Rihanna's recent pregnancy announcement has changed the genre of 'maternity style' as we know it. Spotted out and about in New York - as well as on the front row at fashion month - RiRi has worn everything from cut-away catsuits to latex crop tops to sheer naked dresses. But she's not the only one who has taken a bold approach to dressing one's bump. (As Jada Pinkett Smith just posted on Instagram: 'Who says you can't wear see thru fits when you're preggers???' referring to a throwback picture of herself, and a recent one of Rihanna, where they're both showcasing their bumps in barely-there fabric.)
A few years ago, Jodie Turner-Smith styled out the most spectacular pregnancy wardrobe from Gucci, wearing sunshine yellow sequins to 2020's BAFTAs. In fact, after she appeared in a crop top on The Graham Norton Show, Turner-Smith had a message for viewers who didn't agree with her choice of outfit, tweeting: '...gives zero fucks about your disdain for pregnant women’s bodies on British television.' Quite right too.
From Beyoncé to Meryl Streep - who both, incidentally, had a 'goddess in gold' moment during their pregnancies - here are our favourite celebrity pregnancy style moments that tick the 'bold' box.

1 of 8Rihanna
Rihanna's expecting her first child with A$AP Rocky - and so far has redefined the genre of pregnancy style with latex crop tops, sheer dresses and this fabulous catsuit from Stella McCartney.
2 of 8Jodie Turner-Smith
Jodie Turner-Smith's pregnancy wardrobe was truly award-winning on the promo trail for Queen & Slim; just look at these sunflower sequins for 2020's BAFTAs.
3 of 8Jada Pinkett Smith
At 1998's Grammy Awards, Jada Pinkett Smith proved that she got there first when it comes to the 'naked' dress, wearing a spangled gown that framed her bump to sublime effect.
4 of 8Ashley Graham
Another fan of latex is Ashley Graham, who wore the fabric in firetruck red for an outing in 2019.
5 of 8Kim Kardashian
Compared to recent arrivals at the Met Gala, this rose-printed gown (albeit with a daring thigh-high slit) was a relatively muted moment for Kim Kardashian.
6 of 8Cardi B
At last year's BET Awards, Cardi B wore a crystal-embellished catsuit that framed her growing bump beautifully.
7 of 8Beyoncé
Beyoncé was a goddess in gold at 2017's Grammy Awards.
8 of 8Meryl Streep
Matching the gold of her statuette - the occasion was 1983's Oscars, where the actor had just won for her role in Sophie's choice - Streep and her bump were best in show.
