Never thought of bedazzling a breastpump!

Well done to Taylor Cox for normalizing moms needing to pump for their baby.

Honestly, give Taylor Cox the award for most iconic red carpet accessory. The writer and mum-of-two turned up to the Emmys in an orange dress (complete with a bedazzled breast pump) and made postpartum practicality look seriously glam.
