What: The Maxi Dress for the Mom-to-Be
Why: Gwen Stefani may have her own clothing line, but L.A.M.B. minis are not exactly the most practical choice for a mom-to-be. Instead Gwen’s been seen everywhere in light, flowing maxi dresses. Come to think of it, Angelina Jolie seems to like the long look, too.
Depending on the style, we’re guessing that Gwen isn’t limiting herself to maternity maxis. Many of the dresses are cut for comfort and not necessarily a baby bump. And actually, the middle dress is the same
Diane von Furstenberg design that Paris Hilton wore on a separate occasion. If you don’t have $500 to spend on one frock, here are some other ideas:
We can totally see Gwen - and you - in this hot pink
Kay Unger Silk Maxi
. There are crystal-clear beads on the waist, padded cups (Yeah, we know you don’t need them) and a sexy low back. It’s half off for $238.90.
There seems to be room to grow in this
Sweet Pea Maxi
($90 on sale). We like the ruffles at the hem and the fact that you just slip it on, there are no zippers or buttons. The dress is also available in a blue zebra pattern.
Proving you don’t have to sacrifice style in the maternity department, check out this simple
Smocked Maternity Dress
in plum from
Old Navy
. It’s perfect for summer with a sexy keyhole neck, spaghetti straps and an empire waist. Plus, it’s a steal at $32.50.
