It's the Murphy's Law of pregnancy: Just when you can't imagine wearing anything but the grungiest of sweats and most comfy of slippers, a special event calls for getting all maternity-dressed up. Over the course of nine months, it's hard to avoid donning a maternity dress for one party or another. Take inspiration from the celebs proudly sporting their bumps red-carpet-side: There's no need to go the hausfrau muumuu route. If recent award seasons have shown anything, it's the glamour of the empire-waist maternity dress.
Since all eyes will be on your belly (and away from other trouble spots), you can be a bit more daring in your style choices ‑- and in showing off some of your other pregnancy, um, assets. We've rounded up some stylish maternity dresses to wear on any occasion when you need to dazzle ‑- weddings, work events, whatever.
The shelf life of these formal maternity dresses is pretty short, though, so shop smartly. For onetime events such as weddings, look for pieces that make you feel like the elegant expecting mom that you are. For less-formal occasions, choose dresses that you'll want to wear more than once and that you can mix and match with your shoes, blazers, jewelry and other accessories for a variety of looks.
