Gretchen Rossi is elevating maternity fashion and beauty, one gorgeous pic at a time. The new mom has been sharing touching shots on Instagram taken just moments after she and Slade Smiley welcomed their baby girl, Skylar Gray, and each one is more stunning than the last. In her most recent Instagram pic, the blonde beauty is holding her new bundle of joy for the first time after her C-section surgery and not only do mom and daughter look like they are on cloud nine, but also Gretchen’s glamorous hair is seriously impressive. 

Maintaining a certain level of flawlessness comes naturally to The Real Housewives of Orange County alum. Gretchen’s fun and flirty maternity style was full of teeny bikinis, figure-hugging dresses, and glitzy gowns fit for a goddess. At nine months pregnant, our Gretchen staged a maternity photo shoot...in a milk bath...while wearing lingerie and covered in rose petals. So, yeah, Gretchen knows a thing or two about glam. But in this sweet pic, it looks like Gretchen’s pre-labor hair and makeup session really paid off because her blonde locks are perfectly coiffed. Her long waves are cascading just so against her pillow and even though the picture is in black and white, we can tell that her makeup is on point as well. 

Honestly, Gretchen makes motherhood look so effortless.
