Pregnancy does things to your body you never thought possible. Your once 25 inch waist balloons to freakish proportions, your hair takes on a life of its own and you can now share your husband’s shoes with water retention-ed feet leaving your size six Manolos in dusty corners. But despite these physical changes, most mothers take it all in stride and some have learnt to turn these into fashion coups, stamping their personal bump style into veritable global trends.
We’ve put together a list of this summer’s most stylish #dressthebump trends by the hottest mothers on the planet. Be inspired, mammas!
Body-con Bumps
Embrace your newfound curves and strut around with confidence in a figure-hugging dress. If you’re feeling daring, why not try one with cutouts — which can be very flattering if placed correctly.

Boho-chic is, and always has been, a huge favourite with celebrities. Flowy and comfortable, it’s perfect for Singapore’s hot and humid weather, so take a leaf out of their books and follow suit.

Beach Bump
There’s nothing like feeling the sun on your bump, and who says you can’t look good doing it too? Flaunt it in a bikini, or throw on a kaftan for some cover.
