We love following Kate Middleton’s maternity style, not only because she always looks completely polished, but also because she knows exactly what works for her. From lace gowns to statement coats, she's never one to shy away from making a style statement—even when dressing a bump.
From early on in her third pregnancy, the Duchess of Cambridge stepped up her style game, donning vibrant colors and gorgeous gowns—almost always with her signature stilettos. And her wardrobe isn't the only thing she stepped up: The royal seemed to be doing more official engagements than ever before in the second half of her third pregnancy, meaning we had plenty of opportunities to see the expectant star out and about.
Our three favorite words: add to cart.

Color clashing

The duchess looked beautiful in a floral Hobbs blouse, Goat coat, black jeans, and matching pumps, perhaps taking a few style cues from her future sister-in-law, Meghan Markle.
She's in luck
