Comfort is perhaps the number one priority for expectant mothers when dressing up, oftentimes foregoing fashion and style just to achieve this key formula. But these days, it is easier to find something that fits everyone's lifestyle and preferences.

With the recent baby boom in Hollywood, an obvious style in maternity dressing is evident in the daily paparazzi and red carpet shots. Whether your style is chic and hip, classic and elegant, edgy and cool, or glam rock, it is easier to stay in comfort and still find the perfect fashion statement that fits your lifestyle.

Take a hint at these celebrity moms and you might just find inspiration behind their cool and stylish individual maternal fashion statements.

• Cool and effortlessly chic boho-vibe

Developing extra curves and a growing baby bump doesn't have to deter you from still dressing up in your personal style. If you're one of those who go for the laid-back, effortless and comfortable way of dressing up, then take tips from celebrities like Jessica Alba, Nicole Richie and Ashlee Simpson.

Go for loose sundresses paired with flats for a leisurely lunch date, or a boho-chic maxi dress for an afternoon of shopping. Be creative and resourceful. Look no further than your own wardrobe for long, slim tank tops layered with casual cardigans and accessories, for that trademark bohemian chic vibe.

• Polished and elegant

2008 welcomed a barrage of pregnant celebrity women who always seem to look effortlessly polished and elegant. Consider getting fashion tips from hot moms Nicole Kidman and Angelina Jolie who always manages to look refined while proudly showing that baby bump.

If yours is the tailored and classic style, then crisp, clean lines should be your wardrobe essentials. Stock up on stretch skinny pants, streamlined shirtdresses, vests and tailored cardigans. Look fashionably chic and show off your curves with blouses and dresses that fit nicely and accentuate your growing belly.

• Glam and edgy

A true glam goddess knows that pregnancy doesn't mean giving up on that cool and edgy style; instead it just means finding new ways to incorporate that pregnant belly into that edgy rock chick look. Gwen Stefani seems to have mastered this look while expecting her second baby in 2008, by going from tees and leather jackets one day, and then donning feminine dresses the next.

Layering is one important component in this kind of look, and it surely adds spice to an otherwise boring outfit. Go for unstructured tops and statement tees and layer with a vest or leather jacket. Embrace your curves with comfortable dresses in striking patterns or opt for a more classic look with basic dark hues.

Learn how to mix and match to achieve a unique and glamorous look and never discount the importance of accessorizing. Spruce up your outfit with accessories that accentuate your pregnant belly. Go for funky pieces of jewelry, belts that show of your curves, colorful headgear, and oversized sunglasses during the day.
