Kim Kardashian enters the Fortnite Icon Series with SKIMS-inspired styles

When Deepika Padukone announced her second pregnancy on Sunday (19), fans couldn’t keep calm. After welcoming a baby girl, Dua Padukone Singh, in September 2024 with Ranveer Singh, the couple has now shared the much-awaited news once again.

But beyond the announcement, what truly caught everyone’s attention, again, was Deepika’s unmatched fashion game. During her first pregnancy, she mastered the art of dressing to conceal her baby bump while staying effortlessly stylish. And now, with a classy second announcement, holding the pregnancy test with daughter Dua in the background, she has proved once more that elegance is her signature.

Let’s revisit her top maternity looks and photoshoot ideas that made headlines and are already inspiring moms-to-be everywhere:

1. Winter sleeve: The “Nobody’s Gonna Know” look

At the screening of her film Fighter in Mumbai on January 25, 2024, Deepika chose a beige-brown oversized sweater. It was simple, cozy, and perfectly in sync with winter fashion. The oversized fit subtly hid her first-trimester baby bump while keeping her look polished.

This outfit is proof that oversized winter wear is the perfect blend of comfort and concealment. If you’re trying to keep things low-key, this “nobody’s gonna know” vibe is your go-to.

2. The “Behind-the-Back” photoshoot trick

At the 2024 EE BAFTA Film Awards in London, Deepika stunned in a golden pearl saree. But what stood out was her pose, showing more of her back than the front.

This clever styling choice wasn’t just about showcasing the blouse design; it also helped keep her pregnancy under wraps. For anyone planning a subtle reveal or keeping it private, this photoshoot angle is a perfect idea, stylish and strategic.

3. The most-appropriate pose

At the Umang Mumbai Police Show 2023 on December 23, Deepika opted for a classic pose, hands placed gently in front of her belly.

This simple gesture worked like magic. It naturally covered her midsection and avoided drawing attention. For paparazzi moments or public appearances, this is the safest and most effective pose when you’re not ready to reveal the news.

4. Keep it flowy for summer

Summer fashion during pregnancy can be challenging, but Deepika made it look effortless. At the opening of her first skincare brand store, she wore a flowy sunflower yellow dress.

The outfit was light, breathable, and full of movement. She was seen twirling, embracing a free and fresh vibe that reflected the spirit of motherhood. Flowy dresses like this are ideal for staying comfortable while keeping your look vibrant and stylish.

5. Body-con confidence

Who says body-con dresses aren’t for pregnancy? During her Kalki promotions, Deepika stepped out in a stunning black body-con dress, and even paired it with heels.

This look challenged stereotypes. While many expect moms-to-be to avoid fitted outfits or heels, Deepika stayed true to her personal style. She showed that confidence is the key to pulling off any look, regardless of the phase of life.

6. Blingy and desi elegance

At Anant Ambani’s wedding festivities, Deepika embraced traditional fashion in a gorgeous saree.

Sarees are timeless, and Deepika proved they work beautifully even during the third trimester. While she did show her baby bump at times, she also demonstrated how elegantly a saree can be draped to provide coverage without worry. It was a perfect mix of tradition, glamor, and comfort.

From oversized sweaters to sarees and bold body-con silhouettes, Deepika Padukone turned every public appearance during her first pregnancy into a fashion moment. Each look was not just stylish but also practical, offering inspiration for women navigating maternity fashion.

Now, with her second pregnancy announcement already making waves, fans are eagerly waiting to see how she redefines maternity style once again.

Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh continues to celebrate the success of Dhurandhar, and Deepika has several upcoming projects lined up, keeping audiences excited for what’s next—both on-screen and off.
