Christine Quinn’s Maternity Wardrobe Is Completely Insane – And Utterly Irresistible

I'm assuming that you've been cancelling your plans for the past few days, given that season four ofSelling Sunset__ is now on Netflix. If you haven't, then I suggest you clear your diary for the foreseeable future – or long enough to watch 10 delicious episodes, anyway. Possibly all at once.

The scene-stealer of the series, it has to be said, is Christine Quinn. Obviously. But this isn't because of her dramatic crying (definitely real tears, you guys, ok?), her eye rolls (so exaggerated I was worried an eyeball might pop out at one point) or her hair, which appears to get longer every time she appears on screen. No, it is her clothes which completely dominate the entire show.

This is not just because Quinn's outfits happen to be the shortest, the tightest and the most overtly expensive. It's mostly because they are all of those things and more – the more here being the fact that they're being worn by a woman who is imminently due to give birth.

Of course, there's no reason why Quinn's, er, maternity style should come as a surprise. This is the woman who laughs in the face of a high heel and considers the term 'stripper shoes' a compliment of the highest order. For her first appearance in series four, Quinn wears a bodycon black dress, the skirt of which is completely sheer, which she teams with a 'purse' in the shape of a chair. Yes, that's right, AREA has made a small metal chair covered in crystals, charged $1000 for it and called it a bag. Of course Quinn bought it.

There are real bags, too. One of the most notable is the Dolce & Gabbana box bag which she takes to the dog party (to employ a popular phrase: if you know, you know). It's literally called the queen bag and costs £6,400. Or it did, anyway, before it sold out.

But while the endless bodycon outfits, sky-high heels and screaming logos are often outrageous (a Guy Laroche dress with extreme cut-out, which shows off flat abs mere moments, it seems, after having a baby), never subtle (I'm thinking of the £250 Kandee over-the-knee boots emblazoned with 'Rich AF' down the side) and just occasionally insane (I refer you back to the almost $1,000 chair that's definitely not a bag), they're also completely irresistible.

Quinn is, after all, the stuff reality TV dreams are made of. She's over-the-top, seemingly uninterested in what others think of her and entirely entertaining. And her style absolutely embodies this. As she says so profoundly, just a short while after giving birth: 'I feel like since I'm a mom, my fashion sense is, like, a little less hoey, a little more maternal. But, I mean no. Who am I kidding? I'm still a ho.'

Just to double check that this approach to getting dressed when you're pregnant/have literally just birthed a child isn't, in fact, considered de rigueur, I double checked with Rebecca, my esteemed colleague who is pregnant with her second child. Surprisingly, she's not averse to the idea of bodycon.

'Assuming it's very stretchy, skintight is actually probably quite comfortable when you're mega pregnant, because I would imagine it would be quite supportive (although I would be very intrigued to know if Christine is wearing some sort of girdle to hold everything in place). High heels at 8 months pregnant sounds like my idea of hell though.'

Interesting. But what does Rebecca make of one of Quinn's earliest postpartum looks which, along with those 'Rich AF' boots involved a thong-bottomed, skin-tight bodysuit from LaQuan Smith?

'Absolutely f***ing not.'
