Oscars 2015: What Celebrity Moms Wore on the Red Carpet (PHOTOS)

Posted on February 23, 2015

In addition to the celeb moms we’ve covered in the past who were nominated last night (Reese Witherspoon, Marion Cottilard, Keira Knightley, and Sienna Miller) and those new moms (Scarlett Johansson and Zoe Saldana), we also saw some uber wow-worthy dresses and looks from our other Bellyitch bumpwatch alums at the 87th Annual Academy Awards which took place at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, California last night.

Blush dresses were trending and Jennifer Lopez looked stunning as usual in a Cinderella-style Elli Saab dress with a cute little Salvatore Ferragamo clutch. Love the all neutral look. Simple and elegant.

This has got to be my all time fave look on Kerry Washington ever. This embroidered Miu Miu blush tone peplum dress was a stand out last night. She accented the look with Fred Leigton jewels, jeweled Christian Louboutin pumps and a Miu Miu box clutch.

I thought Jenna Dewan-Tatum too stood out in all white Zuhair Murad Couture gown, accessorized with diamonds and a Lee Savage clutch. Love how the pop of red lip made this look stand out. So graceful.

It was a safe yet another knockout look from Jennifer Hudson who dazzled in a Romona Keveza and Jimmy Choo sandals. I loved the Oscar winner’s make up too. She slayed!

Anna Farris looked angelic in this shimmery Zuhair Murad Couture dress paired with Jimmy Choo sandals, a Judith Leiber clutch and Lorraine Schwartz jewels.

Georgina Chapman looked stunning in a black with embroidered floral Marchesa dress of course.

Not a mom but my fave for the night was Samurai Girl actress Jamie Chung in an absolutely gorgeous Yanina Couture gown. Love it!

Jane Fonda wowed for a woman in her late 70’s in this Zuhair Murad Couture sheer jumper with Niwaka jewels. Amazing a woman of her maturity can pull off such a hawt look. Me love it!

Oscars 2015: Celebrity moms nominated for awards

Posted on February 23, 2015

Good luck to all the lovely celebrity women we’ve spotlighted and “bumpwatched” in the past who are up for awards tonight at the Academy Awards held this year at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, California. All their hard work may pay off with recognition of the highest order.

And since we didn’t get a spot on this year’s red carpet, we couldn’t ask them more as Reese would like so we’re just gonna put down here where they were wearing anyway! ha!

Best Actress nominee for Two Days, One Night, Marion Cotillard dazzled in a white sleeveless Christian Dior Spring 2015 gown. It lacked shape but worked.

Mom-to-be Keira Knightley (nominated for Best Supporting Actress for The Imitation Game) went bold in a beautiful flowy custom Valentino couture gown and Reese Witherspoon (nominated for Best Actress for Wild) was a favorite in an off the shoulder white with black accented Tom Ford dress with jewels by Tiffany & Co. Finally, Sienna Miller, whose film The American Sniper is up for Best Picture looked stunning as usual in a gorge Oscar de la Renta gown.

Good luck, ladies!

Posted on January 20, 2015

Congratulations to the reigning, but retired, Australian Open champion Li Na who announced to a crowd of 15,000 in Melbourne, Australian yesterday that she is expecting her first child. During a ceremony to commemorate the launch of a tournament at the Rod Laver Arena, Li announced, “[Husband and coach] Dennis [Jiang] and I are so excited. Our first child will arrive in the summer,” Li told the crowd to raucous applause and cheers. It was right before Roger Federer played a night match.Shortly after wining her first Australian Open last year, the Chinese Tennis star retired. Previously, she had won the 2011 French Open and was a finalist in Australia in 2011 and 2013.

After the ceremony, Li posted a super sweet message on Facebook to her fans. We’ve covered tennis champs Roger Federer, Kim Clijsters and Lindsay Davenport before and are pleased to welcome Li to bumpwatch!

I watched Na play at the US Open last year. I was rooting for her to win back in 2011 when she played the Australian Open so long a fan. What a power player and soon to be a power mom!

Winter Maternity Fashion Tips: 25 Blogs to check out today!

Posted on December 14, 2014

Bellyitch Rewind

Being pregnant is an exciting time. Visions of nurseries dance in

your head and it’s likely that you find yourself consumed with shopping

for onesies, stuffed animals and the perfect blanket to wrap around your

bundle of joy. You also have probably noticed that, in addition to all

of the things your baby needs, you need a new wardrobe to fit your

expanding belly as well. These days, designers have the most stylish

looks in maternity wear. You can buy things for work that allow you to

look professional and still be comfortable or for the weekend when you

are kicking back and enjoying life. And for that fabulous party you

have coming up, there are plenty of party dresses too. Combine those

with comfy sleepwear and workout wear and you have yourself a whole new

wardrobe, and what’s more fun than buying brand new clothes? You want

to look fantastic while you are pregnant right? Check out these 25

fabulous fashion blogs that will send you in the right direction.

Work Wear

Sometimes it can be tough to get yourself out of bed, especially as

your body grows and changes with the baby, but keep in mind that when

you look good you feel good. Look for clothing items that will grow

with you. These five blog entries will show you what’s in style for

maternity work wear.

Weekend Wear

Step out in style as you enjoy life before baby. You’ll need a great

pair of jeans and some comfy sweaters. Tights and leggings are also a

way to stretch your existing wardrobe. Throw on some maternity leggings,

a long sweater and some boots and you are ready to go anywhere and

still be in style. Take a look at these five blog posts regarding fun

and functional weekend wear.

Party Wear

You may be pregnant, but that doesn’t mean you don’t still have

places to go and people to see. What if you have a wedding to attend or

a business dinner on the calendar? These blog posts will give fashion

ideas for dresses you can wear to all different types of events, from a

party to the opera. Think haute couture is out of your reach when

you’re pregnant? Think again!

Sleepwear

Sleeping can be difficult while you are pregnant. You can’t seem to

get comfortable and your favorite position to sleep in doesn’t really

work right now. With all of those sleeping hurdles you don’t want to

have sleepwear that is uncomfortable too. Check out these five blog

posts with comfy sleepwear options.

Workout Wear

Doctors recommend that pregnant women continue to work out if they

previously followed a workout regimen. Fortunately, many athletic pants

and tops are stretchy and will allow you a little time before you need

to change anything. But once you get past the middle of your second

trimester you may not want tight clothes on your tummy. These five blog

posts have included some maternity workout clothes so that you can stay

healthy for the baby and for you.

What Nick Cannon tells twins Roe and Roc about fighting the flu (VIDEO INTERVIEW)

Posted on October 10, 2014

“Don’t touch your face with your hands” is the lesson

celebrity dad Nick Cannon instills

in his twins, Monroe and Moroccan when they’re out and about, jet setting

across country and meeting many people along the way.

One day after his birthday, the actor, TV host and producer

shared with us some of his tried and true tips and suggestions for protecting

himself and his children from the flu.

Each year, close to 20% of the nation contract the flu and of

those 200,000 have to be hospitalized for flu-related complications each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Cannon said he feels it’s important to use his celebrity

status “to shine light on the things that really matter and it gives me

opportunity to do interesting partnerships like the one I have now with the

makers of Theraflu to spread

awareness this flu season to really get everyone ‘flu ready’.”

That was the comedian

and TV producer’s reason for teaming up with the makers of Theraflu to promote

its Fluprint campaign.

“Health and wellness is on everyone’s mind and it is Flu

season and being a father of two young kids that travel a lot, and myself

always on the go, you want to make sure, just in my own personal house to make sure

everyone in my household stays healthy, and getting their vaccinations,” said Cannon,

who is married to our Bellyitch

Bumpwatch alum Mariah Carey.

Clearly not one of those celebrity parents who is also an Anti-Vaxxer, Cannon says though he’s

not a medical expert, but knows “there’s a lot of misconception about

vaccinations.”

It’s not like the man who was diagnosed with lupus nephritis in 2012 can afford to

be too exposed.

It’s “an autoimmune condition so my immune system is extra

sensitive,“ the School Dance executive producer shared.

“I follow the same steps of the Flu print, those 5 easy steps, you know 1,

making sure I do have the vaccinations, and then from there preparing and being

proactive, hand sanitizers, and keeping myself in the most healthy environment

as possible and then if I do come down with something making sure I treat it

properly the best way I can with things like Theraflu.”

And with this campaign, anyone can help families without

health insurance and in impoverished areas get critical flu vaccines.

For every like on the Theraflu Facebook page, its

makers will donate $1 up to $100,000 to the national Families Fighting Flu

charity. It’s that simple and not a hoax; and an easy way to give back.

The comedian and writer is a frequent feature on the blog,

and was in the news lately over his large crucifix back tattoo.

After pointing out the new ink, we asked the Drumline alum, who grew up with a televangelist dad,

how he suggests parents protect themselves from viruses in houses of worship,

where often times hand shaking and drinking from one communion cups is part of Sunday ritual.

“That’s a good question,” says Cannon, who recently signed

a deal to pen a children’s poetry series. “It’s more about just being a

public in general, whatever your place of worship is, wherever you go with your family, whether a church

or movie theater, where people feel like they’ll be fellowshipping and touching.

“I encourage my kids to refrain from touching their face

with their hands because that’s often times how you’re going to spread germs,” Cannon

advises. “You are going to shake people’s hands. You can’t avoid that. You are

going to touch things other people have touched. “

There you have it, folks! Stay clear of your face and make

sure your kids do too.
