Elsa Hosk makes dressing while pregnant look easy, even though she knows it’s far from it.
“Being pregnant is so crazy, I forgot how hard it is to dress like a changing body and I don’t think women get enough credit for dressing ourselves literally every single day,” the 37-year-old model and HELSA Studo designer tells Glamour over Zoom while eight months pregnant with her second child with fiancé Tom Daly. “Every single day you wake up and have a different body, and so nothing fits ever and you really have to put effort into your outfit in a different way. You can’t just throw on whatever’s in your closet, and I forgot about that.”
That may have something to do with the fact that she spent her first pregnancy in a pandemic lockdown before welcoming her daughter Tuulikki Joan Daly in February 2021. “I didn’t really ever dress up, no one ever really saw me,” she says. “There was a few times the paparazzi got me, and I looked terrible. So this time around, I was like, let me put some effort into this.”
Now she’s in her third trimester of a summer pregnancy, showing off a wide-range of “bump fits” on Instagram with knowing captions like, “Just trying to be pregnant and cuteee,” and, “Just trying to be pregnant and cuteee PT. 2.” The Swedish model is managing to mix trendy pieces and eclectic accessories with effortlessly cool results, tagging as many of her wardrobe pieces as she can for others hoping to do the same. It worked on me: I’m not even pregnant, and I’ve been inspired by her summer looks.
Clearly, Hosk got the hang of dressing “pregnant and cuteee” her second time around, so Glamour made sure to procure her five pregnancy styling tips straight from the source.
