Bump, there it is!

As soon as mom-to-be Kate Middleton started showing, top designers and fashion houses were itching to dress her growing belly. So much so, WWD even got a few to dream up maternity designs for the Duchess of Cambridge.

Karl Lagerfeld sketched a long-sleeved blue frock with plunging cutout neckline while Lela Rose designed an classically feminine shape with embelished top. Nina Ricci and Nanette Lepore went with bright summery prints, Chloé imagined ruffles and Donna Karan created an elegant evening gown.

While the fashion recommendations are, of course, stunning, so far Kate has opted for normal non-maternity clothing (ahem, Topshop). Of course, with a few months to go, that could all change. But, based on the looks Prince William's wife has favored so far, we doubt Kate will be switching up her signature style anytime soon.

What do you think of Kate's maternity style?
