Once upon a time, pregnancy fashion was defined by stretchy waistbands and shapeless silhouettes.

Of course, soft leggings and flowing dresses will always have a place in a solid maternity wardrobe, but thanks to the likes of Sienna Miller, Hailey Bieber, and Rihanna, so do crop tops, statement dresses, and occasion wear.
