Gabrielle Harlan has been documenting her pregnancy while wearing the Hooters maternity uniform, which consists of a black Hooters fitted T-shirt and stretchy shorts, in several videos online, sparking interest from viewers at the inclusive uniform.
The waitress from the Midwest posted her first video of her showcasing her baby bump in the Hooters maternity uniform while at work on TikTok on Dec. 18, 2024. The video currently has 1.6 million views.
“Finally big enough to wear the maternity uniform 🥹,” wrote Harlan in the clip. She added in the caption that she’s “so comfortable compared to the regular uniform! 😂"
Over the following months, Harlan has continued to post videos of her posing to the side in her maternity uniform as her baby bump has grown.
In one video at 32 weeks pregnant, Harlan wrote, “Everyone was so mad when I said I finally fit the maternity uniform at 23 weeks 🤣😭.” She said in a “bump update” in the video, which has 6.8 million views, “I actually fit the uniform [now].”
The Hooters maternity uniform looks strikingly different to the restaurant’s usual uniform worn by waitresses, which consists of a white plunging fitted T-shirt tucked into bright orange hotpants.
Harlan previously posted a video on TikTok of her sporting the “OG uniform” at 20 weeks pregnant before switching to her Hooters maternity outfit, as she had her slight baby bump covered with a brown fanny pack.
Pregnancy hasn't put off the waitress from working at Hooters. She wrote in another video that she loves her job at Hooters, describing it as “the best thing that’s ever happened to me 🥹.”
