Pics are out of Christian Siriano‘s new maternity collection (random) for Moody Mamas. We’re not sure what’s to be expected of a designer maternity line (is anyone ever actually excited to wear those clothes?), but what we’re seeing here doesn’t show the fierceness Siriano is known for. What he’s brought to the closet: a series of girly silk dresses, ruffle tops, and standard sweaters. On the other hand, when you’re pregnant, how edgy do you want your clothes to be? Do you want to stand out for being fashion-forward? Or would you rather just wear normal, neutral styles that make you look like what you’re about to become ... a mom.

A few more pics of Siriano looks after the jump. What do you think? [StyleFrizz]

Naturally, just because you’re about to be a mom doesn’t necessarily mean you want to look like one.  But have you had a chance—or a reason for that matter—to look at the maternity clothes options out there? You’ll realize quickly that chic maternity picks are just as hard to come by as plus-sized ones can be. Then Nicole Richie got pregnant! The socialite-turned-reality-star-turned-designer/model has upped the ante for pregnant fashionistas everywhere by designing and starring as the face of her first maternity line, which will be sold at A Pea in the Pod stores. In an interview with People, the pregnant mom (her first child, Harlow, is 19 months old) said carrying a child can totally derail your style. More looks, after the jump!

A lot of brides have already got something old, something borrowed, and something blue, but now they’ve really got something new—baby bumps!  According to the Daily Mail U.K., there was a sudden rise in maternity bridal dress sales to satisfy the estimated 20,000 brides in Britain who were with child on their big day last year. That number accounts for a record 10% of women under 45 who are tying the knot for the first time! Here in the States, one in six brides is preggers—just like Jennifer Garner and Jessica Alba when they married their spouses. And these gals are not just waddling down the aisle on their wedding day wearing a muumuu; they’re going for traditional white gowns with big price tags.
