Maternity fashion has long suffered from an uninspired reputation, dominated by shapeless silhouettes, loud prints, and a frustrating lack of options. For expectant mothers, this often means sacrificing personal style for practicality. But not for Jennifer Lawrence, who is effortlessly proving that pregnancy doesn't equate a lack of sartorial panache.

The Oscar-winning actress was seen in New York on Wednesday, enjoying a brisk winter stroll through the city streets.

Jennifer’s look pays testament to the fact that maternity fashion has undergone a dramatic evolution in recent years, shedding outdated conventions in favour of a more fashion-forward approach.

The one-and-only Rihanna led the charge, making non-maternity pregnancywear the new norm - in turn redefining what it means to dress while expecting. Throughout her pregnancy, Sofia Richie Grainge remained loyal to her signature ‘quiet luxury’ aesthetic, proving that elegance need not be sacrificed.
