Hottest Mamas of the Year

A Maternity Style: From People Magazine

For Gwen Stefani, Halle Berry and more, pregnancy didn't mean giving up their enviable style. Check out the hottest pregnancy-style stars of '08.

GWEN: THE ROCK STAR
While expecting her second child Zuma Nesta Rock, this singer-designer kept her edgy style in tact. Stefani stuck to A-line tops and long maxidresses, but mixed in animal prints, leather jackets, her signature aviator shades and her trendy L.A.M.B accessories for the look of a true rock-star mama.

HALLE: THE CALIFORNIA GIRL
Forget maxidresses, this Oscar winner kept her street style effortlessly cool while expecting Nahla Ariela. Letting her hair reach new volumes with funky spiral curls, Berry toggled between heavily accessorized dresses (like this Juicy Couture wrap), daringly tight jeans, leather jackets and the must-have bags of the season, including the Jimmy Choo zebra "Saba."

ANGELINA: THE MINIMALIST
Adding to her growing brood with twins Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline (kids No. 5 and 6!), Jolie put the focus on her expanding belly, often fixing her hand proudly on her bump. Whether in a sweeping Reem Acra gown or chic custom-made Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo, this superstar mom was chic and simple.

JENNIFER: THE FASHIONISTA
Being pregnant with twins Max and Emme didn't keep this style star at home! During New York's February Fashion Week, Lopez took in the Marchesa show and the Madonna-hosted Gucci party in two dresses by the designers – all in one day! And the diva kept her high heels on throughout her pregnancy – even while performing!

JESSICA: THE GIRLY GIRL
She may have never felt less sexy, but you wouldn't know it from her stylish approach to pregnancy. With concealing ruffles, like this Marchesa stunner at the Academy Awards to her forgiving maxidresses, Alba prepared for the June birth of her daughter Honor Marie in sweet, feminine frocks.

NICOLE: THE CLASSIC
Can you spot the bump? While expecting daughter Sunday Rose, Kidman kept the rumors swirling around her pregnancy with simple silhouettes in forgiving shapes. With her secret under wraps, the actress is radiant in a demure navy trapeze dress, only to proudly show off her first bump a month later in a sweet YSL dress at the Academy of Country Music Awards.
