Elsa Pataky has been rocking her Seraphine knitwear again this week!

The beautiful Spanish actress and her thunder god husband Chris Hemsworth are busy preparing to become parents of 3, ahead of the arrival of twins later this year to join their two year old daughter India Rose, but Elsa hasn’t let this faze her, and has been looking relaxed and stylish in Seraphine maternity knitwear!

Back in January, she sparkled in our Black Sequin Maternity Cardigan, and this week she was spotted out and about with friends, looking laidback in our Grey Wool and Cashmere Maternity Wrap Cardigan.

The cardigan itself, which is also available in cream, blends lamb’s wool, cotton, cashmere and angora in a luxurious chunky knit to keep you warm and cosy whatever the weather. Elsa wore it loose and showed off its contemporary waterfall cut, but you can also fasten it at the shoulder to keep out the cold and create a feminine draped cowl neckline.

 

She teamed it with a light floral summer dress, black ankle boots and a matching grey hat for a cool, comfy and relaxed style that is completely perfect for this tricky transitional time between seasons.

As we begin to move from winter into spring, we think that when it comes to transitional fashion solutions, Elsa has hit the nail on the head. It’s all about gradually introducing your new spring wardrobe, but keeping things warm and cosy with chunky maternity cardigans and warm woolly jumpers. A warm knit will protect you and your bump from the cold, but will also be easy to open up and take off if the sun decides to make an unexpected appearance.

We are so pleased to hear that Britain’s Got Talent judge, Alesha Dixon delivered a healthy baby girl last week!.

Alesha took to twitter today (her own 35th birthday) to announce the birth of her brand new baby girl Azura Sienna – what a fantastic birthday present for new yummy mummy Alesha!

This is Alesha and her partner Azuka Ononye’s first child and the couple are said to be over the moon. It may all seem to have happened very fast – it certainly seems like no time at all since we announced Alesha’s pregnancy on our blog, but that is because she managed to successfully keep her pregnancy under wraps for so long.

She has now revealed that she was already in her 6th month of pregnancy during the Britain’s got Talent finals – and none of us had any idea!This being her first child, it’s not unusual that Alesha didn’t start to show until late on in her pregnancy, but there are still a few great bump minimizing tricks to be learnt from Alesha’s maternity fashion choices.

Alesha’s pregnancy style.

The BGT judge managed to keep her blossoming figure well under wraps by teaming floaty maternity blouses and loose fitting blazers with skinny maternity jeans, and wearing glamorous swing shift maternity dresses that skimmed over her figure.

We guess it also didn’t hurt that she spent most of her time on BGT sitting behind a table, and that she disappeared from the public eye throughout the final months of her pregnancy in order to enjoy this special time with her partner – Good for her we say!

We are so pleased for Alesha and Azuka, and wish them luck as they start the next chapter of their lives as a family of three with baby Azura!

Just when we were beginning to miss one Royal source of maternity style inspiration, we have gained another!

Here at Seraphine, we were so excited over the weekend to see Zara Phillips in a stunning Seraphine LUXE maternity evening gown at one of high society’s newest and most popular events, the Boodles Boxing Ball!

British equestrian star, and granddaughter of the Queen, Zara Phillips is expecting her first child with Rugby playing husband Mike Tindall some time early next year, and is embracing her new curves beautifully!

She looked simply dazzling in our Silk Colour Block Maternity Evening Gown as she entered the Boodles charity event, in vibrant shades of azure and ultramarine which really made the most of her glowing complexion. Made in Britain, the gown itself is part of our LUXE collection – a stunning range of maternity occasion wear made in pure silks and the finest French lace.

A post shared by Seraphine Maternity (@seraphinematernity) on Sep 23, 2013 at 1:47pm PDT

The stunning maternity evening gown that Zara wore is made of sumptuous stretch silk and inspired by traditional oriental design, with origami pleats at the front which emphasise the empire line and short kimono style sleeves.

The plunging v neckline showed off her pregnancy curves, and soft gathers cascading down from the empire line over her blossoming bump created a truly flattering shape.

Zara secured the silk ties at the back to define her shape, and these ties can be used to adjust the fit for every stage of pregnancy, meaning that this beautiful maternity evening gown can be worn throughout pregnancy and for years to come!

Actress, Thandie Newton has announced that she is expecting a baby with husband Ol Parker! This will be the couple’s third child – a little brother or sister for their two gorgeous girls Ripley (12) and Nico (8). The pregnancy announcement was made as they walked the red carpet at the Toronto Film Festival this weekend, to promote Thandie’s new film – Half of a Yellow Sun.

A spokesperson told US Weekly: “She couldn’t be more happy. You can barely tell she has a bump and she’s been dressing different because of it”.

During the first trimester, most women will hardly show at all, which is usually a good thing as it is common practice to keep your wonderful news fairly quiet to begin with. But once your first trimester is up and you are wanting to share your pregnancy with the world, it can be frustrating if your bump is still barely there. Thandie was in fact spotted in two very different outfits over the weekend, one which concealed her tiny bump and one which showed it off:

Concealing your Tiny Bump

She first appeared at a variety studio in Holt Renfrew (a large Canadian department store) in black trousers and a gorgeous multi-coloured striped blouse which gave absolutely nothing away. This is a fantastic look to disguise a small bump while your pregnancy is still a wonderful secret between you and your partner –  black trousers teamed with heals slim and lengthen your legs, while a skinny vertical stripe on a structured blouse completely conceals the beginnings of a bump. A nice flowing empire line dress would work equally as well, with plenty of gathered fabric skimming your curves.

Get the Look with Seraphine:

• Black Straight Leg Luxe Maternity Trousers
• Stripe Empire Line Shirt
• Navy Knot Front Cap Sleeved Dress

Flaunting your Tiny Bump

Later she stepped out on the red carpet in a striking Stella McCartney shift dress in black and white, with a beautiful feminine, curve contouring design which showed off just the tiniest hint of a bump. The curvy monochrome design of this form fitting shift dress framed and showcased her barely-there bump perfectly. So if you simply can’t wait to share your news and want the world to see the subtle changes in the early stages of your pregnancy, then a figure hugging dress in simple block colours is the way to go, and a design that frames your belly is ideal.

Get the Look with Seraphine:

• Fitted Empire Line Cocktail Dress (left)
• Black Shift Maternity Dress
• Black Peplum Dress

Whether you are wanting to hide it, or show it off to the world, dressing your small bump at the start of your pregnancy is easy with the right maternity clothes. We here at Seraphine are very excited to see how Thandie’s maternity style develops as her bump grows – such a serene beauty and experienced mother, we reckon that Thandie will make it look easy!

Celebrity Pregnancy news for Kate Winslet and Jennifer Love Hewitt

 

Former Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle is expecting a baby! She made the announcement on Instagram on Thursday with an ecstatic looking photo of herself, captioned simply: “I am having a baby. Xx”.  (We love how many different ways there are these days of announcing your amazing news to the world)!

We are so excited about the first Girls Aloud pregnancy! The 5 Girls Aloud girls have always been in the fashion spotlight and have often made very daring style choices, so we can’t wait to see how Nadine adapts her own look to suit her changing shape! Her usual style is very glamorous, with plenty of fabulous little body-con dresses that show off her fantastic figure, and on dressed down days she’ll often be seen in over-sized tops with skinny jeans.

There is always a learning curve involved with your first pregnancy as you figure out how to dress your new shape, but we believe that the secret to fabulous maternity dressing is to stay true to your own style! We think Nadine would look amazing in our black maternity shift dress, or maybe a pair of maternity skinny jeans with a gorgeous top from our LUXE collection.

We wish Nadine all the best with her exciting journey into motherhood, and can’t wait to follow her maternity style as it develops!

 

4^th in line to the throne of Monaco, Charlotte Casiraghi is the granddaughter of legendary style icon, Grace Kelly and has been more than living up to her grandmother’s formidable fashion legacy.  A true fashionista princess, she frequently tops best dressed lists, has featured on the covers of Elle magazine and French Vogue and was last year’s face of Gucci.

Here at Seraphine we are very excited about the rumours flying around that she is expecting her first child with French comic actor Gad Elmaleh! Nothing has been officially announced yet, but she was recently spotted out shopping for baby clothes in Capri looking casually stylish and unmistakably pregnant in a gorgeous sundress contrasting zigzags and stripes, teamed with a large yellow tote bag. The short hemline showed off her fabulous legs to great effect and she finished off her fashionable summer look with a pair of simple gold sandals.

Charlotte has always been a lover of designers such as Gucci, Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld and has many of her clothes made bespoke, so we are expecting to see some truly stunning designer maternity outfits in the coming months. We think that we can look forward to a very fashionable pregnancy!

We simply can’t wait to compare her developing maternity style to our own British royals. Charlotte tends to be more daring with her fashion choices than Kate who maintained her classically elegant look throughout, and Zara Phillips usually opts for a casual chic sporty look. With three very different, but equally fashionable royal maternity styles to choose from, we are utterly spoilt for choice at the moment when it comes to royal fashion inspiration!

Congratulations are in order for Megan Fox as her publicist confirms she is pregnant with her second child!

 

Megan has previously shared her desire for more children in the March 2013 issue of Marie Claire UK where she said “All I wanted to do my whole life was have a baby and, now, I’ve finally done it. I just want to give Noah as much of myself as I can. And I want to have more kids. That is where my heart is.” So this comes as no surprise really!

 

We are used to seeing her looking beautiful in stunning designer dresses on the red carpet, but Megan Fox’s maternity style the first time around consisted of a few bump flattering bodycon dresses and plenty of boyfriend t-shirts and jeans. A woman’s maternity style will often change the second time around, so we can’t wait to see how her style will evolve with this pregnancy. Will she continue to rock the casual chic look or will she make some changes?

 

We can definitely picture her wearing our sixties style empire line pleated maternity dress or our faux leather maternity leggings. Both are fantastic casual chic styles with an edgy modern feel.

The whole country seems to be on tenterhooks at the moment waiting for news of the Duchess of Cambridge who’s due date is any day now. But as the much anticipated 3^rd heir to the throne has yet to make an appearance, huge congratulations are still in order for the royal family as Granddaughter of the Queen, Zara Phillips and her husband Mike Tindall have revealed that they are expecting another new royal baby in early 2014!

 

Much focus has surrounded the Duchess of Cambridge’s maternity style choices, and now just as we are to lose Kate Middleton as a source of maternity fashion inspiration, we gain Zara Phillips – we couldn’t have planned it better ourselves!

 

Zara’s style is quite different from Kate’s. A keen equestrian, her day-to-day look tends to feature jeans paired with smart tops, and we are still sure to see some glamorous outfits for formal royal occasions. Her first public appearance since the big announcement was at the Queen’s coronation festival gala at the palace. She looked gorgeous in a loose fitting asymmetric silk shift dress with a beautiful feather motif – perfectly in keeping with her laid back tomboyish style.

 

We can’t wait to see how Zara adapts her style as her pregnancy progresses, and we wish her all the best for the exciting months to come!
