The best celebrity maternity looks of all time: Anne Hathaway, Rihanna and more

They’re dressed to the nines — nine months, that is. Hollywood’s mothers-to-be have pushed the definition of maternity style well beyond sack dresses and stretchy pants, embracing bare bumps, sheer gowns and daring cutouts both on and off the red carpet. There’s Rihanna, of course, who has turned each of her three pregnancies into a closely watched fashion event. Decades earlier, stars like Kate Hudson and Jada Pinkett Smith set the tone with glittering awards show looks that flaunted their growing bellies. And Anne Hathaway, currently pregnant with her third child, has taken her packed press schedule as an excuse to break out crop tops and custom gowns. Below, the best celebrity maternity style moments worth revisiting.
