Favoring voluminous silhouettes with festive prints, Portman has sported striped caftan-inspired dresses from The Row and minidresses by Rodarte, but it was her graphic Dior dress, which she topped off with a fresh coordinating dinner jacket, that put her (and baby Portman-Millepied) in the winner’s circle.

A New York City veteran and fashion plate, Rothschild didn’t miss a beat during her pregnancy. From sporting skinny jeans with animal-print coats at brunch to gussying up in floor-length embellished gowns, Rothschild adapted her fashion-forward looks to fit her new silhouette.

One couldn't ask for a more perfect pregnant fashion muse than Blake Lively. She embraced her changing body shape, highlighting her bump with figure-flattering styles just as she did when she was carrying her now 2-year-old daughter, James.

The singer made waves in tailored menswear ensembles from Lanvin during her first pregnancy, but has changed tack for her second, with grandiose, ladylike gowns. Her most major moment? The custom Stephane Rolland dress she wore to this year’s AMAs that brought a new, refined sensibility to maternity style.

Washington’s first pregnancy saw her wear full-on feminine looks from Jason Wu and Prada, though her second pregnancy seems to have called for a more minimalist aesthetic. Favoring old Hollywood silhouettes with a hint of drama, the actress was a standout at the Emmy Awards.

The cookbook author worked body-con monochromatic outfits into her pregnancy warderobe by day, but kept things glamorous for evening. This was most evident at the Academy Awards after-party in February, where her embellished dress hugged every curve with a touch of sparkle.

On a press tour for her new film Allied with Brad Pitt, Cotillard has wowed the crowds in everything from leather leggings and booties to asymmetric eveningwear. But it was a velvet Dior minidress that let the expectant mother show off her ladylike approach to modern maternity style.
