Steal That Style: Summer’s Cool Corals
![]() |
Color me coral! For expectant celebrity mamas, the bright color splash of coral in town is here to see the summer season out. From wrap dresses to stylish blouses, the tropical shade clearly knows no limit!
Mama-to-be Kendra Wilkinson seemed to kick off the coral trend in June when she was seen celebrating her bachelorette party in a coral-colored mini-dress. Quickly following suit, we then spotted Sarah Michelle Gellar who looked radiant in her coral maternity top as she made her way into the vet’s office; CBS Early Show and Big Brother host Julie Chen was stunning when she stepped out with her husband Leslie Moonves in a slinky coral top matched with crisp white pants; Former Victoria’s Secret Angel Karolína Kurková accessorized her coral-theme with a black belt and a gold necklace while visiting FOX’s Good Day New York.
Clearly taking off this season, the coral code is far from new — actress Rebecca Romijn brightened up her day last October, when she was expecting her twin daughters, with her T-Bags Flutter-Sleeve Dress in Poppy ($172).

Steal That Style: Summer’s Cool Corals with the looks below!
Maternal America’s Red Front Tie Dress |
Breaking Bank: In need of a perfect maternity dress to wind down the summer days and welcome fall with? Look no further than Maternal America’s Red Front Tie Dress ($129)! The versatile dress sports a unique tie front which can be displayed over your growing belly to keep it under wraps or tied in the back to proudly show off your burgeoning bump!
We’ve spotted a great deal! Originally on sale for $125, A Pea in the Pod’s Spaghetti Strap Crochet Detailed Maternity Top has been marked down to $60! We love the added crochet detailing along the neckline, and the simple yet elegant style made up of breathable cotton to keep expectant mamas cool and refreshed.
Francene Strapless Coral Dress |
Not Pinching Pennies: Dress it up, dress it down, but for mamas-to-be, the Francene Strapless Coral Dress ($40) is a steal either way! Complete with a built in bra, the maxi dress would be a great splurge for a babymoon: add a pair of flip-flops and stroll through the shops during the day or accessorize the ensemble and carry the look off while out on a dinner date.
Simple, yet stylish, we are loving GapMaternity’s Smocked Top ($44.50). Made up of 100% cotton, this top is all about comfort. For women who prefer an easy fit when it comes to their maternity wear, check out the wide neckline and loose-fitting fabric over the belly.
Old Navy Maternity Long Layering Cami |
Bargain Buying: Baby bumps can grow fast — often much faster than an expectant mama can keep up with her growing wardrobe! Tees and tanks that fit in the first trimester leave belly peeking through by the end (or sooner!) than the second trimester; Fortunately, Old Navy Maternity’s Long Layering Camis ($5) help stretch the buck a bit further. The 100% cotton tank’s long length is great for layering blouses while keeping all newly added assets completely covered! The casual look is also an option for a day around the house.
Also, be sure to check out Destination Maternity’s Sleeveless Smocked Maternity Dress ($25), an adorable summer dress fit for even the hottest days of the season!

I think that Kendra and Sarah Michell Gellar look the best here. Thanks for the links to some of the maternity clothes, hopefully some of them will be able to ship to the UK!
