Add another name to the list of pregnant celebrities who embrace maxi dresses as maternity wear: Halle Berry, reportedly around five months pregnant with her second child.

Rocking a slightly grown-out short hairdo, oversized sunglasses, brown t-straps, and a tote bag for furniture shopping, Halle was comfortable and on-trend in a striped maxi dress.
Wearing stripes can be challenging, but Halle managed it effortlessly, even with a growing baby bump. She cleverly opted for a multidirectional striped pattern, which avoids drawing the eye strictly horizontally or vertically—a smart strategy for those who feel stripes are risky.

Halle Berry’s Heartloom “Olivia” dress has a cute chainlike design on the stripes, but just plain ol’ stripes are enough to get her easy-wearing look. We found three maxi dresses that sport the same multidirectional pattern.
We previously featured dresses with “confusing” stripes like these. Though those dresses are most likely all sold out now, it’s nice to see that stripes don’t have to go up and down or left and right.
We all have that one bag we rely on in the best and worst times. You know, that one outstanding purse that can redeem a bad outfit, fit all your essentials, and leave you with a generally good feeling when you carry it.

We’ve noticed that Halle Berry’s go-to bags are large totes. The 46-year-old mom requires her day bags to have roomy interiors to fit all necessities.
She was seen toting around the Foley + Corinna ‘Mid City’ tote — a great choice that delivers style and space.

This versatile tote comes in a variety of colorways and renditions. The ‘FC Lady’ tote is another version with the same silhouette but is sized down for easier handling and added with simple studs.
