Pregnant celebs on magazine covers

Check out how these 11 pregnant celebs posed for the shutterbugs with ease

Pregnancy glam

What's alluring than a pregnant celeb? All the more when she bares it all on a glossy paper with that beautiful bump. Lustrous mane, flawless skin and that sexy baby bump. Yes, doesn't it sound gorgeous?

We bring to you some stars who bared it all on magazine covers for us to see how pretty pregnancy can be.

Konkona Sen Sharma on the cover of OK!India

She is the only Bollywood star to have showed off her naked bump on a magazine cover. The dusky lass appeared on the cover of OK! India magazine for its April 2011 issue. Close on heels was Tara Sharma, who posed for the shutterbugs with her bare bump.

Mariah Carey on the covers of Life & Style and OK!

The American singer celebrated her 'twin bump' with ease. Mariah Carey posed naked not just for the cover of OK! in April 2011, but she also let the readers of Life & Style get a peek-a-boo into her pregnancy in the same month. While the former cover had husband Nick Cannon shielding her, in the latter, her lustrous mane did the job.

“I was feeling very vulnerable about taking pictures at all, but then I didn’t want to miss this opportunity to document this once-in-a-lifetime experience,” she said during an interview.

Miranda Kerr on Vogue

When she was six-and-a-half month pregnant, the Australian supermodel chose her native Vogue cover to showcase the growing bump. "It's been a great experience, modelling whilst pregnant, because I'm really proud of my belly - and I'm really happy about this moment in my life. I feel extremely blessed. It's wonderful that I have this opportunity to do this photo shoot with Australian Vogue and record this wonderful moment in time," Kerr said in 2010.

Padma Lakshmi on Page Six

Her's was a 'miracle pregnancy' as she kept mum about the identity of the baby's father throughout the nine months. However, the Top Chef presenter was seen covering her front body with her knees while baring her right shoulder on the cover of America's Page Six magazine in 2009.

"One of the reasons I think I've gained weight pretty quickly during my pregnancy is that I'm not exercising as much as I do normally... I can't. I'm feeling tired, and I have this business to run," said the cookbook author, jewelry designer and actress in the interview to the magazine, at the time of her pregnancy.

Britney Spears on Harper's Bazaar & Q

During her second pregnancy in 2005, pop sensation Britney Spears posed naked for the covers of two magazines. While for Harper's Bazaar, she stripped down to wearing nothing but a necklace, for Q, it was covering up with bare essentials.

Brooke Shields on Vogue

In 2003, Brooke Shields posed in a familiar Demi Moore demeanour. The only addition? Some water thrown over her, making her sheer attire cling to the bump, beautifully.

Demi Moore on Vanity Fair

This one is iconic, literally. Known to kickstart the 'pregnant and naked' business in 1991, Demi Moore posed for Vanity Fair when she was 28. With just a handbra on, Moore allured with her heavily pregnant belly. And what followed was totally expected. The cover became a controversy, with some stores even refusing to stock the issue.

Monica Bellucci on Vanity Fair

The magazine yet again emulated Demi Moore with the Reloaded star, who bared her baby bump for the second time for a cover.

Six-month pregnant Monica Bellucci told the magazine, "Women who have children late like me are always told how brave they are and it's true that the older you are the more risks you run, both for the child and yourself. But I don't feel brave I just feel very lucky. I already have a healthy daughter who I gave birth to in Umbria (Italian region) like an ordinary farm wife."

Cindy Crawford on the cover of W

For W's June issue in 1999, supermodel Cindy Crawford went nude with her baby bump. The magazine called her the 'naked angel' as she looked impeccably fit and strong.

Christina Aguilera on Marie Claire and V

Though singer Christina Aguilera kept her pregnancy quite private, she revealed her bump for the January issue of Marie Claire in 2008. This was followed by a full monty for V magazine in 2014 during her second pregnancy.

"As a woman, I'm proud to embrace my body through all stages of life, staying fearless and confident in surrendering to the unknown the future has in store," she said in an interview to V.
