Like many other women born in the ’90s, I have long worshipped at the style altar of Chlo\u00eb Sevigny. The It Girl to end all It Girls\u2014the actress has remained the defining image of nonchalant New York cool for encroaching on three decades. When Sevigny announced her pregnancy in January, I cared more than I had about any celebrity pregnancy for a long time. Not, as so many headlines were falling over to point out, because it was some miraculous triumph over biology that she was pregnant for the first time at 45, but because everything about her pregnancy seemed to subtly buck the codes of what we expect modern motherhood to look like.<\/p>\n

On Instagram, her content flitted between sexy\u2014like when she posed naked and resplendent<\/a> for\u00a0The Cut<\/em>\u2014and masculine, like when she gelled back her hair and wore a men’s shirt and socks for HommeGirls<\/a>. <\/em>In March she partnered with UNICEF to promote abortion access while heavily pregnant, and posed in a mock bridal veil for William Strobeck. Last month she unveiled a\u00a0Vogue Italia<\/em> cover, her body entirely obscured by a giant black Prada coat\u2014whether it was shot during her pregnancy or after her birth is totally unclear. In an era of performative motherhood it felt like an authentic and self-possessed kind of performance, one we aren’t particuarly accustomed to seeing, especially from women in their mid-forties.<\/p>\n
