Even though most women find pregnancy to be one of the greatest times in their lives there’s still one part of it that is a drag: and it’s the task of finding stylish and flattering clothes when you have to account for the rhombus-looking creature you’re about to become. But maternity clothes have come a long way since the 80s, when women were just pairing oversized men’s shirts from the Gap with lots of jewelry. Today, there’s a lot more options for women — in fact, it’s become a trend to wear formfitting clothes so onlookers can see how far along your fetus is into growing his toenails.
But one person who isn’t stressing out about finding maternity clothes is Beyoncé, who told CNN that she actually finds dressing her new figure to be enjoyable. She said, “I’m having so much fun, it has been the most fun time now that [my pregnancy] has been announced and I don’t have to, you know, it was really difficult to conceal. But now that I can be proud and excited about it, I’m having so much fun shopping. It’s great.”
B even admitted sporting clothes from her own label, House of Deréon, even though they’re not intended to be for women who are expecting. She said, “What I’m wearing today is part of the collection and it’s not supposed to be, but it actually is really good for…maternity.” She then elaborated on her fashion mindset, saying “My mother has always taught me that beauty comes from within and what’s exciting about being a woman is you can say, ‘Today… I feel really conservative, today I’m feeling classy. Today I am going on a date and I want to just be a showstopper.’ And you know there is a variety of beautiful clothes that can bring out whatever you feel inside. But it comes from here and you should wear your clothes, they shouldn’t wear you.”
One person Beyoncé hasn’t started shopping for is her baby, because she apparently doesn’t know its gender yet. But once she knows what she’s having, I think we all know how how she’ll proceed.
