These Indian creators are not only showcasing their talents on the international front but also proving that fashion, humor, and inclusivity can come together to create a truly captivating presence. The Cannes Film Festival is undoubtedly richer with their participation. While there might be some hits and misses with outfits, we love seeing our favourite Indian creators on the global stage!

“There’s no way I’m going to go shopping in the maternity aisle” said Rihanna when she got pregnant. She rocked some of her best looks showing off her baby bump. Post-baby delivery as well, Rihanna continued to slay in her fashion game. There’s still a lot of stigmas around how a to-be mom or new mom should dress up. Thanks to our ReelStars who have embraced motherhood recently & who are to-be moms, they are paving the way for making the mom’s life look stylish too. It doesn’t have to be a stereotype. Yes, it has to be functional & comfy but it doesn’t have to be uncool. With Mother’s Day around the corner, here are some of the ReelStars who are loved for their fashion game as they continue to serve the perfect “stylish mom look”.

If we had to categorise Aayushi’s style it would be comfy & chic, & not necessarily in the same order. Aayushi recently celebrated the 2nd birthday of her daughter and it is noticeable that she continues to stay chic. Besides, we love the matchy-matchy outfits of this mother-daughter duo.

Urmi is a true fashionista. Her Insta-feed is filled with pictures that can easily be a mood board for varied mom styles. Be it Desi Girl vibes or Pinteresty, she never disappoints.

If the WEST has the Kar-Jenners, we have Alanna when it comes to giving unmatched aesthetics. From her wedding to her pregnancy announcement, everything has been captured & made to mom look absolutely insta-worthy. She continues to globetrotter with her husband & continues to smash the maternity fashion scene. 

She embraces her every curve & looks determined to give her followers multiple stylised options which they can opt for in their journey. From Suits to sequins to saris, she has donned everything with so much oomph.

The OG Desi International Influencer who doesn’t seem to catch a break, after strutting through fashion weeks. Furthermore, she toured for her new book launch “She’ll Never Make It” (Can’t wait to read it).

She recently announced she is expecting her 2nd baby & it should have come with a disclaimer. Moreover, because we are sure it is going to be a fashion-filled riot of looks. Some of her 1st pregnancy fashion looks are still unrivalled.

Mothers are all-rounder. Everyone around her has portrayed her like that & whether she wants it or not, she likes it or not, she goes with the flow of sticking to everyone’s expectations & pushes to be an all-rounder & almost every time she makes it happen & we (conveniently) believe it. She doesn’t have to. 

It’s 2024, and thanks to pop culture & influencers sharing their experience openly. However, the message is reaching a much wider audience that moms don’t have to do it all.
