And when we spotted her at Ashlee Margolis' shopping soiree, she revealed that the trick was a complete style makeover. "I’ve worn tighter clothing throughout my pregnancy than I ever have non-pregnant," said Bell, who went from empire waist Jenny Packham earlier this year to fitted tees like this one.
