# Candid Model Maternity Captures The Yo Dona April 2012 Shoot Stars Pregnant Alessandra Ambrosio By Meghan Young | Published 2012-04-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yo-dona-april-2012 References: [fashiongonerogue](http://fashiongonerogue.com/alessandra-ambrosio-ruben-vega-yo-dona-april-2012/) & [elmundo.es](http://www.elmundo.es/yodona/) The Yo Dona April 2012 editorial follows a day in the life of supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio. The Brazilian beauty, who is [pregnant with her second child](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maternity-postpartum-line), lounges around her home for this [candid photo shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knys-fall-2025). She even wears pieces from her own wardrobe, which consist of labels such as Alexander McQueen and Thakoon. Lensed by Madrid-based photographer Ruben Vega, the Yo Dona April 2012 editorial is beautifully relatable, despite Ambrosio's out-of-this-world looks. The shoot is very simple, and there is nothing too over-the-top in regards to fashion and personality. Instead, both Vega and Ambrosio seem at home in this editorial. The laid-back images in the Yo Dona April 2012 editorial were complemented with [easy makeup and hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) by Piti Pastor and Miguel Angel. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Candid Maternity Shoots:** Opportunity to offer relatable and authentic pregnancy photography experiences for expecting mothers. - **Lifestyle Photography:** Potential to create photo shoots that capture the everyday lives of individuals, making the content more relatable and engaging. ### Who This Affects Most - **Maternity Photography:** Using candid and relatable approaches to capture the journey of pregnancy through photography. - **Fashion Photography:** Incorporating simplicity and authenticity in fashion shoots can create a more approachable and relatable image for brands and models. - **Makeup and Hair Styling:** Providing natural and effortless looks for photo shoots can cater to the increasing demand for minimalistic beauty styles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elevated Maternity Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seraphine-1.md) - [AI Maternity Photoshoot Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maternity-photoshoot.md) - [Authentic Fashion House Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/springsummer-2024.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Pregnancy-Safe Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/well-people-pregnancy-safe.md) - [Intergenerational Fashion Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gapstudios-fw25.md) - [Supportive Maternity Shapewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maternity-shapewear.md) - [Intimate Maternity Clothing Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maternity-postpartum-line.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md)
