It’s only been a week since Hailey Bieber announced that she was pregnant, but it’s already clear that she’s become someone who enjoys trendy maternity style. Not that this should come as any surprise – after all, it was a woman who created “milky berry nails” and “strawberry girl makeup”. And if her latest look is any indication of what we can expect from her summer wardrobe, plan to see plenty of her growing baby bump. In a fresh Instagram ‘dump’, Bieber shared several photos of herself posing in a Y2K-inspired embellished pink butterfly top, and we predict similar styles will sell out soon around the world.
So far, we’ve only seen a few glimpses of what this trendsetter’s motherhood era will look like. It started with an off-the-shoulder lace dress she wore for the formal announcement (worn during the vow renewal) and later, while out and about, she wore an oversized suit. But this look, reminiscent of every millennial’s 2000s crop top, shows everyone that pregnancy won’t sluggish down her sexier side, following in the footsteps of other crop top-loving moms-to-be like Rihanna, Kerry Washington and youthful fashion icon Rachel Green (yes, we know she’s fictional), whose adorable fraudulent belly was always peeking out from under her tank tops and baby T-shirts.
Mrs. Bieber styled herself in pink Blumarin top with loose boyfriend jeans and matching sunset eye shadow. And while the exact version will retail for a cold $690, you can buy plenty of fakes, both from contemporary retailers and vintage sellers like Depop and Etsy. While you certainly don’t have to be pregnant to emulate her retro style, those with growing bumps will want to make sure they find a style that’s adjustable. Otherwise, choose one that is made of stretchy material that will be comfortable and show off your belly.
While we wait to see what impact Hailey will have on moms-to-be, here are some similar styles (plus the real deal) that anyone can try if they’re looking to create their own Y2K summer wardrobe — at price points to suit every budget.
