This is the definitive revolution in maternity fashion that Rihanna champions
Rihanna announced her pregnancy, we were not too aware of the importance of that belly decorated with a long necklace of pearls and colored stones.
The fashion press tried too hard to sharpen that vintage pink Chanel jacket; For its part, the general public played guessing the of the baby; and in social networks, her fans shared the desire to reincarnate in her or him.
However, as she has been seen, we have found that we are facing the standard-bearer of the great revolution in maternity fashion, which advocates showing off the pregnancy instead of 'hiding it'.
Don't you remember how pregnant women used to dress? Layers and layers of voluminous fabrics, black ensembles, lycra waistbands, empire cut... Anything to optically reduce the new curves. With Diana of Wales, the search for discretion went further by incorporating baby collars, ruffles and pastel shades; a sweetened style that marked an entire generation of future mothers, and that had its echo a few years ago in the outfits of Kate and Meghan while they were expecting their respective children. In fact, not so long ago...
However, the revolution we are talking about began to take shape when Kim Kardashian was pregnant for the second time. She spent that time skipping all the codes of maternity fashion, betting on tight dresses, visible high waistbands or transparencies.
It was the year 2015, and the socialite was harshly judged; nobody understood why this ignoring of the social contract. Her choices, on the other hand, paved the way for other pregnant women like Chrissy Teigen, Anne Hathaway, Blake Lively or Cardi B, without fear of showing skin, choosing vibrant tones or wearing very tight and patterned clothes. Apparently, Rihanna would have limited herself to masterfully consolidating that cheeky maternity aesthetic, which thanks to her influence has been expanding at full speed among the female population, finding its replica in street style and in other celebrities in a state of hope.
