The Kardashian Sisters' Best Maternity Styles

You have to admit that 2017 was a blessed year, gifting us with more than one Kardashian pregnancy. And with these pregnancies came some truly jaw-dropping outfit choices, from form-fitting dresses to high-end athleisure wear and everything in between. The Kardashian-Jenner sisters may be known for their extravagance but when it comes to pregnancy fashion, nobody does it better.

It isn't limited just to 2017, either. Over the years, these women have turned dressing while gestating into a fine art. Kim may have started out simply trying to turn her regular look into her pregnant look, but under the tutelage of fashion designer hubby Kanye West, she's blossomed into a high-fashion butterfly who just happens to have a bulging belly. 

In her pregnancies, Kourtney was her same stubborn, low-key, effortless self. Khloe, meanwhile, was capital-H high fashion from the very first announcement. For her part, Kylie kept everything about her pregnancy hidden until the very end before blowing everyone away with how effortless she made it look. 

This is the best of the best of the Kardashian sisters' most iconic pregnancy style moments over the years. 

As Kourtney was the very first Kardashian sister to get pregnant, she's the originator of much of their chic with-baby style go-tos. White was clearly a maternity theme for her, too. At the 2014 Women's Health Party Under the Stars in Bridgehampton, New York, on August 9, Kourtney, then 35, opted for this super-sexy look. 

Wearing a cream, Made For Pearl's Baron lace romper with a plunging neckline, Kourtney looked glowing and healthy. Her minimalist, mostly nude makeup let the outfit do the talking, while her tousled, beach-y hair was ideal for the waterside setting. 

Kourtney attended the event with then-partner, and father of her three children, Scott Disick. The two had just wrapped a summer of filming spin-off reality show Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons at the time. Disappointingly, Disick did not match Kardashian and instead opted for a laid-back flannel shirt and jeans for the event. Kardashian and Disick's third child, son Reign Ashton Disick, was born just a couple months later, on December 14. 

As daring as the pink latex dress was, it took a while for Kim to find her pregnancy style groove. Try as she did in the beginning, while pregnant with first child North West, to adapt her usual style to her blossoming bump, it wasn't until Kanye stepped in that Kim really started to shine. 

As with this stunning, caped Valentino gown, which she donned further along during her second pregnancy for the InStyle Awards in Los Angeles, in 2015. The fact Kim chose a tight-fitting, pure white gown is even more impressive given how difficult her second pregnancy was. Kardashian-West has been vocal about how hard both of her pregnancies were, following complications with first child North. 

She even admitted to feeling "like a f***ing whale" while pregnant with Saint, making her outfit choice for the InStyle event even braver. Kim wasn't too far off giving birth at this stage, so there was a significant chance the gown could've been ruined, but thankfully little Saint held off until Christmastime.  

Kim outdid herself later in 2015 when she appeared in Givenchy yet again, this time at the LACMA Art + Film Gala. In a lace number that would give even the fittest, slimmest woman pause, Kim proudly displayed her about-to-pop self for all to see. Accessorizing with an achingly cool plum lip, slicked back hair, and minimal jewels from designer Lorraine Schwartz, Kim let the super-risqué outfit do the talking — and everybody did. 

Kardashian-West tweeted earlier in the night to show off her "dates" for the evening, supermodel Naomi Campbell, and Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci. Fans were given just a glimpse of what was to come, but the full outfit in all its glory did not disappoint. 

It was one of the biggest style moments of Kim's second pregnancy, equal parts shocking and stylish. It regularly tops Best Of lists as the exact antithesis to Kim's ill-advised floral dress at the Met Gala (which, to be fair, Tisci himself defended). 

When the time came to make her first public appearance after announcing her pregnancy, Khloe made sure to look the part. For her appearance on Ellen in January 2017, Khloe wowed in a stunning Cushnie Et Ochs dress and matching, long jacket from August Getty Atelier. 

A fun, half-up, half-down hairstyle captured the essence of the Kardashian's biggest prankster (and originator of the infamous Todd Kraines bit), while her makeup was reliably eye-catching and sophisticated. Cradling her bump and sticking her tongue out in the accompanying Insta shot, Khloe was the picture-perfect ideal of pregnancy. 

Her appearance on the talk show, meanwhile, was characterized by host Ellen's needling her over half-sister Kylie's then still unconfirmed pregnancy. Khloe also opened up about how long she'd been wishing and hoping to get pregnant, as well as continuing to eat right, and taking things slow with partner Thompson following the sad dissolution of her previous marriage to Lamar Odom. 

Khloe glammed it up even further for a guest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Wearing a blue satin Cushnie Et Tochs dress and a Galvan London coat, with hair by go-to stylist Andrew Fitzsimsons and an iconic red lip to finish the whole thing off, Khloe is the picture of Hollywood glamour. 

The look is courtesy of her stylist Dani Michelle, and showcases Khloe's swollen tum without taking anything away from her, stylistically speaking. The inspiration for the wavy hair was Veronice Lake, a sexy 1940s starlet. 

When asked about why he reckons fans are so captivated by the Kardashians on an ongoing basis, Fitzsimons said it's because, "they come up with so many looks" over the course of even a single week. "Plus, they all have different personal styles, so there's a lot of inspiration to draw from," he added, which must have at least something to do with Khloe, who's the biggest risk-taker of them all (even while heavily pregnant).

Another big moment in Kylie's pregnancy video comes when sister Kendall stages a makeshift photo-shoot in the desert with her. For this, Kylie is wearing a House of CB London Tomlin black midi length fitted dress. 

This, as with the footage of Kylie hanging out and eating food with friends and partner Travis Scott, shows how little her style changed over the course of her pregnancy. As usual, Kylie wore form-fitting casual dresses and athleisure wear for the most part, usually accessorized with big, attention-grabbing jewels. 

Given how secretive she was about the pregnancy itself, staying almost completely out of the limelight for the entire nine months, it stands to reason Kylie continued dressing as she normally did. If she'd suddenly turned up looking super demure, even more questions would have been asked. The 20-year-old was already dealing with enough at that stage, trying to ensure her pregnancy was healthy and safe. Her main concern was comfort and staying true to herself.
