Celebrity-Inspired Costumes Perfect for Pregnancy (and the Screen)
If you’re anything like us, you probably told yourself that this would FINALLY be the year that you planned your Halloween costume in advance. And yet, here we are! Don’t worry — we’ve put together some last-minute celeb-inspired Halloween costumes that are pregnancy and Zoom friendly.
Of course, we also hunted down the lookalikes on Amazon Prime so you can get the look overnight! Follow the lead of trend-setting celebrity mamas who very publicly embraced their baby bumps.
Stun like Duchess of Sussex with baby Archie
Remember when Meghan Markle made a surprise appearance at the 2018 British Fashion Awards? Make a cameo of your own in a glam gown and sleek ballet bun.
1) Ditch the belt on this bump-friendly dress and accessorize with 2) this hair gel with a sheen, 3) a stack of gold bangles, and 4) a faux microphone. Complete the look with 5) a midnight-blue nail polish that is (gasp!) definitely not approved by the Queen.
Act like Lucille Ball with baby Desiderio
A throwback to 1952 and a tip of the—well, perm—to comedian Lucille Ball, who broke barriers for appearing on-screen throughout her pregnancy. She was expecting her second baby with co-star Desi Arnaz while filming the second season of I Love Lucy. Fun fact: every script showing a pregnant Lucille Ball had to be reviewed by a priest, a minister, and a rabbi.
Settle in with 1) a flowy polka dot swing dress over any comfy pair of pants and 2) the most extra collar you can find. 3) Curl hair. Apply a black and white filter before posting and voila!
Go iconic like Kim K with baby North
Rolling into the 2013 Met Gala with husband Kanye West, Kim Kardashian West wowed in a symbolic floral ensemble. DIY a controversial red carpet moment at home with 1) the dress, of course (size down to get the fit), 2) wine colored lipstick, 3) an extra long ponytail, and 4) your very own red carpet — which you deserve, even if no one else will see.
Be a legend like Serena Williams with baby Olympia
If you’re living in your sneakers, you’re in good company: Serena was expecting her first with Alexis Ohanian when she won the Australian Open.
While we applaud you for getting out of bed (especially in that first trimester), you can harness your inner athlete with this sporty getup: 1) sponsored Nike tank, 2) fashion-forward tennis skirt in quick-dry fabric, 3) tennis racket with a necessary touch of neon, 4) compression sleeves, 5) no-frills headband. BYO trophy.
Win at life like Catherine Zeta-Jones with baby Carys
In her third trimester, Catherine Zeta-Jones won Best Supporting Actress at the 75th Annual Academy Awards for her role in Chicago while expecting a little one with husband Michael Douglas.
Harness your own moment in the spotlight with 1) this strappy gown full of drama, 2) a faux chignon full of elegance, 3) costume earrings to rival Piaget, and 4) a heavy handy of shimmery highlighter across the apples of your cheeks. Don’t forget the 5) Oscar! Who would you like to thank?
Break Instagram like Beyoncé with babies Sir Carter and Rumi
Ready to go really bold? Queen Bey revealed that she and Jay Z were expecting twins in an incredibly artisitc photo shoot that racked up over 11 million likes. Bare your bump in a 1) burgundy balconette bra paired with 2) sweetly silk panties in a perfect baby blue. The 3) sheer green scarf is a must, as are the colorful (and perfectly Zoom-ready) backdrop garlands in rose and fern.
