Shay Mitchell shows fans what her pregnant self really looks like behind the camera.
The "Pretty Little Liars" alum, 34, took to Instagram and shared two photos that showed her glamorous side and her not-so glamourous side while being pregnant.
In the first photo, Mitchell looked nothing short of gorgeous in a sparkly silver dress with thin straps and a short length. Despite being in her third trimester, the actress still rocked high heels that matched her outfit. She also carried a silver Dior sling bag and sported a metallic oversized coat.
Showing The Unglamorous Side
Mitchell was seemingly posing inside an elevator that had mirror-like walls. She stood on one corner and posed sideways with her left knee slightly bent. Her long raven locks were left down and styled in waves.
A swipe to the right showed the "You" star lounging in bed with a face mask on. She changed her mesh dress with a white top with long sleeves and black lounge pants. This time, Mitchell tied her hair in a high bun.
She captioned the post with: "11:58 vs 12am."

On the same day, the actress also shared a photo of herself sitting on a couch while inside a store. Her outfit was more casual that included a white crop top that exposed her bare baby bump. She also sported light gray joggers, a long black coat, and white Nike Air Force 1 sneakers.
According to the caption, Mitchell was so happy to find "a couch in a store," especially during her "third trimester."
Pregnancy Announcement
Mitchell shared the news of her pregnancy on February 7 in an Instagram post, just a week after her grandma died.
“Saying goodbye to a loved one while simultaneously experiencing the joy of welcoming another into this world is the great cycle of life,” she began.
“It is also my most challenging season to date. I can’t help but think this was the universe’s plan all along, knowing I would need other worldly joy to cushion the blow of losing one of the most important people in my life. Yet, this is proof that love, life and loss can profoundly exist all at the same time," she continued.
"Gram, I miss you every day. Little one, we are so excited to meet you. I breathe a sigh of peace knowing you two are already connected in such a cosmic way," she added.
