LAST week, a heavily pregnant Mariah Carey bared all for the cover of US magazine, Life & Style Weekly.

Actress Demi Moore first caused controversy when she appeared completely in the buff on the 1991 Vanity Fair cover when she was seven months pregnant.

Singaporean women here are following suit by embracing the trend of taking artistic nude maternity shots.

One photo studio owner here, Mr Jothy John, said he's seen a 50 per cent increase in the number of pregnant clients requesting bare-it maternity shots between 2009 and last year.
