12 bold outfits celebrities wore to reveal they were pregnant, from sheer dresses to daring catsuits

Beyoncé wore the sparkly, purple jacket from Dolce & Gabbana over a white blouse and black, high-waisted pants.

She didn't unbutton the jacket until the end of her performance, literally dropping her microphone to reveal she was pregnant.

The singer shared that she was pregnant with twins on Instagram in February 2017.

She wore a brown, sheer bra and blue silk underwear for the photo shoot. A green veil completed the look, and she sat in front of an arrangement of flowers.

Cardi revealed her pregnancy when she performed as the "Saturday Night Live" musical guest.

She wore a form-fitting, white dress designed by Christian Siriano, according to PopSugar.

The mermaid dress had a high neckline, a semi-sheer skirt and sleeves, and ruching across the gown.

Lively announced she was pregnant at the 2019 premiere of "Pokémon: Detective Pikachu," and not only did her outfit reveal she was expecting, but it also paid homage to Reynolds' film.

She wore a form-fitting yellow Retrofête dress that had sparkle embellishments, a thigh-high slit, and a bow.

The yellow dress nodded to Pikachu, who Reynolds voiced in the film, and Lively also had a Pokémon-themed manicure for the event, according to the Daily Mail.

At the end of the "Never Worn White" video, Perry revealed she was expecting her first child with Orlando Bloom.

She wore a strapless dress that had a bandeau of white fabric on the bodice before flowing into an almost entirely see-through skirt.

Perry cradled her bump as fog flowed around her.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shared they were pregnant with their son Archie through the royal family in 2019.

But when they were expecting their daughter Lilibet in 2021, they had already stepped back as senior royals, so the Duke and Duchess of Sussex chose to share their news with a photo of Meghan lying on Harry's lap in a field that was taken by Misan Harriman.

Carolina Herrera designer Wes Gordon told The Telegraph in 2019 that Meghan wore a floor-length, sleeveless dress he made for Meghan when she was pregnant with Archie.

"There's a reality, it's 2021, and we have a world to save, right? This is an undeniable crisis, and everyone has to do their part," Gordon said to The Telegraph about Meghan rewearing a dress she already owned. "At Herrera, we're committed to pursuing sustainable fabrics. But the number one thing that someone can do for sustainability is hold on to those pieces you buy and use them for a longer amount of time. That's why I think what Meghan did is such a powerful message."

Cardi B debuted her baby bump at the 2021 BET Awards while performing, similar to how she shared the news she was pregnant with her first child.

She wore a Dolce & Gabbana bodysuit for the performance, according to Vogue.

The top of the bodice and pants of the bodysuit were covered in sparkly embellishments, while the center of the bodice that covered the singer's stomach was emphasized by a panel of sheer black fabric.

Turner revealed she and Joe Jonas were expecting their second child in a black Louis Vuitton dress at the 2022 Met Gala.

The long-sleeve, semi-sheer gown had a high neckline and pleated skirt, though it was still fitted around her belly.

Silver embellishments adorned the bodice, elevating the look.

Ashton announced she and Tom Hiddleston were expecting their first child at the "Mr. Malcolm's List" premiere.

She wore a tan Sabina Bilenko Couture gown that had a sweetheart neckline and off-the-shoulder sleeves, which flowed into a cape.

The A-line gown belted on the bodice, and it was covered in sparkly embellishments.

Palmer shared that she was pregnant while hosting "SNL" in December 2022, unbuttoning a coat during her opening monologue to show off her pregnancy bump with a cropped set.

The trench coat was designed by Max Mara, according to Vogue.

Under the jacket, she wore low-waisted brown trousers and a brown blouse that tied just below her chest.

During her halftime performance, Rihanna wore a custom ensemble from Loewe that was inspired by "flight gear and the show's dynamic scenography," the brand shared in a statement on its website.

A red catsuit served as the base of the look, and a sculpted corset sat atop it.

She wore a red flight suit over it that was belted at her belly line, revealing that she was pregnant with her second child.

For part of the performance, Rihanna also donned a red, puffy jacket from Alaïa that paid tribute to André Leon Talley.
