While most of us have been battling freezing temperatures this weekend and trying to raise some enthusiasm for Valentine's/Galentine's Day, Meghan Markle appeared across the pond to announce her pregnancy wearing a diaphanous dress by Caroline Herrera. Surrounded by sun-dappled grass, and lying with her head in her husband's lap, not only was she the picture of peace and contentment, but she might have been subtly paying homage to her firstborn, Archie.
According to The Evening Standard, the dress was one of several bespoke styles made by the designer during her first pregnancy with Archie. They also mentioned him in their announcement, choosing the words, 'We can confirm that Archie is going to be a big brother', to share pregnancy number two with the world.
The photograph, which was taken via iPad with photographer Misan Harriman, might also hint at how her pregnancy style might progress in LA. Seeing as the weather equals cloudless skies and temperatures in the mid-twenties, we're expecting a maternity wardrobe of breezy dresses, comfortable espadrilles and practical sun hats.

A sequinned dress, preferably one with some stretch that can accommodate your expanding waistline, is also fair game, according to Mandy Moore.

Committing to sequins, Moore posted a picture of herself in a spangly purple skirt and matching roll neck for a virtual appearance.
7 of 13Emily Ratajkowski
Emily Ratajkowski certainly didn't alter her personal style during her pregnancy, as this black jersey dress paired with slouchy knee-high boots proves. Swap the heels for stomper boots, and this look could take you through all three trimesters (depending on the stretch-factor).
8 of 13Emma Roberts
Emma Roberts had an excellent maternity wear wardrobe, and this combination of a loose-fitting slip skirt, a tee and backless loafers looks effortless.
9 of 13Kelly Rowland
Kelly Rowland, plus a pair of high-waisted trousers, proves that you don't have to hide away under baggy layers (although go right ahead if that floats your boat).
10 of 13Elsa Hosk
Elsa Hosk swaddled her bump in a printed dress and oversized sweater for a ramble through the countryside.
11 of 13Romee Strijd
In cold weather, your bump's best friend will be knitted layers (don't forget the beanie) à la Romee Strijd.
12 of 13Ciara
Ciara gave birth to her third child last year, and we're still in love with this high-necked, thigh-slit dress she wore at Tom Ford.
13 of 13Jodie Turner-Smith
Jodie Turner-Smith welcomed her baby last year, but not before giving a tour de force in pregnancy dressing on the promo trail for Queen & Slim. Responding to haters on Twitter, who criticised the crop top she wore on The Graham Norton Show, Turner-Smith said: '...gives zero fucks about your disdain for pregnant women's bodies on British television.' Quite right too.
