In a world where beauty pageants used to be all about superficial parameters and nonsensical beauty standards, we’re glad that the industry is evolving. From introducing size inclusivity on the ramp to giving models their space to thrive, we’re living for the new era of fashion. What took the cake for me was when Mrs India 2023 recently introduced its first-ever pregnant model. But did you know about the first Bollywood actress who started the trend of flaunting a baby bump on the ramp? Scroll down to know:
Who Won The World? Girls
Over the past years, we’ve seen a lot of Bollywood moms-to-be walking the ramp while flaunting their baby bumps. But the one who set this trend was the one and only *drumrolls please* Malaika Arora! Back in 2002, the Dil Se actress became an inspiration to millions of mommies as she turned showstopper at the Lakme Fashion Week. Malaika took our breaths away as she walked the ramp in a cutout mauve-grey body-hugging gown, flaunting her tiny baby bump. Her 3-months pregnancy glow and a million-dollar smile is what many hearts skip a beat. Have a look at the gorgeous pictures:
After Mala graced the ramp during her pregnancy, a lot of celebs followed her footprints and left their fans stunned by flaunting their baby bumps on fashion runways. The list includes Kareena Kapoor Khan, Lara Dutta, Lisa Haydon, Neha Dhupia, and many more. Take a look at some of the iconic looks of all time:
