Mother’s Day is all about celebrating the women who fill our lives with unconditional love and strength. Over the years, several Bollywood actresses have beautifully documented their pregnancy journeys through elegant and artistic maternity shoots that instantly became iconic. This Mother’s Day, let’s revisit some of the most talked-about maternity photoshoots that perfectly blended glamour with the joy of motherhood.
From monochrome portraits to dreamy couture looks, these shoots beautifully captured the emotions, excitement, and beauty of welcoming a new life.
Deepika Padukone
Deepika Padukone has always impressed fans with her impeccable fashion choices, whether on the red carpet or at public appearances. Naturally, her maternity photoshoot was equally stunning. The actress chose a bold black-and-white theme that highlighted both her confidence and happiness during pregnancy.
Keeping things minimal yet striking, Deepika proudly flaunted her baby bump in a series of elegant looks. One of her relaxed outfits featured flared denim jeans paired with an open-knitted cardigan while she posed beside Ranveer Singh. In another look, she opted for a sophisticated black blazer with a bralette and loose-fit trousers.
The standout ensemble from the shoot, however, was a sheer black floral-embroidered dress by Sabyasachi Mukherjee from the designer’s New York collection. The photoshoot also subtly shut down trolls who had questioned her pregnancy.
Sonam Kapoor
Sonam Kapoor has always been celebrated for her fearless and experimental fashion sense, and her maternity shoot reflected exactly that. The actress looked ethereal in a heavily embellished two-piece outfit designed by Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla.
The dreamy outfit beautifully highlighted her baby bump while maintaining Sonam’s signature dramatic style. She completed the look with an elegant updo, delicate white accessories, and soft minimal makeup. The overall aesthetic was bold, magical, and effortlessly graceful.
Alia Bhatt
Alia Bhatt’s maternity style won hearts throughout her pregnancy, and one particular appearance in Singapore became a fan favourite. The actress shared pictures from the event on Instagram where she was seen cradling her baby bump in a shimmering bronze gown while holding her award.
The elegant look perfectly reflected Alia’s understated yet glamorous maternity fashion choices.
Bipasha Basu
Bipasha Basu blended boldness with elegance in her maternity photoshoot. Known for her glamorous fashion choices in the early years of her career, the actress added a softer and more sophisticated touch to her pregnancy looks.
In one striking picture, Bipasha wrapped herself in a bronze drape while leaving her baby bump bare, accessorising the look with statement earrings and subtle makeup. She also posed alongside her husband, Karan Singh Grover, in a partially buttoned white shirt that beautifully highlighted her bump.
Another look featured an all-black outfit with a simple t-shirt and pants, proving that maternity fashion can be both stylish and comfortable.
Kareena Kapoor Khan
Kareena Kapoor kept things simple, comfortable, and chic throughout her pregnancy, and her maternity photoshoot stayed true to that vibe. Just days before delivery, the actress posed for a monochrome shoot that focused on natural beauty and ease.
In one of the pictures, Kareena wore a sports bra paired with a comfortable co-ord set. With minimal makeup and open hair, the actress looked radiant and effortlessly stylish.
Richa Chadha
Richa Chadha’s maternity photoshoot stood out for its raw and intimate feel. The actress embraced monochrome aesthetics and proudly showed off her baby bump in a deeply personal photoshoot.
One memorable picture featured Richa sitting comfortably on her home sofa in the arms of her husband, Ali Fazal. Wearing a partially unbuttoned white shirt, the couple lovingly cradled the baby bump.
But the real star of the picture turned out to be their cat, Kamli, who adorably photobombed the heartfelt moment.
Anushka Sharma
Anushka Sharma, who welcomed her second child in February 2024, kept her second pregnancy private and did not officially announce it beforehand. However, during her first pregnancy, the actress posed for a stunning maternity shoot with Vogue that remains unforgettable.
Known for her chic and classy fashion sense, Anushka delivered some breathtaking looks during the shoot. In one frame, she confidently flaunted her baby bump in a black swimsuit.
For another standout look, the actress transformed into a powerful boss-lady figure in a trench coat paired with a bikini top and linen pants.
Neha Dhupia
Neha Dhupia announced her second pregnancy with a heartwarming family photoshoot featuring her husband, Angad Bedi, and daughter Mehr. Dressed in coordinated black outfits, the family looked picture-perfect together.
Later, Neha also posed for a digital magazine cover shoot where she proudly showcased her baby bump in a series of stunning neutral-toned outfits.
One of her standout looks featured an earthy-toned figure-hugging sleeveless dress, while another included a sheer gown layered over a bralette and shorts. The actress effortlessly blended elegance with modern maternity fashion.
