Meghan Markle [1] has looked pretty impeccable throughout her pregnancy [2], and people have taken note. In a recent video interview for Vogue, Editor in Chief Anna Wintour referenced the Duchess of Sussex while answering a question on the topic of maternity dressing. "I've been very taken by the way Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been dressing throughout her pregnancy," she said. "Her heels actually seem to be getting taller [3] every time I look at a picture of her."
Anna went on to explain that one's personal style doesn't need to change during pregnancy. She said, "I never understand why women suddenly decide they want to hide their pregnancy. Why not celebrate it? It's an incredibly joyful time in a woman's life, and it's nothing to be hidden or be ashamed of. Much better to, in a way, flaunt it."
