Who says maternity clothes have to be bland and uninteresting? Not Christian Siriano, that's for sure -- the designer is planning a range for pregnant women, called Fierce for Moody Mamas by Christian Siriano, due out Spring 2009.

Moody Mamas has some seriously stylish maternity wear already -- from tanks with a sparkly message (It's a girl!) to cozy cashmere wraps made for two, they have moms-to-be fashionably covered. It's no surprise, really -- Christian is friends with the Moody Mamas founders. Still, it looks like Christian's Fierce line will be a perfect addition.

Being pregnant in the summer time is tough. It's hot. You sweat. It sucks. Unless of course you vow to take your inspiration from Angelina Jolie. This sexy mama braved the steamy weather with even more sweltering style.

Let's take a look at some of her key fashion tips for all you pregos out there.

Tori Spelling recently took her bump on a shopping spree. She headed over to the Harmony Lane boutique in Beverly Hills to pick up some clothes for spring. At 8 months pregnant we should be talking about how big she is, but the store owners were talking about quite the opposite -- she's still tiny! Just guess what size she's wearing these days.

Nicole Richie has confirmed the rumors. Her maternity line will soon become a reality. The Simple Life star is now talking about why she decided to become a designer for knocked up women and who was her inspiration during pregnancy. Continue reading to find out more.

If you're pregnant and you're looking for some advice on what not to wear, look no further. Kristen already gave us the low down on how to play up your assets while you're expecting. Now I'll help you out with some blunders you should avoid.

You already know that a baby bump (and the subsequent baby) seems to be one of the must-have accessories in Hollywood this year. You also probably know that looking fashionable into the third trimester is no easy feat -- however, stars like Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, and Jennifer Lopez have managed to look put together throughout their pregnancies.

Aside from the fact that they have a herd of stylists undoubtedly giving them a hand, how do they do it? Let me tell you -- they play up their assets. Whether they have copious amounts of cleavage, killer legs, or just have an amazing glow about them, these lovely ladies played up their pregnancies and looked great doing it. Look through the gallery for tips on how you can dress to the nines all nine months, too.

Wow. Just. Wow. It's like the Spears family is cursed or something. Was Jamie Lynn even paying attention when her 20-something sister's career went spiraling down the toilet after two ill-advised pregnancies with Kevin 'Gold-digger' Federline?

Regardless, the deed is done, and the younger Spears sister is with child. Seeing as she's all of 16-years-old, chances are she won't be interested in your run-of-the-mill maternity wear. So here's a few options for Jamie Lynn (or anyone else who wants to look cool while they're carrying baby).


Let's just hope this doesn't make childhood pregnancy trendy. The day I see a pregnant Bratz doll marketed at my daughter, I'm going to wretch all over Toys 'R' Us.

I have never been pregnant (thank goodness) so I can only imagine how hard it is to keep up appearances while toting around a 7-8 lb baby in your belly. That is why I applaud apparel retailers like Pea in the Pod and all of the designers that design maternity wear.

That being said, I have to hold my applause on this look and instead hold the rim of my toilet. My goodness, this outfit is bad. I saw the ad in Vogue's September issue and immediately felt badly for all of the poor defenseless pregnant women out there who saw it.

Out of 840 pages of fashion I am sure that was the only pregnant lady selection in the whole magazine, and that is what they got. A sparkly mess of an outfit topped with a furry parka and latex leggings. It's just too much shine, its even too much shine for someone who isn't pregnant.

Women of the world, would you wear this look? Or am I just biased because children and pregnancy aren't my cup of tea? There are some other great maternity looks for Fall 2007 on A Pea in the Pod's website, so take a look.

Our friends over at Blogging Baby remind us that just because a woman is pregnant doesn't mean she has to stay at home in maternity sweatpants while everyone else is out partying this Holiday season. They have found three dresses, all of them black, naturally, that are great for the cocktail partying (well, maybe not quite the cocktail part) mama-to-be: strappy empire dress by Liz Lange at Target, strapless lace dress at Due Maternity by Maternal America, and black formal maternity dress at Nicole Maternity Wholesale.

So ladies, don't let a bit of a belly bulge keep you at home. At least, don't let the availability of cute maternity evening wear be the reason you stay home. If you feel like staying home and watching a DVD laying in the fetal position on the floor, well that's another story.

Now four months pregnant with her third child, Heidi Klum approached designer Scott Morrison to create a range of skinny, tapered leg jeans in sizes that correspond to each month of her pregnancy. Why? Because the supermodel and hostess of the show Project Runway doesn't like the elastic-waisted maternity jeans that are out there. Perhaps it will inspire designers to create entire 9-month sets to sell in stores to the general public.

Until then, I wonder what she'll do with them after she gives birth.
