The week of Prince Louis's christening, we ask the big questions: Is there such thing as mother-of-the-baby dressing? What to buy for the royal baby who has everything? (Our suggestion: Gucci kidswear from Net-a-porter.) And who really made Princess Charlotte's hairband? In other news, Emily Cronin, Lisa Armstrong and Charlie Gowans-Eglinton discuss Bee Shaffer and Francesco Carrozzini's wedding (AKA the most Vogue nuptials ever) and why social-media bans could replace the novelty hashtag -- plus, what Riccardo Tisci's latest move tells us about his plan for Burberry.

Because pregnancy style really does exist

Until recently, ‘pregnancy fashion’ was something of an oxymoron. It’s one of the small indignities of fashion that pregnancy — a time when many women feel their most womanly -- can also be the point at which women are least served by brands. But a growing group of pregnancy-compatible labels is seeking to change that. Listen in as we introduce the brands rewriting the rules of maternity style. Also in today’s episode, Emily Cronin, Charlie Gowans-Eglinton and Sonia Haria talk about a very royal wedding gown scandal and receive a dispatch from the front lines of the cruise shows, direct from Lisa Armstrong in Cannes.

Did your mother teach you how to iron a collar, or never to leave home without matching your handbag to your shoes?
