Practically an expert from her first pregnancy with baby George, the Duchess of Cambridge nailed maternity style from day one. Wearing a pale green Jenny Packham gown and nude L.K. Bennett sandals to an event at the Natural History Museum, Catherine easily stole the show.

At six months, the Duchess offered a colorful ensemble from her go-to maternity line, Seraphine—and made a case for accessorizing with a bouquet.

Catherine is famous for repeating outfits, just as she did at the annual Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey in March. Though her pale pink Alexander McQueen coat wasn’t quite new, the Duchess gave it an update with a coordinating Jane Taylor Hat, Kiki McDonough earrings, and a bag and shoes by Prada.

A rare printed ensemble from high-street store Hobbs was just the ticket for a trip to Margate, a contemporary art gallery in southern England.

With her due date less than one month away, the Duchess donned an all-navy ensemble for a Commemoration Service in England. While her Beulah London coat and Alexander McQueen heels were quite modest, an off-kilter hat added some much needed attitude.

Middleton got into the holiday spirit at the St Patrick’s Day parade at Mons Barracks. A bundle of shamrocks and a gold brooch added a festive touch without taking the focus away from her elegant Catherine Walker ensemble.

Nearing the end of her pregnancy, the Duchess donned a $63 polka dot dress from ASOS while visiting the Brookhill Children’s Center in Woolwich. Needless to say, that dress has sold out.

The Duchess donned another bold look for an event in South London. Though she had previously worn the hot pink Mulberry coat on her New York trip, the Duchess added a spring twist to the look with a black clutch and no tights.

Introducing her new baby, Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, the Duchess stepped out in a sunny yellow dress by Jenny Packham. Soft curls and nude pumps completed her glowing look—and flawless maternity run.
