Rihanna may not be in attendance at the 2023 Brit Awards, but her maternity style has clearly left quite a legacy. Who could forget her iconic pregnancy announcement, which saw her stroll through a snowing New York street with her baby bump visible under a Chanel puffer coat? Queen Ri rewrote the rule book of pregnancy fashion, which typically revolves around “bump skimming” and “easy-to-wear” pieces, and embraced her growing body in all its glory.
TBH, we’re still not over it. And thankfully, neither is the rest of celeb-dom. On February 11, stars took to this year’s Brit Awards red carpet with three bump-baring looks from Jessie J, Kamille, and Montana Brown.
If you weren’t already on board with the Jessie J–naissance, that’s about to change. The iconic musician just walked the Brit Awards red carpet for the first time in 10 years, and let’s just say she owned it. Jessie wore a crimson lace bodysuit with a cutout for her glorious baby bump. In an Instagram video posted earlier today, she confirmed the sex of her baby, singing a song with the lyrics, “Something’s happening that I’ve been waiting for. I feel its weight, falling to the floor.”
In the accompanying caption, she wrote, “Since I wrote this song every time I play it or sing it he moves like crazy… so I think this song is the one.” She then added, “Oh yeah…I’m having a boy.”
In November 2021, Jessie J bravely spoke up about experiencing a miscarriage. Appearing on The Diary of a CEO With Steven Bartlett podcast, she described the “intense sadness and grief” of baby loss. “It’s all I’ve ever wanted and life is short,” she said of trying to have a baby on her own. “To get pregnant was a miracle in itself and an experience I will never forget and I know I will have again.”
Over a year later Jessie J announced she was pregnant with an emotional video featuring a series of baby-bump photos on January 7.

But she wasn’t the only A-lister rocking a bump-baring ’fit on the Brit Awards red carpet. Kamille also ensured her baby bump was the pièce de résistance of her look, wearing a hooded turquoise gown with fitted gloves and, of course, a bump-size cutout.
The Grammy winner posted the look to Instagram, captioning it, “❤️ BRITS 2023 ❤️ styling @toniblaze, glam (me), vibes (bump).” You can take a look here:
Next up, Montana Brown took to the red carpet wearing a sleek wraparound dress by Lurelly with a curved cutout for her bump.
