Lifestyle content creator Emily Mariko is embracing her second pregnancy with the effortless style she's known for, and fans can't get enough of her latest prenatal outfit haul. The social media influencer, best known for her viral salmon bowl and serene aesthetic, previously shared the announcement that she's expecting her second child with husband Matt Rickard.
In a Thanksgiving-themed clip in late November 2025, she cleverly used pie slices to reveal her growing family. In a follow-up Instagram moment under the Christmas tree, Mariko and Rickard unveiled that their upcoming addition will be a boy, as her toddler son Teddy excitedly took in the news.
Effortless Looks for Her Growing Bump
Mariko's recent Instagram video documenting her pregnancy wardrobe is a goldmine of comfortable, low-effort pieces that still feel chic. It's perfect for women updating their maternity rotation this season. She candidly notes that most of what she's tried isn't officially maternity gear. Instead, she's sizing up and relying on stretchier silhouettes to accommodate her bump.
Key pieces she showcased include loose linen two-piece sets, cute dresses that 'fit the bump very well', stretchy bottoms, and oversized shirts. Pieces like gauzy shorts paired with soft tees exemplify how simple basics can be pregnancy-friendly without looking frumpy.
Mariko also highlighted soft waffle sets with low rises that are perfect for pregnant women and quilted or corduroy jackets that layer over a bump with ease. One thing to remember about her clothing is that comfort doesn't have to mean giving up style.

Who Is Emily Mariko?
Mariko began as a fashion‑minded creator before a simple cooking video reshaped her online identity. Her leftover salmon and rice bowl tutorial exploded on TikTok in the summer of 2021, captivating millions with minimalist visuals and calming ASMR‑style editing.
Today, she has over 12 million followers on TikTok and 2 million on Instagram. On both platforms, she posts short clips of her family's daily life and quiet luxury content.
Her early social media roots stretch back to YouTube, where she posted fashion hauls and styling videos under the channel Sharewear. Over time, her feed evolved to highlight everyday routines, from farmers' market hauls to pantry organisation.
Her Quiet Luxury Aesthetic
A big part of Mariko's reach is her style, which includes neutrals without brands, high-quality basics, and outfits that look put together without being too planned out. This quiet luxury style has spread beyond the food and lifestyle communities and into the fashion world.
Alongside her calming content and aesthetic, her personal life has become part of her narrative. In 2023, Mariko married Rickard in a ceremony that fans dubbed the epitome of quiet luxury. Her public persona is based on traditional grace and simple, timeless style.
With their firstborn Teddy now a regular in her videos, the announcement of baby No 2 has added a warm, familial chapter to her comfortable lifestyle.
