“Black and Bewitching” for Valerie Concepcion’s Maternity Shoot
TV Host and soon-to-be mom of 2 Valerie Concepcion switches it up with a black and bewitching maternity shoot.
Most maternity shoots involve flowers and warm pastel colors because babies are all about the soothing and loving feeling — but that doesn’t mean there’s no room to change it up into something more sleek and classy like how TV Host Valerie Concepcion did. She celebrates the home stretch of her pregnancy journey with a maternity shoot in a long-sleeved black bodycon dress that had a deep square neckline with cut-outs to display her back and growing belly. It’s also in her Instagram post that she shares there are only 10 weeks left before their son arrives!
“Entering the homestretch of this beautiful journey as we eagerly await our little one’s arrival in just 10 short weeks!” she cheers.

Enjoying the sleek look black gives
Every mom we’ve come across will always have one side of their wardrobe filled with a variety of black clothes in various cuts and cloths. Depending on the mood, some of us would like velvet for our more formal engagements. But others might like cotton-based jersey fabric for a more relaxed look especially since it’s highly elastic and a common material in most casual fashionwear. As for us, we love black because it gives us a more slimming look while emphasizing our curves.
Besides the sleekness that the color black provides, we love how it gives a classy and more solemn approach compared to the whimsical and mystical rose and all its gradients. We still love flowers but when pregnancy has our sense of smell heightened to levels that will make us nauseous, we’ll have to do away with the fluffy flora for now and go for something more zen, neutral, and modern. Like blacks, whites, and browns!
Maybe even a bit of gold or silver just to add that extra shimmer and make that pregnancy glow pop out of the photo. In Valerie Concepcion’s maternity shoot, she didn’t need the jewelry since her classy messy updo with tendrils was all the accessory she needed.

During the maternity shoot, Valerie designed a white-based one as well.
Styling a maternity shoot that fits your personality
Based on Valerie Concepcion’s Instagram, she does love the flexibility of her black clothes. She’s worn a few black casual dresses. These include one to her trip to Universal Studios, Japan, and even in her daughter, Heather’s, debut. But she also stayed true to her usual fashion style. She worked with her favored style of body-con dresses that elevated even her simple maternity shoot. Note to ourselves — if ever we have an impromptu photo shoot or an urge to have one, make sure we know what color fits our personality best!
Valerie Concepcion is also BEAR-y happy to announce that she and her husband Francis Sunga are expecting a baby boy!
