Its wedding season and Alicia Keys proved that you can be pregnant and still look stylish and beautiful in your wedding dress. This past Saturday Keys, who is in her last trimester, said “I do” to music producer, Swizz Beatz. So often women shy away from walking down the aisle when they’re pregnant because of how they think they’re going to look in their dress. Keys looked like an Egyptian Goddess in her Vera Wang gown, head piece and Christian Louboutin shoes. The 29 year old songstress and husband, whose real name is Kasseem Dean (31), had a small intimate wedding with their close family and friends in southern Corsica Piantarella, located in Italy. The wedding may have been small but there were some really big names in attendance such as Bono, Tommy Hilfiger and Queen Latifah. Soon-to-be mother Alicia Keys is now stepmother to two sons and one daughter.
All summer Keys has shown the world how to be fabulous and pregnant at the same time. Her looks have ranged from rompers to mini dresses. Bye bye 80′s mom hello fabulous! Of course you want to be comfortable while you’re pregnant but gone are the days where you have to wear mom jeans and oversized shirts. Women are embracing their baby bump and looking like hot mama’s while doing so!

Love Alicia in this one shoulder, Grecian inspired Vera Wang! So gorgeous I love that she didn’t wear a veil – the diamond headpiece is a glamorous touch!
i really like this article. though i think what they (akeys and swizz) are doing is somewhat scandalous, the article highlights the wonderful fashion and angelic way alicia looked at her wedding. great job!
Great article by Ta’Keisha V. Ryan. I love her writing style. It is like we are having a conversation. She gives me all details I need, so clear. She is a great writer. I love her fashion sense. I look forward to hearing more from Ta’Keisha

Excellent Article Ta’Keisha! Congratulations to the new couple! I can’t wait to read what you have to say on Cullen’s Corner Thursday!!!
What a great article, I cant wait to read another one by you. Congrats to Mr & Mrs Swizz Beatz!!!
I totally agree Ta’Keisha, pregnant women of today are embracing themselves and stepping out of the box when it comes to fashion and Alicia Keys is definitely showing us how it’s done! I was also fab and pregnant back in the day, lol! You can still look good and keep yourself up when you’re expecting, and you definitely don’t have to wear baggy sweats and t-shirts all the time
Oh and yes congrats to the couple, they look great together!
Thanks for the comments all.
Alicia Keys looked stunning on her wedding day! Christy I looove that wedding dress, it’s fabulous.
Kristie, so many women exchange their fabulousity for overalls and cover up during their 9 months of pregnancy. Those days are behind us. I love seeing pregnant women in heels. I don’t know why but it’s just says something about their level of fly.
She looks Mythical.
Fantastic article! I love your writing style! Keep it up!
