The royal baby is officially on the way! 

After a much-anticipated wait, Kate Middleton is now in labor and we're already dreaming of the adorable post-pregnancy looks Kate Middleton she will undoubtedly impress us with quickly thereafter.

The Duchess of Cambridge has already won over fashion fans around the globe thanks to her classic and elegant sense of style, and we have to say she boasted quite possibly the cutest baby bump we've ever laid eyes on!

From designer frocks and charming coats to lovely accessories and patent leather pumps, the royal mama-to-be pulled out all of the stops during each trimester.

With her upcoming hospital visit to give birth, followed by her exciting departure where we'll see the the royal wee one in her arms, the approaching events will mark an unforgettable moment in history.

Needless to say, we have high hopes for a chic style statement that won't disappoint! Will she follow in the footsteps of Princess Diana, who famously wore a green-and-white polka dot frock, or will she opt for something a bit more sophisticated?

Given that her favorite designers include the likes of Alexander McQueen, Jenny Packham, Issa, MaxMara, Erdem and Temperley London, we're anticipating a pretty posh ensemble for all of those celebratory photo opportunities.

On the other hand, we also wouldn't be surprised to see Prince William's leading lady in an affordable look from Topshop or Asos either! 

We tapped founder and designer of Séraphine Maternity, Cecile Reinaud, who dressed Middleton in a curve-hugging printed wrap dress during her pregnancy for additional insight.

"Kate will most likely choose to wear an empire-line dress as it is the best way to conceal a post-maternity shape," she predicted. "Although we can expect her to regain her shape rapidly—especially if she chooses to breastfeed for a few months—she will most likely keep a slightly more rounded figure than prebaby."

Reinaud also confirmed to us that Kate has already purchased a blue-and-white striped nursing sweater by the brand that she will likely wear very soon after giving birth.

"She might match it with a pair of skinny jeans for a trendy off-duty look," she commented. We can totally see her rocking that look...so cute!
