Malin Akerman: Hides bump in oversized sweater and shows off legs in animal print leggings


Malin Akerman did a great job of hiding her bump today with an oversized sweater.  I think that she is also wearing a black shirt, which is poking out at the bottom of her sweater - making me think I can see her underwear or something?  Aside from the sweater, there is nothing that I like about this look.  The shoes are too bikerish and the leggings - they are unflattering and the pattern is horrible. 

See our guide on how to wear an oversized sweater / cardigan for some great tips.





Jessica Simpson pregnant again? Are we really ready for this?


US Weekly is running a story that Jessica is 9 weeks pregnant!  I know that this is not a pregnancy fashion story, but OMG!  I feel like I have only just recovered from the complete fashion disaster that was Jessica in her first pregnancy?  Have your eyeballs healed yet?  Can't remember what I'm talking about.  Don't remember the tracksuit pants with the red tartan jacket, or the oversized green poncho?  This blog is mostly about fashion wins but I'm putting it out there - if Jessica really is pregnant again, well I'm going to have to follow her.  It's like looking at an eclispe, you know you can't but you are compelled to.  And then you go blind.
 
By the way, what do you think of the cover photo of Jessica.  To me, her features seem very hard - not masculine, but not feminine.  Photoshop disaster I would say.

Model Lara Stone: Poor posing or poor styling?






Supermodel Lara Stone was posing very awkwardly at the Gotham Awards this week.  She is a beautiful woman but I think that she has it all wrong at this event.  For starters, it doesn't look like she knows how to pose to show off or minimise her bump.  The posing just looks so unnatural and forced.  Lara also has enormous breasts and this dress is doing a very poor job of containing them.  Especially the side on pictures.  The dress also has no shape - other than the fact that it clings desperately to her boobs.  The bottom of the dress is very rectangular - too much material which makes it look like a boxy old lady's dress if you crop the photo at the bottom.  Overall, a huge fashion fail - this woman is a supermodel and has the looks, body, money and people at her disposal.  







Petra Ecclestone looks casual in grey jersey


Petra Ecclestone shows off her skinny legs in leggings, grey jersey top and sneakers.  It's like she has two looks going on here.  The top half is quite chic - the grey jersey top (lose the white shirt underneath) and the scarf could look effortless with a pair of, you guessed it, skinny jeans.  A pair of flats or heels if you are a celebrity would really finish it nicely.  The bottom half of her outfit is more suited to a work out or very casual look.  The shoes are channeling Kristen Stewart, for sure. 




Adriana Lima shows off bump for Pirelli


So obviously this photograph is all about displaying Adriana's amazing pregnancy body.  No one in their right mind would wear an outfit out in public that displays so much skin when pregnant. Right? 

Lily (Allen) Cooper shows us how to dress a large bump


Lily, who is ready to pop any day now, already has an (almost) one year old daughter, Ethel.  I think that this is the last time, in a while, that we will see Lily looking so fabulous.  Two children under 12 months, oh my word!  It. nearly. broke. me. having a newborn and a 24 month old.  There aren't enough words to describe how incredible Lily looks here (and very tired). Which is kinda surprising, because I usually think that Lily isn't so polished in her look.  The dress is so flattering, especially when you consider how freaking enormous Lily's bump is.  It is huge.  I love the way the dress skims over her bottom and the colour - midnight blue - is really elegant.  Her hair is a little unkept, but maybe that is intended?










Anna Paquin: Hit and miss?


Anna Paquin delivered twins around August this year - at that time I was busy with a new baby, so I missed most of her pregnancy - but I'm going through my archive to dig up some beauties - like this one...on first glance I LOVE this look.  I really like a dress and cardie combination and this dress is really cute and the right length and doesn't show off too much cleavage.  But the boots.  Why?!  They remind me of Katie Holmes' fug brown boots that she wore almost every single day over 2012 summer.  They look okay from the front on view, but on the side view (below), I think that they make Anna's legs look really stumpy. Maybe a pair of flats or ballet slippers would have been better?

Malin Akerman: Why bother with bump watch?


So, picture this, you are working out at the gym (good for you!) and there is this tall, blond Scandinavian lady on the treadmill next to you.  She's four months pregnant.  Sucks right?  Malin looks incredibly fit and healthy with only a hint of a bump.  As far as workout gear goes - she's looking good.  I love those Nike shoes and would love a pair for myself, except they would probably come up to my knees (yes I'm that short). 





7th Heaven Beverley Mitchell: Heavenly?

I'm still in shock that Bev is 31 years old - she still looks so young and fresh (Lilo take note).  I don't like her outfit - the top looks so old fashioned with the lace detailing around the bottom and sleeves and in the photo above, it makes her boobs look like they sit at a strange angle?

In the second photo below, she and her husband look adorable together - very happy and relaxed.  Still don't like the shirt and those boots, ugh.  I'm just not a fan of the loose fitting boot - it looks to 'workerish' for me.  One thing this outfit does do for Bev is make her skinny legs look long.

Amber Rose goes nautical: Sink or swim?


When I first saw these photographs, I thought that Amber had it all wrong.  But after looking through them a couple more times, I don't think she's completely blown it.  I get that she wants to be different with the hat - why else would you wear a hat like that in public if you weren't vying for attention or just generally a little cray cray (I have been so wanting to use that phrase for such a long time!).  I really like the dress - just not the length.  With the hem length just above her knees, it makes her legs look really short and stubby.  Especially since she's teamed it with flat canvas shoes.  I totes (had to do it...makes me feel younger heh heh) understand wanting to wear comfortable, flat shoes.  Aside from that, I love the dress - the style is really flattering and it looks so cute with the little denim jacket.  I would like to wear a non-maternity version of this dress and jacket.

Petra Ecclestone - Still No Announcement


Petra Ecclestone, 23, owner of Aaron and Candy Spelling's former $85m house, is unofficially pregnant.  Being the daughter of a billionaire, I except Petra will have a new maternity outfit for each day.  Strike that, not maternity because she is of the skinny kind.  I really don't like her outfit here - except for that jacket.  That jacket should be mine.  The leggings look horrible - Petra has real Paris Hilton legs - very skinny with no shape.  And the big wide boots make her legs look even skinnier - I guess that's the point?  I think that skinny jeans would look better and probably give her a nicer shape. 




Camila Alves, Dressing for Comfort: Still Gorgeous?


Despite wearing the horribly unflattering baggy pants and brown boots, Camila Alves still looks gorgeous.  The long sleeved, tight fitting shirt really suits her - although I'm not sure whether that is a pattern on the side of her shirt or she has been spending some time painting with her daughter?  Her hair, as always, looks incredible. 



Fearne Cotton: Sheer Horror?


Oh gosh, I don't know what to say, other than that this is a very unflattering dress for Fearne Cotton.  She looks like the usual slim, pregnant celebrity.  But she has covered her body in a sausage casing and it looks wrong at all angles.  And don't get me started on the shoes with the ankle straps.  Total fashion fail.  Positive note - her hair and makeup are gorgeous.
