10 Celebrities Who Make Motherhood Look Beautiful

It’s no secret that motherhood isn’t always glamorous, and it can be incredibly tough at times. With the rise of relatable motherhood content from Millennials over the past several years online, it can even be difficult nowadays for aspiring moms to see all of the positives and the joys that this new season can bring. Celebrities are often among those sharing their "real and raw moments", whether hunched over the toilet from morning sickness, displaying the spit-up on their stained t-shirts, or wearing diapers postpartum.

That's why it feels like a breath of fresh air when a beautiful, successful celebrity that countless Millennial and Gen Z women look up to choose to highlight the positives of motherhood (and look incredibly cool while doing it).

So, who's giving a glow-up to motherhood in pop-culture these days? Let's take a look.

Sofia Richie Grainge 

Freshly 26 years old, Sofia is a new mother to baby Eloise Grainge. After her jaw-dropping wedding in the South of France, she became an it girl of both Gen Z and millennials. From her lavender nails to her quiet luxury style, she began making waves in the culture. Less than a year after her wedding, she announced her pregnancy with a gorgeous spread in Vogue. She shared that she and her husband, Elliott, began casually trying to get pregnant shortly after their wedding. Sofia chronicled some of her stylish maternity outfits and pregnancy essentials on her TikTok. After welcoming Eloise to the world, she hosted a beautiful brunch in her backyard that was “Eloise at the Plaza” themed. She has since shared some sweet photos of mom and baby, sharing her love for motherhood thus far. 

Hailey Bieber 

I have long loved Hailey Bieber. Well, first, I was a middle schooler with a Justin Bieber phone case. Then, I fell in love with Hailey. From her Palmetto Bluff wedding to the launch of her Rhode skincare line, she has successfully stayed on the radar. Early on in their marriage, Justin and Hailey expressed their desire to start a family young. However, getting married in their early twenties gave them a bit of time to enjoy being a young married couple and still pursue their young family goal. A little over four years after tying the knot, the Biebers shared beautiful photos with Hailey in a fitted white lace gown showing off her baby bump. On August 23, 2024, Hailey and Justin welcomed Jack Blues to the world.

Nara Smith 

Model and TikTok star Nara Smith has become widely known through her marriage to model Lucky Blue Smith, and most notably, her cooking videos on TikTok. Lucky has one child, Gravity, from his previous relationship with model Stormi Bree. Nara and Lucky share three children: Rumble, Slim, and Whimsy. Nara is famous for limiting processed food in her diet by making aesthetic and scrumptious foods from scratch. From homemade cereal to gummies to hamburger buns, she is certainly an admirable chef. Not only does she impress in the kitchen, but she does so while mothering her four children and looking incredibly stylish in designer clothes. At only 23 years old, she is a mother, a wife, an influencer, and a model. She shows her audience that life with kids can still be romantic amidst the challenges. 

Kourtney Kardashian-Barker 

Kourtney Kardashian-Barker is just “living life” as a mother. Through their blended family, Kourtney and Travis Barker share seven children. Kourtney had three children with her former boyfriend, Scott Disick. Travis shares Landon, Alabama, and step-daughter Atiana with his ex-wife Shana Moakler. In November 2023, Kourtney and Travis’ son Rocky Barker was born. 

On Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kourtney typically prioritized motherhood and family over career aspirations. Her family often criticized her for not wanting to work or for being "lazy". On Amanda Hirsch’s podcast Not Skinny But Not Fat, Kourtney said, “Is being a mother not enough?” Similarly, on a recent episode of The Skinny Confidential podcast with Lauryn and Michael Bosstick, Kourtney shared that while she now runs her supplement company, Lemme, she still considers herself a stay-at-home mom. She is able to work from home and be there for her family when they need her. Coming off the boss babe era, I find Kourtney’s disposition refreshing. Being a mother is selfless work, and women typically do not receive many accolades for their sacrifices or dedication. Nonetheless, Kourtney believes it is worth it. 

Hilary Duff

Hilary Duff is the queen of home births. She has a son, Luca, from her previous marriage to Mike Comrie, and has three more children, Banks, Mae, and Townes, with her husband Matthew Koma. Hilary has appeared on the Informed Pregnancy podcast numerous times sharing her pregnancy and home birth experiences with her three youngest children. Under the supervision of her midwife, Hilary had three successful water births at home. She also shares the chaos and beauty of motherhood on her social media platforms. 

Blake Lively

Among many other reasons, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are famous for their publicly loving, romantic marriage. Constantly joking with each other online and complimenting each other as spouses and parents, they present marriage in a positive light. Blake and Ryan share four children: James, Inez, Betty and Olin. They keep their kids out of the public eye, in hopes of giving them privacy and maintaining some semblance of a normal childhood. Blake always wears pregnancy beautifully, often sporting her bump on red carpets. She is known for sharing the less glamorous side of motherhood, while also expressing her deep gratitude for how grounding an experience motherhood is. 

Romee Strijd

Romee Strijd, a former Victoria's Secret model, is a mom to two girls: Mint and June. Her story is relatable to many moms out there who struggled to get pregnant. She suffered from PCOS and tried to conceive for two years. Romee surmises the years of stress, dieting, and being underweight as a model had a negative impact on her health and fertility. Now, she shares snippets from her beautiful life with her daughters and her husband. It's encouraging to see someone who had all the glamor and notoriety that the world could offer, and yet she still longed deeply for motherhood. 

Rihanna

A pop star icon famous for performing at the Super Bowl while pregnant, Rihanna is a beautiful mom to admire. She has two children with her partner ASAP Rocky. And even though she is majorly successful as a musician and as a business mogul, Rihanna shares universal traits with other mothers: She loves hand-me-downs for her sons. She put her love of high fashion to the side for comfort and simplicity as a new mom while still placing an importance on looking put-together. And she struggled with some of her body’s changes that came with pregnancy. 

Sadie Robertson Huff

Famous for her role in the reality show Duck Dynasty, Sadie Robertson was America’s sweetheart and is now a pillar in Christian ministry. Sadie and her husband, Christian Huff, welcomed their daughter Honey less than two years into their marriage, and not too long after, they welcomed their daughter Haven. Sadie shares snippets of her life as a mother on Instagram and on her podcast. She shares the highs, the lows, and the way motherhood refines her faith, portraying motherhood and family life in a positive light for the young women who follow her.  

Candace Cameron Bure 

You may know her as DJ Tanner from Full House – she is Candace Cameron Bure. Candace is known for her prioritization of family life. She has shared publicly how she essentially left Hollywood when she had her first child so she could be in the home and pour the majority of her energy into her children. She started acting in her early teens, so by the time she started her family in her twenties, she was ready to step away. One of Candace’s philosophies is that women’s lives happen in seasons. There are seasons for career aspirations, and there are seasons to focus on family. When her children got older, she famously started acting again on the Hallmark Channel.
