Bespoke Maternity Fashion, Fit for the Crown Princess

Here at Seraphine we are delighted to have dressed Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden!

The Princess looked stunning as she attended the Christening of her beautiful baby nephew Prince Nicolas, wearing a bespoke Seraphine maternity outfit created especially for the occasion.

Princess Victoria commissioned this stunning outfit personally for the happy royal occasion, having admired our bespoke designs for her sister Princess Madeleine and for the Duchess of Cambridge. We are always delighted to create bespoke pieces for royal clients; Seraphine founder Cecile Reinaud refined the exclusive bespoke design herself, which was then created by our talented team of in-house tailors.

The Princess’ outfit included a striking maternity dress in Seraphine purple, which she accessorised with a smart pillbox hat by top London Milliner, and favourite of the Duchess of Cambridge, Philip Treacy.

Princess Victoria Arrives at the Christening

The Crown Princess was a picture of elegance on the day, and looked stunning accompanied by her dashing husband and their beautiful little daughter, Princess Estelle.

Victoria isn’t the only Princess we’ve had the pleasure of creating bespoke maternity styles for. Her younger sister Princess Madeleine loved our outerwear collection; she chose our Cropped Peplum Maternity Jacket for her audience with the Pope in Rome, and donned our Blush Wool and Cashmere Maternity Coat to celebrate her father King Carl Gustav’s birthday. She later commissioned a bespoke Seraphine maternity coat to attend a special service before her brother, Prince Carl Philip’s wedding.

And of course The Duchess of Cambridge looked stunning in a bespoke Seraphine maternity coat on arrival in New York when the Royal couple paid their famed first official visit to the United States.

With Princesses Victoria and Madeleine of Sweden and British royals Zara Phillips and the Duchess of Cambridge all opting for Seraphine maternity clothes through pregnancy, it’s safe to say that Seraphine is a right royal favourite.

Karolina Kurkova Stuns in Seraphine at Cindy Crawford’s Party

The stars were out in full force at Cindy Crawford’s Miami book launch this week, and stunning super model Karolina Kurkova looked ultra-chic in a pair of bright white Seraphine maternity jeans.

Celebrating the launch of her friend’s new memoir Becoming, Karolina cut a stunning figure in our cropped white maternity jeans. She put together a chic monochrome look with a matching white top, a contemporary statement blazer and a pair of cool blue and white brogues, accessorising with a pair of gorgeous drop earrings.

And this isn’t the first time that Karolina has rocked Seraphine… back at the start of the season she wore our Black Seamless Maternity Leggings to dash between shows at New York Fashion Week, styling them with a plain white tee and an Alexander Wang blazer.

Seraphine maternity jeans have long been a celebrity favourite; in fact the Seraphine denim boutique has a celebrity fan club to rival the hottest Hollywood party, including big names like Jessica Alba, Alicia Keys, Isla Fisher, Mila Kunis, Danni Minogue, Fearne Cotton and Olivia Wilde. Kate Winslet loved our Black Slim Leg Maternity Jeans so much she even wore them to walk the red carpet!

Sophie Ellis-Bextor Rocks Seraphine: Balloons, Obama & Madonna’s Bra

Sophie Ellis-Bextor has done it again! A firm fan of Seraphine, this week Sophie posted some stunning pics to Instagram, having fun at Madame Tussauds rocking one of our stylish maternity dresses.

A photo posted by @sophieellisbextor on Sep 29, 2015 at 4:08am PDT

Sophie chose our Circle Print Maternity Dress to film her brand new documentary, getting up close and personal with the waxworks at Madame Tussauds! The UKTV documentary about celebrities and social media looks to be a lot of fun – she posted a selfie with YouTube sensation Zoella, laughed with President Obama and even tweaked Madonna’s infamous Vogue bra!

And earlier in the week she was spotted wearing the same dress, posing with a Baymax balloon at a Big Hero 6 themed birthday party. It is definitely her under there (we promise!) and, novelty balloon aside, the dress & Black Knitted Maternity Cape combo looked ultra-chic!

And this isn’t the first time Sophie has rocked it out in Seraphine… This week she’s helping us to launch our brand new charity campaign with Tommys – More details here. And our maternity dresses are perfect for her classic retro vibe.

She wore both our Black and White Polka Dot Maternity Dress and our Black Zip Detail Maternity Dress to red carpet events earlier this year, and loved our Woven Printed Maternity Dress on holiday in Nice with a cool pair of cat eye sunglasses.

Sophie is one super stylish mama!

Seraphine Takes Asia: Live TV, Mandopop & Maternity Dresses

Here at Seraphine we pride ourselves on making maternity clothes that are loved by some of the most glamorous mamas on the planet. From Hollywood A-listers to British royalty, we’ve dressed women from all over the world, and this week we were thrilled to see two stylish Asian celebrities working it in Seraphine!

Chinese Mandopop singer He Jie posted these gorgeous pictures to her Chinese Twitter account, looking super cute in our Geo Print Maternity Wrap Dress. She balanced the chic monochrome style with a pop of colour, pairing it with a statement red hand bag and posing in front of a colourful vertical garden.

Meanwhile over in Japan, national news reader Takako Zenba has been styling it out in Seraphine maternity dresses live on TV. Like He Jie, Takako is a fan of the Geo Print Dress, and also looked super stylish in the Bubble Print Maternity Dress. She opted for a more classic look, styling the dresses with simple maternity camisoles and delicate silver jewellery.

Wherever in the world you are, we hope you’re enjoying styling your Seraphine!

Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Karolina Kurkova are Stunning in Seraphine

Here at Seraphine, we are known for dressing some of the most glamorous women in the public eye through their pregnancies. And last week we were delighted to see not one but two stylish celebrity mamas-to-be rocking Seraphine maternity clothes… Singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor and super model Karolina Kurkova!

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Last Monday, Murder on the Dance Floor singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor attended the star-studded UKTV live launch at the Phillips Gallery looking stunning in one of our little black maternity dresses. She styled our Zip Detail Maternity Dress with glamorous red nails and a statement silver watch, finishing the look with a pair of classic black flats. The stylish mother of three, married to The Feeling bassist Richard Jones, is expecting her newest arrival latest this year; with immaculate makeup and a feminine half-up, half-down hairstyle, she ruled the red carpet!

Sophie is a fan of Seraphine maternity dresses… Last month, she attended a high profile London theatre premier in our Black & White Polka Dot Maternity Dress, and before that she made a glamorous appearance at the launch party of our brand new Kensington High Street maternity store wearing one of our LUXE maternity dresses. And just this week she was spotted looking uber-glamorous in Nice wearing our Woven Printed Maternity Dress with a pair of retro cat eye shades.

Karolina Kurkova

Then on Friday one of the hottest women on the planet, super model Karolina Kurkova was spotted out and about in New York sporting a casual chic ensemble including a pair of Seraphine cropped maternity leggings! The fashionable mum of one is expecting her second baby in the New Year, and rocked our leggings while enjoying a bit of down time between shows at New York Fashion Week. The stunning Czech model styled her maternity leggings with a long white tee, clean white sneakers and a stylish leather jacket, and accessorised with a chic white hat and shoulder bag.

Karolina created the perfect casual city chic style, and she isn’t the first super model to fall for our ultra-comfy maternity leggings… Doutzen Kroes rocked our Grey Bamboo Active Maternity Leggings for pre-natal ballet lessons while expecting her daughter Myllena Mae, and before that Claudia Schiffer loved our Black Seamless Maternity Leggings for everyday style during her third pregnancy.

Expecting her second baby later this year (a little brother for 18 month old Heath), Rosie has been a fan of Seraphine maternity clothes throughout both of her pregnancies.

Fashion Mamas Love the Denim Swing Maternity Dress

Transitioning between late summer and early autumn can be a tricky business, but these stylish fashion mamas have found the answer… it’s the Denim Maternity Swing Dress!

Fabulous Miami-based fashion blogger Kat Buccio featured the dress on her style blog Freshly Squeezed Fashionista, styling the look with a pair of comfy leopard sneakers, a panama hat and an adorable dinosaur necklace. She couldn’t get enough of the comfy fit, raving:

“Seraphine Maternity makes the most picture-perfect denim dress that I will definitely keep using after I give birth. I love the flowy skirt and the empire cut. It’s comfortable and easy to wear, especially when you’re nine months pregnant!”

And she’s not the only one to fall for the transitional charms of this denim dress – Kansas City-based photographer and real fashion mama Sarah Sweeney rocked a retro 70’s inspired look on her blog Becoming Motherful, styling the dress with a cute tassel shoulder bag, shades and a pair of statement fringed heels. We are in love with this look and she is in love with the dress.

And it’s not just the fashion bloggers who are getting in on the denim action. High society beauty Chloe, the eldest of the fashionable Delevingne sisters, is expecting her second baby later this year. She rocked the Denim Swing Maternity Dress when she attended the launch party of our Kensington maternity store’s brand new location on Kensington High Street, keeping the look simple with long flowing hair, a simple necklace and shades.

A great denim maternity dress is a transitional must-have – it’s perfect right now while the sun is still out, and can be dressed up with tights, boots, hats and this season’s must-have sleeveless blazers once the weather turns colder! If you love the denim swing dress, try our Denim Polka Dot Maternity Dress or our Denim Dungaree Maternity Dress for a different take on the trend.

HELLO! Editor Rosie Nixon: Pregnancy, Celebrity Gossip & Beauty Tips

Rosie Nixon is the editor of Hello! Magazine, and one of the most glamorous women in the media today. With previous credits at Grazia, Glamour and Red Magazine to her name, it’s safe to say that she knows her stuff when it comes to fashion and lifestyle! Rosie lives in London with her husband and 18 month old son Heath, and is expecting her second baby (a little brother!) later this year.

1) We love your style! Can you sum up your look in 3 words?

Classic with an edge (4 words, sorry)

A photo posted by Rosie Nixon (@rosiejnixon) on Aug 25, 2015 at 9:45am PDT

2) As editor of Hello! You have a stylish image to maintain. How do you manage dressing your bump for work?

Seraphine has been my pregnancy style saviour for the second time, I honestly think you have all 3 trimesters covered better than any other maternity brand. During the early months I find more loose-fitting styles work better but once the bump ‘pops out’, figure-hugging dresses and tops are more flattering. I tend to wear mostly dresses at work as they look smarter, but at weekends I live in leggings with smock tops, vests and cozy sweaters or wraps.

3) We’ve loved seeing you in Seraphine through both of your pregnancies. Do you have a favourite piece from our collection?

The Bump Kit London has been my wardrobe saviour throughout pregnancy. And I’ve totally fallen in love with the Graphic Floral Maternity and Nursing Dress – I love the slightly edgy print, clingy flattering style, and the fact I can wear it when I’m nursing too. I’m pretty sure I’ll wear it for as long as possible.

4) There must be plenty of glamorous events to attend as part of your job – what’s the most exciting event you have coming up & what are you planning to wear?

I’ll be attending the GQ Awards soon and the following night am hosting a HELLO! table at the British Olympic Ball. I’ll be wearing Seraphine on both occasions – the claret lace dress for GQ and black lace detail wrap maternity gown for the ball.

5) You’ve interviewed a lot of famous people with Hello! what’s been the most exciting interview or celebrity home you’ve visited?

I’ve just returned from interviewing Jackie Collins in L.A. – she was fabulous personified and I can’t wait to invite you inside her Beverly Hills home in an upcoming issue. Other memorable interviewees include Robbie Williams on the eve of his wedding, and Sharon Osbourne is always a scream.

6) We’ve heard a rumour you’ve written a book…

Yes, I’m very excited that my first novel, The Stylist, is going to be published by Harlequin (HarperCollins) in late January 2016. It’s a feast of red carpet fashion, celebrity meltdowns and features a big, exotic showbiz wedding. I REALLY hope you’ll enjoy reading it!

7) With so much going on, finding the perfect work life balance must be tough – if you could have one super power what would it be & how would you use it?

To click my heels, Dorothy-style, and magic myself around town – especially at the end of the day when I can’t get home quick enough to put my little boy to bed.

8) What’s your favourite restaurant for a romantic dinner, and which is your favourite for brunch with the girls?

I’m loving the new Soho House on Dean Street in London for mocktails, and I’m a fan of The Breakfast Club for their extensive brunch menu. I like to keep it local for romantic dinners and it’s always a treat to visit Trinity in Clapham, the food is exceptional.

9) We are confiscating your makeup bag – you’re allowed to keep three essential cosmetics. What do you choose?

L’Occitane, Precious BB Cream SPF30 – it keeps skin moisturized, protected and is a fast, effective way to cover blemishes; Mac cream blusher and Bourgeois Ultra Curl Mascara. And I’ll beg you for my Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Wear Lipstick!

10) We can’t get over your gorgeous shiny hair – what’s your secret?

Pregnancy. It is a miracle worker for hair.

Zooey Deschanel debuts her New Girl in a Seraphine Nursing Dress!

New mum Zooey Deschanel stepped out looking stunning in a Seraphine maternity & nursing dress this week!

The newly married New Girl star went out for lunch near her home in Austin, Texas with husband Jacob Pechenik, who seems to be enjoying his new role as daddy, carrying their adorable baby daughter in her car seat. Zooey looked fantastic in our Black & Pink Maternity & Nursing Dress, which skimmed her trim post-baby body perfectly, cinching in at the empire line to make the most of her figure. It’s always exciting to see expectant stars wearing Seraphine, but it’s somehow even more special when they carry on rocking maternity clothes after the birth!

She kept the look simple with natural hair and makeup, and teamed the dress with a stylish baby changing bag and a cute pair of ballerina flats.

The stunning actress is known for her cute and quirky fashion sense, favouring feminine cuts, bright colours and stylish printed dresses. Explore our new range of printed maternity & nursing dresses and channel a touch of Zooey’s style!

It’s great to see the new mum out and about and looking so fantastic just weeks after the birth. She kept a low profile towards the end of her pregnancy, and as it turns out, she had an exciting reason. Last week she revealed that not only was she a new mum, but that she was also a newlywed, having married Jacob in a secret ceremony – how romantic! Though we must admit, we wish we could have seen her wedding dress!

Congratulations on your new family Zooey – you are looking fabulous!
