Missing your daily dose of washboard abs on your Instagram feed? After whispers of speculation, the reigning queen of “the dog walk is my catwalk” style confirmed the rumours: Emily Ratajkowski is expecting her first child with her husband Sebastian Bear-McClard.

Naturally, she swerved a splashy announcement with a stylish alternative to the “baby reveal” bump snap that social media users have come to recognise as custom. Indeed, the choice was made easy by her friend Lena Dunham, who directed a short film for US Vogue depicting Ratajkowski snuggling up with her dog Colombo and caressing her newly burgeoning belly.

The model and activist, who is working on a book of essays titled My Body, which will be released in 2022, also published an essay to accompany the video. In it, she mused on her unborn child’s gender, writing that she hopes she can be a parent “who allows my child to show themself to me” and that she is learning to let go of any false notions of control in her pregnancy.

What she won’t be letting go of, though? Her shamelessly sexy approach to getting dressed. In recent weeks she has shelved the midriff-flossing in favour of tailored blazers and roomy trousers, but without compromising on her signature magnetism. Get ready for a masterclass in pregnancy style.
