Gwen Stefani knows how to take risks in the fashion world, and that risk-taking attitude carries over into the choices she makes while pregnant. Other women are content to wear off-the-rack maternity clothes, but not Stefani. To get her maternity look you need to shop at the right store, take a few risks and customize.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Shop at Naissance on Melrose in Beverly Hills. This upscale clothing store was the first place Stefani turned after learning she was pregnant for a second time.

  2. Step 2

    Choose empire waist dresses rather than traditional maternity dresses early in your pregnancy. When Stefani hit a baby shower in California, she picked a Diane von Furstenberg dress with an empire waist instead of regular maternity clothing.

  3. Step 3

    Emphasize your baby bump by picking regular clothing and adding great accessories. Stefani likes to mix up basic black with funky belts and unusual shoes that put her bump on full display.

  4. Step 4

    Pick clothing from Gwen's own fashion line L.A.M.B. The line has a number of different maternity options, and Gwen often hit the red carpet in dresses from her line.

  5. Step 5

    Grab the Turnique Klimt dress in a variety of colors. This dress fits like a second skin: the bottom hugs the belly while the V-neck draws attention to your chest. Stefani wore the dress several times, sometimes alone with great heels, other times thrown over jeans as a tunic.

  6. Step 6

    Top off a long printed dress with a tight-fitting jacket or shrug. Stefani often paired a tight fitting jacket with an ankle-sweeping dress during her pregnancy.

  7. Step 7

    Pair a short dress with straight leg jeans and high heels. Never one to hide from a trend, Stefani loved mixing her old jeans with newer dresses that showed off her baby bump.

Tips & Warnings
  • To really capture Gwen's look, top off your outfit with a bright red lip color. This is her trademark.
