Bump-baring outfits stole the show on the Brit Awards 2023 red carpet

Rihanna may not be in attendance at the Brit Awards 2023 (sob), but her maternity style has clearly left quite a legacy. Who could forget her iconic pregnancy announcement, which saw her stroll through a snowing New York street with her baby bump visible under a Chanel puffer coat? Queen Ri rewrote the rulebook of pregnancy fashion – which has typically revolve around “flattering”, “bump skimming”, “easy-to-wear” pieces – and embraced her growing body in all its glory.

TBH, we’re still not over it. And thankfully, neither is the rest of celebdom, as the A-list took to this year’s Brit Awards red carpet with three bump-baring looks from Jessie J, Kamille, and Montana Brown. 

If you weren’t already on board with the Jessie J-naissance, that’s about to change. The iconic musician just walked the Brit Awards red carpet for the first time in ten years, and let’s just say, she owned it. 

Jessie wore a crimson lace bodysuit with a cut-out for her glorious baby bump. In an Instagram video posted earlier today, she confirmed the sex of her baby, singing a song with the lyrics, “Something’s happening that I’ve been waiting for. I feel its weight, falling to the floor.”

In the accompanying caption, she wrote, “Since I wrote this song every time I play it or sing it he moves like crazy… so I think this song is the one.”

She then added, “Oh yeah…I’m having a boy.” 

In November 2021, Jessie J bravely spoke up about experiencing a miscarriage. Appearing on The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett podcast, she described the “intense sadness and grief” of baby loss. 

She then described her decision to have a baby on her own, saying, “It’s all I’ve ever wanted and life is short […] To get pregnant was a miracle in itself and an experience I will never forget and I know I will have again.”
