Kate's Maternity Fashion Inspiration

From Queen Rania to Princess Mathilde, which stylish royal will the Duchess of Cambridge look to for maternity style tips?


QUEEN RANIA OF JORDAN
Jordan's reigning style icon maintained her glamorous image while pregnant with her fourth child, Prince Hashem, in late 2004. A printed chiffon gown gets the royal treatment with a luxe black fur stole by night, while a timeless fitted tweed coat and classic black sweater and pants disguise her bump for a chic daytime look.

CROWN PRINCESS VICTORIA OF SWEDEN
A figure-flattering head-to-toe black ensemble deflects attention from the new mom's burgeoning bump during a public appearance in October 2011. By December, the Crown Princess flaunted her growing curves in glamorous head-to-toe sequins paired with sky-high stilettos during a Nobel prize ceremony in Sweden.

PRINCESS MATHILDE OF BELGIUM
Proving royal maternity style can be edgy, the cool blonde kept her hemlines above the knee and added a fashion-forward splash of black PVC while pregnant with her fourth child, Princess Eleonore, in February 2008.

CROWN PRINCESS MARY OF DENMARK
The Aussie-born Danish princess, who's drawn comparisons to Kate, took royal maternity style to a new level during her third pregnancy with twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine in 2010. A daring strapless silk jumpsuit paired with sky-high Louboutins disguised her four-month baby bump, while an asymmetrical LBD flattered her toned arms and growing tummy a month later.

PRINCESS MARIE OF DENMARK
Another Kate look-alike, the French-born Danish princess experimented with color during her two pregnancies. An empire-line chiffon gown in royal purple looked fresh after dark during her first pregnancy in 2009, while an eye-catching red shift and nude heels looked sharp during a public appearance in November 2011.

PRINCESS LETIZIA OF SPAIN
The chic former TV reporter didn't ditch her signature blazers during her 2005 pregnancy with second daughter Princess Leonor – she simply opted for classic black and white to flatter her growing bump!
