Skye Hoppus, founder of Childish Clothing and author of Rock Star Momma: The Hip Guide to Looking Gorgeous Through all Nine Months and Beyond, recently talked to The Miami Herald about how to look like a sexy mom-to-be throughout the holiday season. “I say you gotta go all out. From head to toe, put yourself out there. You’ll feel better walking out the door.”

Skye, who gets rock-star credibility for being married to Mark Hoppus of Blink 182, gave these holiday tips:

Dress: A-line silhouettes are always dependable. Moreover, a loose maternity gown can make you look bigger than you already are.

Colors: Though jewel tones are popular and work well for the holidays, black is always safe. Keep support hose also dark.

Shoes: If you feel OK wearing a high heel, it’ll give you more of a sexy look, but you just have to know your comfort level. If you can’t stomach stilettos the whole night, wear them just to greet guests and swap ‘em out later for lightweight metallic flats.

Beauty: By all means, get your nails done. Use polishes free of toluene, a toxic solvent; health food stores carry safer ones.
