Is This Ridiculously Glamorous Schiaparelli Dress the Ultimate in Maternity Couture?

Yesterday in Paris at the Schiaparelli couture show, Erin O’Connor wore a fuchsia four-tiered confection. It was XXL. It was massive. Each layer looked like a hot pink ring of Saturn. It appeared as if the runway veteran could have been keeping something under there. Maybe another voluminous dress? A dozen purses? Turns out, a 40-year-old O’Connor joined the list of models walking while pregnant and was boasting a baby bump. Her runway footwear read both devil-may-care and maternity-friendly, too. While the rest of the models wore heels or cowboy boots, O’Connor announced on her Instagram that she sported none other than a pair of Converse.

This hasn't been O’Connor’s first baby bump moment. (She is eight months pregnant.) For the past several weeks, she has been showing off her growing stomach—quite chicly!—in an array of looks, such as in an Erdem dress while hanging about in London or in velvet black gown by The Vampire’s Wife to the British Fashion Awards. In other words, we have a feeling that this baby will come into this world loving fashion, just like its mother.
