So the news of Kate Middleton being pregnant is not just a rumor after all. Queen Elizabeth announced the good news in an official Palace Press release, Dec. 3. And well as happy as we are for the royal couple, we cannot help wonder what frenzy this news must have created among designers. For all you know, Middleton's favorite designers might be burning the midnight oil to cater to her maternity fashion needs.

While the Duchess has been compared to mother-in-law, Princess Diana, when it comes to outfits as well as her recent bangs, her maternity wear is likely to be different from the late princess.

The princess during her pregnancy months was often seen in typical 80's style maternity wear with high collars, puffed sleeves, floral as well as polka dot patterns. Not that Diana wasn't fashionable, she stole millions of hearts with those perfect features and her dclassy style but those were the 80's trends.

On the other hand, Middleton has been donning classic designers like Alexander McQueen, Prabal Gurung, Stella McCartney, Jenny Packham etc. So there is a high possibility that the Duchess of Cambridge's maternity wear too will be from an ace designer's haute couture collection.

And the mother-to-be, who has a quirky way of making high street fashion look as royal as herself, will probably also flaunt some trendy and comfortable pieces.

Pregnancy wear this year has taken a giant leap and is getting more and more fashionable. Reese Witherspoon for example sported one of the most fashionable and elegant maternity wear just a few months back. The Academy Award winner wore classic summer dresses in a variety of solid colors as well as floral and striped patterns. Though Witherspoon was often seen in flats as well as flip-flops, the actress managed to look uber-chic in almost everything. And teaming her maternity wear with latest trends like stylish bags, fedora hats and chic sunglasses, the actress carried an air of radiance wherever she went.

Middleton is someone who has looked impeccable since she has been in the limelight after her wedding to Prince William, and with the mother-to-be glow, we are sure that she is going to set some classy and royal trends when it comes to maternity wear. We cannot wait to feast our eyes.
