Karl Lagerfeld made a fashion statement last night by casting pregnant model Ashleigh Good in Chanel’s fall 2014 haute couture fashion show.

At the Parisian show Good appeared like a lily in full bloom as she sauntered down the runway in a stunning white and bejewelled wedding gown hand-in-hand with the fashion house’s famed designer.

The bridal couture hugged the model’s heavily pregnant figure impeccably and was the perfect end to an already aesthetically superb show.

Once upon a time being a pregnant model could be a potentially career threatening move but these days more and more designers seem happy to include expectant mums in their collections.
