Rihanna’s maternity outfits have been a hot topic on the WhatsApp group I share with my closest friends of late. I can’t speak from experience—pregnancy isn’t something I’ve experienced first-hand—but almost all of my friends who have carried a child have told me that one thing they didn’t necessarily expect was how their changing shapes and self-image affected their personal style.
Each confided in me how they didn’t feel like themselves when it came to maternity dressing, subsequently defaulted to elastic waistband jeans and printed wrap dresses. Let it be known, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with elastic waistband jeans and printed wrap dresses, but if those pieces don’t fit in with your pre-pregnancy aesthetic, I can understand how it might feel as though you’re losing part of your sartorial identity. This is likely why my friends and I share mutual love and respect for Rihanna’s maternity outfits.
