Neha Dhupia's guide to stocking up a stylish maternity wardrobe
If you are some one who wants to keep your sartorial credentials intact while bearing a child, you must turn to mom-to-be, Neha Dhupia.
The actress finally confirmed her pregnancy on August 24, a little over three months after her secret wedding to Angad Bedi. The couple was besieged by pregnancy rumours ever since they tied the knot. They put an end to all the speculations by sharing beautiful pictures of Neha showing off her baby bump.
We must say that she did a great job at hiding the bump! Her calendar has been full with events, shoots and holidays and she didn't let the big secret out, until she herself wanted it to. Oversized shapes, unusual silhouettes and statement accessories dominated her style.
Here's a detailed look at Neha's enviable maternal wardrobe -
1. Neha announces her pregnancy
Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi finally confirmed today that they are expecting their first child. Neha's pregnancy glow is just unmissable in the pictures.
2. The subtle art of layering
Neha Dhupia's style has truly evolved over the years. She has never shied away from experimenting with different looks, be it glamourous or edgy, and we guess that's what helped her adapt to the maternal fashion so easily. Notice how she used layers to hide that bump.
3. Draped skirts
Don’t expect to see Neha in boring maternal frocks or loose salwar-kameezes just because she’s expecting. She is not one to let pregnancy bring her A-game down.

Nothing looks more sexy on a pregnant woman than a floor-length dress featuring a deep-plunging V neck.
7. Pleates always do the trick
Neha illustrates why drawing people's attention away from the belly may not always be the smartest choice.
8. Oversized shapes
Unusual cuts and silhouettes are a great way to camouflage that baby bump.

Crossbody drapes and dark colours - always work.
