Jersey Gown, although this may be a little tight on those past four to five months.

For a dupe so good you'll be wondering whether you can crash the next Saint Laurent catwalk, we recommend the Club L London Magdelena Cape Maxi Dress, available in sizes four to 20.
