The 16 Best Pregnant Halloween Costumes

Beyoncé’s VMAs pregnancy announcement was such an iconic moment in pop culture history. Bring back some of that nostalgia this Halloween and re-create the moment with your own bump.

A pun like this one is hard to beat. So lean into the corniness with the Bun in the Oven Costume ($28) that doubles as the perfect pregnancy announcement.

You’ll want to opt for glowy makeup too in order to pull the whole look together.

Sometimes the laziest costumes are the best and funniest ones. This Tomato Sauce Jar Costume ($12) is guaranteed to make everyone at the Halloween party smile and laugh.

If you’ve always found yourself to be more of a Charlotte than a Carrie, embrace your inner Charlotte this Halloween by re-creating one of her maternity looks from “Sex and the City.” For this one in particular, all you need are a polka-dot dress, a pink trench coat, and some generously stuffed shopping bags.
