How to Do Chic Maternity: Anne Hathaway x Marc by Marc Jacobs

Anne Hathaway’s been out of the limelight lately, as she prepares for the arrival of her first baby, but all it takes is one stellar red carpet appearance to remind the world of just how chic and fabulous you really are – especially when pregnant. There’s nothing wrong with plain old maternity wear for these occasions, but I love when women make non-maternity clothes work in spite of their growing bellies. Anne’s black and white honeycomb shift dress from Marc by Marc Jacobs keeps her look sleek and streamlined without resorting to baby doll dress or muu muu territory – and to top it all off, she’s still sporting platforms (if you’re brave enough to wear anything other than flats during pregnancy, chunky heels are you best bet for comfort and safety). For more non-maternity maternity wear inspiration, take a look at the bags and dresses below.
