Shay Mitchell was able to keep her pregnancy a secret for nearly six months, announcing the news that she was expecting her first child, with boyfriend Matte Babel, on June 28. But ever since she made it public, she's been sharing (and batting down trolls)—all the while crushing the maternity-style game.
The actress let fans in on the happy news via her Instagram and YouTube feeds. "Does this mean I’m allowed to drive in the car pool lane at all times now?" the Pretty Little Liars star wrote on the ’gram alongside a photo of her baring her belly. "There is something in the oven and it's not my pizza!!!" she wrote in her YouTube video description. "WOW... It's kind of surreal processing the fact that another human is growing inside of you. It's exciting, nerve-racking, difficult and emotional all at the same time."

Over the past few weeks, she's continued to update her followers on her pregnancy as well as on her summer adventures. And through it all she's been showing off her take on maternity style. From chic swimwear and cover-ups to the perfect summer dress for moms-to-be, here are some of Mitchell's best maternity looks and how you can re-create them yourself.
Not long after she announced her pregnancy, Mitchell jetted off to Italy for a sun-soaked vacation with a friend. She shared an image of herself by the water in a blue bikini with the caption: "B E A C H E D."

Her two-piece swimsuit is from the Australian swim brand White Fox—and it's very affordable: The set costs less than $60.
Later, for a night in Positano, she wore an off-the-shoulder knit dress.

Hers is from Trois the Label and is still available for purchase in a few different colors, for $225.
The style might not read "summer" at first, but a lightweight, formfitting sweater dress—especially with a slouchy, off-the-shoulder fit or with spaghetti straps—is a great option for evening and nighttime, when the temperatures start to dip.
Then, Mitchell went on a boat ride around the Amalfi Coast in a crocheted cover-up.

Her fringed dress has yet to be identified, but it being summer, there are plenty of crochet and mesh cover-ups on the market right now.
Not long after her trip to Italy, Mitchell was off again—this time, to Mexico, to celebrate her "Shaycation" collaboration with Revolve. Naturally, she wore her designs throughout the weekend.
