She has become a pro at assembling stylish maternity looks since announcing her pregnancy in September.

And Mandy Moore didn’t disappoint on Wednesday when she was spotted out in Los Angeles wearing a chic black-and-white checkered dress.

The 36-year-old This Is Us star flaunted her abundant patterned clothing while out to visit a friend.

Mandy’s checkered dress reached down to her knees and revealed her pointy black boots.

She stayed cozy on the chilly day with an attractive striped multicolored coat that she draped loosely over her shoulders.

The 5ft9in actress accessorized with a ruched black handbag that he cradled in her arm, and she blocked out the sun with a set of black cat-eye sunglasses.

She wore her shoulder-length brunette tresses down in gentle waves, and she held her hair back with a black hairband.

Mandy has been keeping her fans abreast of her pregnancy in recent weeks, most recently confessing that her third trimester had left her nauseated and ‘weepy.’

She shared a selfie of herself in bed on Saturday while wearing a coral sweatshirt to make the admission.

‘Question for third trimester pregnant friends — is anyone else suddenly nauseous, exhausted, and weepy?’ she inquired. ‘What the heck?? I feel like everything just turned on a dime.’

The singer is expecting her first child with her husband Taylor Goldsmith, the frontman for the rock band Dawes. 

The couple, who began dating in 2015, celebrated their second wedding anniversary in November.

Mandy, who won an E! People’s Choice Award last month for her role as the matriarch on NBC’s hit primetime soap This Is Us, told Today in November that the show had prepared her for motherhood.

‘Playing a matriarch of a family for the last five years and getting to see children at various different chapters and stages, I feel like I’m as pseudo-prepared as I can be [sic],’ she told Hoda Kotb. 

‘I’ve had babies and toddlers and adult children [on the show], so I’ve gotten a pretty good taste and lay of the land.’

But even if she feels more prepared than the average first-time parent, Mandy is still happy to get ‘unsolicited advice’ from parents.
