13 Supermodel Moms Who Rule the Runway 

Before fashion, and the world, pushed the pause button, 2020 was proving to be a comeback year for moms on the runway. In Paris, Virgil Abloh cast two generations of Hadids at Off-White, and many of Marine Serre’s models walked in her show with their children.

Some innovative designers, like Nicolas Ghesquière and Karl Lagerfeld, have designed maternity-friendly looks for the expecting models in their shows. Ashleigh Good was seven months pregnant when she closed Lagerfeld’s fall 2014 Chanel couture show in an unforgettable white and gold gown. (It was later featured in the Costume Institute’s 2016 “Manus x Machina” exhibition). Just three months before her due date, Miranda Kerr was in Balenciaga’s spring 2011 lineup sporting one of Ghesquière’s chic houndstooth mini-dresses. More often than not, however, models have to put their modeling careers on hold to have children; many find it hard to restart after taking a season or two off. But thanks to fearless model moms like Kerr, Good, and many others, the industry is starting to embrace the beauty of the female body at all stages of life.

As we celebrate our mothers and all that they do for us this weekend, it’s only fitting to shine a spotlight on supermodels who are also superheroes at home.
