The glamorous evening, hosted by the Prince of Wales & presented by Fearne Cotton & Philip Schofield saw a whole host of celebrity supporters of the charity walk the red carpet.

The perfect pair of maternity jeans is a great place to start when building up your new maternity wardrobe. Lily tried several styles before settling on a favourite fit.
“Finding the right maternity jeans made all the difference to me.
At the beginning I wore jeans with just a stretchy side panel, I then moved to under the bump and now I’m a fully converted over the bump-er.”
After extensive testing by a panel of experts, as well as a public vote open to all the stylish Absolutely Mama readers, our maternity clothes came out on top & we couldn’t be prouder.

Chrissie’s Maternity Workwear Picks
“This is a typical work outfit – it’s my go-to. You absolutely can’t go wrong with tailored black trousers and a nice white shirt, pregnant or not. I am going to literally live in this outfit now for the next month.”
“These are my absolute go-to dresses for party season. You can go straight from the office to a Christmas party – and it helps that the Duchess of Cambridge wore them during her pregnancy!”
“This is a great weekend outfit. This jumper is my absolute favourite! What i love is the fact that you can slightly customise it, so you can wear it open and it’s perfect for nursing after you’ve had the baby or just generally for a weekend look.”
This weekend we were delighted to see Holly Branson wearing Seraphine to interview the inspirational Michelle Obama.
Watch the Full Interview
The two inspiring women & mothers sat down to talk about Michelle’s new bestselling book – Becoming.
Watch the full interview to see their discussions about parenting styles, fertility struggles, life as a working mother and the importance of strong female role models.
In Becoming, Michelle shares the story of her journey. From growing up on the South side of Chicago, to her years as an executive balancing work & motherhood, to life at the White House.
With Holly, Michelle opens up about what inspired her to tell her story and what it was like to write such an intensely personal & honest memoir.
Holly chose our Semi Sheer Black Maternity Blouse for the occasion, teaming it with a pair of tailored black trousers & a matching blazer. It’s the perfect look for a professional event or smart evening occasion.
Mum of 3-year-old twins Etta & Artie, Holly is expecting her third baby early next year. She has always relied on Seraphine for special occasions while pregnant.
Back in November, she wore a stunning silk maternity gown from our Luxe Collection to attend the Global Gift Gala in London along with Eva Longoria, Victoria Beckham and Princess Beatrice of York.
Ah Christmas – It’s the most wonderful time of the year…
Unfortunately, it’s also the most boozy. A scary prospect if you’re newly pregnant & not ready to share the news!
Not to worry though – we’ve got a few top tipple avoidance tactics to share as well as some delicious festive mocktail recipes to replace those Christmas classics.
1. Order when no one is listening. A soda & lime can be easily dressed up as a gin & tonic or a vodka and orange can become… well… just orange. Make friends with the bartender & ask for it in a fancy glass & the two of you can pull this one off all evening.
2. Always be holding a drink. This one is great for avoiding any friendly refills.
3. Use your partner. If he’s at the party too, he can help you pull off the classic switcheroo – choose identical drinks and subtly switch glasses each time his starts to go down. This works best once everyone else is a few drinks in – they’ll be too tipsy to notice!
4. Beer in a can. If you’re usually a beer drinker, choose one that comes in a can or dark coloured bottle, then discreetly excuse yourself to the bathroom, dump the beer & refill with water.
5. Develop a mysterious tannin allergy. If you’re usually a wine drinker, this one can be tricky to fake. Avoid the issue altogether by claiming that out of nowhere wine has started giving you a terrible headache after just one glass. If you’re feeling sneaky, you could even pass off one of your hospital appointments as an allergy test!
The ultimate winter warmer, there’s nothing quite like cosying up by the fire with something hot and perfectly spiced. Try this delicious mulled grape juice – it’s the perfect pregnancy-friendly alternative.
What with raw eggs, potentially unpasteurized milk and a healthy dose of bourbon, it’s best to steer clear of eggnog this year. Instead, why not treat yourself to a decaf chai Frappuccino – it’s just as indulgently sweet, cool & creamy with none of the risky ingredients!
Holly, who is currently expecting her third baby – a little brother or sister for 2-year-old twins Etta & Artie, opted for our iconic navy blue evening dress to attend the international charity event.
Holly was joined at the event by actress Eva Longoria – the Global Gift Gala organizer – as well as Victoria Beckham and Holly’s long-time friend Princess Beatrice, who are all long-time supporters of the charity event, which helps children, women and families in need.
The Virgin Manager and Trustee has long been a fan of Seraphine maternity clothes, having favoured the brand throughout both of her pregnancies.
She often turns to the Seraphine LUXE Collection for special events – she chose a navy blue Seraphine dress and matching coat for the recent royal wedding of Princess Eugenie to Jack Brooksbank.
