Summer's bold, floral maternity trend doesn't end when expectant mamas give birth. Just six days after welcoming Bingham Hawn Bellamy, Kate Hudson was spotted dining out with big brother Ryder and her fiancé Matt Bellamy. The new mama kept things loose and flowy, in a long, floral dress that provided plenty of room for her rapidly decreasing midsection and larger bust line. For other mamas who want to slip out of their maternity clothes and into something without an elastic waist, checkout my picks below.

Sophisticated Mama: Steal Carla Bruni's Buttoned-Up Maternity Style

Rebecca M Gruber — Fri, 27 May 2011 03:21:59 PDT

It's probably as strong of a confirmation as we'll ever get from Carla Bruni. The first lady of France attended yesterday's G8 Summit in a loose white shift that simply graced her burgeoning belly - a sharp contrast from the more tailored look she usually wears. The sophisticated style is reminiscent of the more conservative looks other pregnant first ladies have worn through the years, as opposed to the sheer look many celeb mamas are now wearing. With Memorial Day upon us, get set to bring out your own whites. I've rounded up five white frocks to get you started!

The swing style is a nice departure from the form-fitting styles we usually see, and best of all it's comfortable! Here are four options for expectant moms looking to re-create the look.
