Hooters is widely recognized (and even controversial) for their female servers’ sexy, figure-baring uniform.
Recently, however, a pregnant Hooters employee garnered millions of views on TikTok by revealing the restaurant chain’s maternity uniform.
Hooters server Gabrielle Harlan first showed off the brand’s maternity uniform — a black t-shirt and black shorts that stretch to fit her baby bump — in December 2024.
“Finally big enough to wear the maternity uniform,” Harlan shared via a text overlay.
“I’m most likely wearing this wrong. I have no idea what I am doing. But it’s so comfortable compared to the regular uniform!” she captioned the clip.

In a follow-up video, Harlan updated viewers with a look at her maternity uniform’s fit at 32 weeks pregnant.
“Everyone was so mad when I said I finally fit the maternity uniform at 23 weeks,” she captioned the clip.
Although the maternity uniform appears more comfortable and conservative compared to the brand’s infamous orange booty shorts and busty white t-shirt or tank top, according to Hooters’ website, the company is committed to being “more accommodating” these days thanks to their “inclusive image policy.”
