Since announcing her pregnancy in early May, all eyes have been on Shanina Shaik as she brings her style A-game to the maternity sphere. This month, the supermodel of Saudi heritage is fronting Vogue Arabia’s June 2022 issue, cradling her baby bump in a series of looks for the cover shoot that speaks to her chic pregnancy style.

While she sported sheer white tops for her minimalistic maternity shoot, it took the model no time to swap them for glamorous ensembles come Cannes Film Festival. For her “baby’s first red carpet” at the premiere of Elvis, Shaik championed her roots by wearing a stunning couture gown by Saudi designer Eman AlAjlan. The black off-shoulder piece came with lace gloves and a silk top while the rest of the piece hugged her bump before flowing into a floor-grazing trail. Dazzling bracelets, rings, and a choker by Messika completed her look. At the amfAR Gala, her second appearance during the festival, Shaik once again chose to wear black, but this time, in the form of a pared-back vintage piece. The model embraced a timeless aesthetic in a bias-cut gown by Alexander McQueen from Tabi Vintage, which featured long sleeves and a plunging neckline.

Off duty, Shaik is making the most out of her summer pregnancy in equally breezy and stylish outfits. Spotted on her Instagram are a couple of animal print pieces, such as her poolside look with a zebra print bikini top and sarong skirt, and a mini leopard print dress by Roberto Cavalli. The cover star was also snapped out and about in Los Angeles in a neutral ensemble which included a white bodysuit tucked into off-white trousers, topped with an oversized brown blazer, and paired with snake print flats.
