Stealthiest Bump: Miranda Kerr

Miranda's fringy, flirty black number barely hints that she's a mommy-to-be and could stop any swashbuckling pirate in his tracks.

Best at Feeling the Love: Beyoncé Knowles

Since this superstar songstress announced her pregnancy last August, she's hit the town in some fabulous fashion. Here, her glittering earrings, elegant dress, and sexy sideswept hair make it clear why this dreamgirl's no single lady.

Lamest Use of Toddler Decoy: Toni Collette

Okay, Toni, we know you're not one for the Hollywood glare, but the thrift-shop-y shirt, sloppy scarf, and flip-flops don't do your beautiful bump justice.

WORST

pregnant Natalie Portman
Credit: Jen Lowery / Splash News

Worst Red-Carpet Look: Natalie Portman

The poised Black Swan star rarely disappoints when it comes to fashion, but this shimmery gown flops. The pink's too cotton-candy; the flower too intense; and the matching purse and lips a little too bold for the slim, sophisticated star.

pregnant Kate Hudson

Most Muumuu-Like: Kate Hudson

This sack of a dress has a splash of modern art and looks like it offers maximum comfort for itchy belly time, but it would work better as a wall hanging.

Least Bump-Embracing: January Jones

We appreciate January's uncomplicated look, but we wish she would have taken a cue from Betty Draper's glam maternity style and ditched the jeans and T-shirts once in a while.

Amy Tara Koch, author of Bump it Up, offers her top tips for looking fabulous when you're expecting.

1. Choose clothing that makes you look longer and leaner.

2. Invest in neutrals--they go with everything.

3. Don't hesitate to wear black--it's slimming, even when you're pregnant.

4. Layer on accessories; think necklaces, because you won't gain weight in your neck.

5. Wear a belt to create an Empire waist or to highlight your bump.
