Celeberity Looks- Kate Middleton Maternity looks

by Katie Haller

You didn’t actually think that I could go for 9 months and not do a blog post on Kate Middleton’s maternity style, did you?  I just love her style way too much to not talk about her fashion during her two pregnancies, while I’m pregnant.  Her style during pregnancy was no different than her normal non-maternity style; simple, effortless and classic.  She wore some beautiful dresses that fit her baby bump perfectly.  I just love how polished she always looks.  
Here are just some of my favorite Kate Middleton maternity looks. 

When you’re married to a prince, you’re bound to have a fabulous closet.  This is why it can be hard for the average girl living on a small budget to recreate these royal maternity looks.  But it’s not impossible when you get creative with what you already have.  You will be surprised by how easy it is to recreate some royal looks.

 Here are a few looks that I came up with from my own close in my closet that was inspired by some of Kate’s maternity outfits. 

The Duchess has often worn wrap dresses; pregnant or not pregnant.  For this look, I pulled out one of my favorite wrap dresses that I bought at a thrift store last year.  I wore a tan sweater and nude shoes with the dress to complete the Kate look.  
I loved the look that Kate Middleton wore on a tour of the Warner Brothers Studio in 2013, seen here wearing a polka dot dress and a black blazer.  I really wanted to recreate this look, but my closet is lacking when it comes to polka dot dresses, so I substituted black and white polka dots for black and white stripes with this sundress from Target (worn here before I was pregnant).  I wore my black blazer and black wedge shoes to finish the look. 
Many of the dresses that Kate Middleton wore during her pregnancies were very simple and tailored to fit her body, with some kind of pattern.  I thought that the style of this striped dress from Target was similar to some of Kate’s dresses.  I wore it with my nude pumps and a statement necklace to dress it up.

I’ve got to say I’m pretty jealous of Kate’s coat collection.  She has so many fabulous coats, that I would love to have.  I loved this look that she wore here, with a Burberry trench coat, while pregnant with Prince George.  I have a knock off trench coat from Forever 21 that I really love.  I recreated her look with it and a simple outfit with leggings and black flats.

  The best ways to recreate Kate Middleton’s looks is to just stick to her basics and copy her classic style on your own budget.
