Where Does Fergie’s Maternity Style Fall On a Scale From Mild to Wild?

When we heard that Fergie was expecting a baby Black Eyed Pea, we were on the edge of our seats waiting to see how the famously funky star‘s maternity style would play out. Luckily she didn’t keep us waiting long, stepping out with husband Josh Duhamel Tuesday in a shearling bomber jacket, yellow sweater dress and circular sunglasses.

“It’s clear to see how happy they are,” a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE. ”They are really excited.” And we are really excited to see how her outfits fit into the range of maternity style — from low-key to high-wattage — that we’ve been spotting from L.A. to London.

On the “mild” end of the spectrum is the Duchess of Cambridge (left), who has dressed her barely-there bump in conservative coats and this elegant Max Mara wrap dress.

A little wilder is Jessica Simpson, wearing a pink jacket with Jessica Simpson Maternity leggings, who sticks to the same styles she favors even when not pregnant (blazers, maxis and sky-high heels) but isn’t shy about putting her fuller curves on display with plunging V-necks.

And on the far end of the “mild to wild”-o-meter: Kim Kardashian, of course, who has put her bump on display in feathers, crop tops, mesh, sequins and sheer numbers — including this onesie pantsuit.

As it turns out, these stars’ maternity style isn’t so different from how they dressed pre-baby … which makes us even more excited to see how the rest of their pregnancy wardrobe will go. Tell us: Who’s the best-dressed mom-to-be?

1. Why always make things a competion. Seems silly.
2. Fergie just said she was pregnant yesterday. What maternity style?
3. KK has no style, pregnant or not.

By far, Kate is the classiest of the 4. I think Jessica Simpson dresses in what she wants and she doesn’t look “bad”, Kim…I don’t even know what to say about her. I think she wears what she wants to as well. As for Fergie, I can’t even tell she is pregnant so I wouldn’t call this “maternity style” — and I had to laugh a little at the “ever since we found out Fergie was expecting we’ve been on the edge of our seats to see her maternity style” — didn’t the announcement just come out today or possibly yesterday? She could’ve worn this same outfit over the weekend and you would’ve never called it maternity style. Give people a minute to breathe before you start pushing “maternity” style and “baby bumps” and “baby names” on them. You’ve 7-9mths of stories. They don’t all have to be reported in the first day of the announcement.

Okay, while Kate is pretty and always looks classy: she is not gorgeous. I am not trying ti be mean. Just stating that all the praise towards her is overrated.

Jessica is the only one who even looks pregnant right now. Ask us again in a few months.

pqm on

I’ll give Jessica a vote…polished, professional and always stylish. Kim K…..the worst!

Pepper on

Obviously Kate is the clasiest dresser. But why is any comparison necessary at all? These are four individual women with four individual styles. Can’t we just let them be themselves?

Reese on

Jess and Kate look stunning! Kim looks like a glorified p*rn star. She doesn’t have any class, style or elegance. Its like a walking, talking pig!

Pam on

Kim K already has large thighs and legs and they are going to get bigger! She will have her chest hanging out all over like Jessica Simpson. Kate is the only one with class!

Tiffany on

The Duchess is the only one who looks good pregnant and like a lady. She will be a great mom.
