Demi Moore To Bipasha Basu: The Evolution Of Pregnancy Photoshoots

Demi Moore posed naked while holding her growing baby bump for a Vanity Fair in 1991, sparking an international controversy. Some praised photographer Annie Leibovitz for making a strong artistic statement, while others deemed the photo disgusting. The Hollywood star's nude image of her clutching her heavily pregnant belly was disruptive and pathbreaking for the time, when expectant mothers were still told to cover their baby bulge with layers, smock tops, ruffles, and other accessories. The cover photo has had a long-lasting effect on pop culture. Since then numerous celebrities have posed similarly while pregnant. Pregnancy images are now in-style thanks to the OG duo Moore and Leibovitz. The photograph is one of the most highly regarded magazine covers of all time, and it is one of Leibovitz's more popular works.

Maternity photography has taken off in India two decades after that cover. 'Pregnancy reveal' is a much bigger deal now with stars like Beyoncé, Gigi Hadid, and Kim Kardashian continuously setting the standards high. And not only among celebrities, even regular Joes announce their pregnancy with photoshoots. Professional makeup artists, technologically advanced backdrops, and expensive clothing are all shoot necessities. But of course few in India dare to bare it all like Moore. Let's take a look at some celeb pregnancy photos that created a stir.
