Celeb Moms and Moms-To-Be Share Their Maternity Fashion Picks

Getting pregnant is a blessing, but it comes with body changes that can be a little overwhelming especially in the fashion department. When you’re in the third trimester and you can’t reach your ankles to put on your underwear, you want to feel really good in the clothes you wear.

So we asked some celebrity moms and moms-to-be how they managed to dress stylishly and comfortably while they were pregnant. Here’s what they shared with us.


1. “I love the maternity clothes!” -- Fille Cainglet Cayetano

The former pro voleeyball player particularly love H&M maternity pants. “I just re-used some of my maternity clothes [I wore when I was pregnant with] my first baby. Happy that we have more brands now that has a maternity selection in their stores,” the mom of two added.


2. “I didn't buy one piece of maternity clothing!” -- Samantha Godinez Valenciano

The better half of Gary Valenciano’s son Paolo explains. “I didn't know what to buy and I have a lot of loose normal clothes to begin with. So during this whole pregnancy, I'd wear leggings, a sports bra, my Nikes and a loose top. When I started getting bigger, I wore tighter tops under jackets and cover ups.” She says she always goes for seamless types for underwear, so it doesn’t show when she wears tight-fitting clothes.

3. “I always use my husband's cut-offs or shirt.” -- Erika Reyes a.k.a. DJ Rikiflo

The Magic 88.9 radio host actually wears her husband’s shirts because they’re nice and loose. “But when I go out, definitely Elin (maternity wear), Harlan and Holden and maternity tank tops from Old Navy,” she says. She is also a big fan of scarves and recommends Seve's Mom as they convert to nursing wear. For footwear, she goes for sneakers “despite the trouble of tying them.” Her two cents: “I learned that just because you're pregnant, doesn't mean you have to change your style completely.” 

4. “I wore leggings basically everyday.” – Michela Cazzola

Leggings is this new mom’s ultimate pregnancy style essential. “The maternity leggings from Old Navy and Blanqi from Urban Essentials are super comfy, I bought so many in different colors,” Michela says. “Blanqi tank tops also very comfy and look very good [for going] out." For sleepwear, she likes soft hugging shirts and shorts, while she swears by Spanx for her underwear.


5. I refused to wear stuff that made me feel frumpy” – Mikaela Lagdameo Martinez

“I definitely am not a ‘maternity wearing’ person,” the mom of three says, “but if there was one maternity piece I would swear by, it’s Blanqi of Urban Essentials. I had it in black, white, and gray. It’s like Spanx for preggos!” She mostly went for stretchy skirts and form-fitting dresses from Zara, Mango, BCBG, and even Cotton On. “I just wore lace thongs to avoid muffin tops and love handles! Wearing pretty underwear makes a lot of difference, preggy or not!” she stresses.

They fit the body nicely with or without a baby bump,” she adds.
