Which celeb is singing the praises of our Black Maternity Pencil Skirt?

Beautiful expectant mother and talented actress Thandie Newton has been spreading the love for her Black Super Stretch Maternity Pencil Skirt!

The London-based star recently tweeted:

And just a day later, she was spotted out and about in London, rocking an ultra-chic monochrome look with her favourite Seraphine skirt, a graphic black t-shirt and black maternity tights and boots.

 

Black Super Stretch Maternity Pencil Skirt

 

It sounds like Thandie’s been getting a lot of use out of this little black maternity pencil skirt, and it’s easy to see why! Such a classic versatile style is indispensable for pregnancy. The super stretch ponte jersey is ultra soft and light, and designed to sit comfortably over your bump, growing with you for a perfect fit at every stage of your pregnancy. This comfy maternity style can be dressed up or down for any occasion.

A black pencil skirt is a must have for the office, but as Thandie proves, it looks equally fantastic styled casual with a printed t-shirt and boots or you can even glam it up for an evening out with a statement top and jewellery!

We love Thandie’s edgy maternity look, and can’t wait to see what she wears next.

She worked a casual rock chic style on the red carpet in London this week to promote her new film Labor Day at the BFI London Film Festival.

 


Kate’s Rock Chic Style

Kate looked incredible in our Black Skinny Maternity Jeans and styled them to create a cool rock chic look by teaming it with a chic Black Maternity Top and a sharp Black Maternity Blazer.

She finished the look with a pair of glamorous black stilettos and wore her gorgeous wavy blonde hair loose.

The all black outfit was chic and slimming, and even played down her third trimester baby bump!

Alesha Dixon gives birth to a baby daughter – Azura Sienna

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.

Maternity Shift Dress
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!

Zara Phillips wears a Seraphine maternity evening gown to the Ball!

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.

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!

Thandie Newton announces her pregnancy and shows off a tiny bump

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.

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:

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!

Our little fuchsia maternity dress experiences The Kate Effect!

Here at Seraphine we have been having a truly incredible week!

Since the beautiful first official photographs of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with gorgeous little Prince George showcased our very own Jolene maternity dress to the world, we have been very much enjoying The Kate Effect!

We knew that the Duchess had a number of our maternity dresses, and were very excited when she was photographed wearing our polka dot Renata dress during her pregnancy and our lovely lavender blossom dress soon after the birth, but this time has been something extra special! We are so proud that Kate loves our fabulous little fuchsia dress and are truly honoured that she chose to wear it in the first official family photograph!

 


 

Kate is a true style icon whose charm extends right across the globe, and her fashion choices are keenly followed by the world’s press. As a result, our little fuchsia Jolene dress has been at the centre of a media frenzy over the past few days and sold out in under 2 hours!

It graced all the front pages yesterday and Cecile, our Creative Director has been giving out statements and interviews left right and centre ever since!

 


A few of our favourite press cuttings:

We got a mention on the front page of The Times yesterday, we have been featured in Grazia Daily who published a fantastic article titled: “Everything You Need to Know about Kate Middleton’s Favourite Maternity Brand, Seraphine”,  the world famous photo will be gracing the cover of  People magazine who have published a great profile of the dress, and Cecile was interviewed by Hello Magazine, Our gorgeous fuchsia maternity dress was featured on Marie Claire, E Entertainment and ABC news to name but a few. We were even tweeted by BritishVogue!

We couldn’t have asked for a better ambassador for our brand than the beautiful Duchess of Cambridge, and are simply thrilled that our signature Seraphine knot front maternity dress is causing such a stir!

The first Girls Aloud baby is on its way… Bring on the maternity fashion

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!

 

Royal Maternity Style – Charlotte Casiraghi is expecting!

4th 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!

Baby number 2 for Megan Fox!

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.

It’s a boy! The royal baby has been born!

After months of anticipation, and almost a week later than we were all expecting, the much awaited royal baby has finally arrived!

All of us here at Seraphine would like to offer our huge congratulations to the royal family and especially to brand new proud parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the birth of their beautiful new baby boy. We can’t wait to watch him grow and thrive.

Your first pregnancy is always a challenging and exciting time, and we can’t imagine what it must have been like to experience it with all the eyes of the world’s press watching you every step of the way. But the Duchess of Cambridge has taken it all in her stride and has remained composed, graceful and stylish throughout.

We have loved following how her maternity style has evolved throughout her pregnancy and are honoured to have been a part of her wardrobe at this most exciting time in her life! A true style icon, The Duchess of Cambridge has been an inspiration to expectant mothers everywhere – proving that there is no need to compromise your own personal style just because you’re pregnant.

Now all that remains is to wish the Duke and Duchess all the luck in the world as they embark on the next stage of their lives with their brand new family!

Another royal baby! Zara Phillips announces pregnancy

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 3rd 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!

Baby joy for Alesha Dixon – here’s to the latest celebrity pregnancy!

We don’t know about you, but we’re really looking forward to following the celebrity pregnancy style evolution of Alesha Dixon after she recently announced she is expecting her first child. The singer’s publicist confirmed the momentous news to the press and her fans, saying: “Alesha Dixon and her partner, Azuka Ononye, are delighted to announce that they are expecting their first child later this year. Alesha and Azuka are looking forward to this happy chapter in their lives.”

 

Alesha followed up the revelation with a tweet to thank all of her fans and followers for their messages of support and congratulations, saying: “Would just like to say a big THANK U for all of your lovely messages and well wishes! #verysweet #veryblessed 🙂 X.”

 

It’s going to be a busy few months for the star, as she’ll be getting used to pregnancy, filming the next series of Britain’s Got Talent and appearing on the new ITV entertainment series, Your Face Sounds Familiar.

 

As if that weren’t enough, she’ll also be working on her next album. She’s making us feel tired just by looking at that list! Hopefully she finds plenty of time to pamper herself in between engagements. It’s her wardrobe that we’ll really be interested in though, as we want to see how she translates her usual look into the maternity clothes she’ll no doubt be stocking up on.

 

Actually, she won’t need to deviate too far from the trends she currently wears, as Alesha already has a fantastic sense of style. She isn’t afraid to express that huge personality through her clothes, which always results in a really fun and bright look. Like most women, we enjoyed seeing how she was a complete contrast to her Britain’s Got Talent co-host Amanda Holden during the live finals, favouring minidresses and bold hues over Mandy’s floor-length pastel gowns.

 

So, how might she make the style transition and what could she wear over the coming months? Here are Seraphine’s suggestions based on her previous great outfits.

 

  1. Bright colours

We love Alesha’s totally tropical dress sense – she’s a breath of fresh air, always looking like she’s on holiday even when she’s in rainy Britain. She can definitely continue this during pregnancy, as bold hues are really on-trend for summer 2013 and beyond.

 

Get the look with Seraphine:

 

  1. High hemlines

Just because you’re pregnant doesn’t mean you can no longer wear minidresses, so we hope Alesha won’t lose her penchant for high hemlines and will keep showing off those perfect pins. She may have to swap her towering stilettos for something more stable – but our ballet flats will look just as good with those thigh-skimming skirts.

 

Get the look with Seraphine:

 

  1. Sharp tailoring

When Alesha’s not in dresses, she often goes for a complete contrast by opting for smart yet feminine tailoring. Again, this will be ideal for pregnancy because a blouse and blazer combo looks so flattering – and the outer layer can be left undone when that bump gets really big. Unsurprisingly, she shies away from black and chooses bright shirts and jackets, so this is something we reckon will continue as she vets candidates for BGT this year.

 

Get the look with Seraphine:

 

Congratulations, Alesha!
