7 Daring Maternity Looks We Never Saw Coming

When you're as stylish as Zoe Saldana, the expectation is that we'll be blown away with every red carpet arrival. And the anticipation was never so high as over the last week, while we waited to see what shape her maternity style would take.

While the initial vibe seems to be romantic — with a ruffled Valentino gown and airy Chloé dress in the repertoire — if Zoe has taught us anything, it's that she's determined to keep us on our toes with fashion-forward choices. Well, should she need any motivation, we can think of a few inspirational stars who kept totally on trend despite their growing bumps. Crop tops, jumpsuits, and cutouts? Why should the women who are dressing for one have all the fun?

Cutouts

Stacy Keibler was so into the cutout trend that she just kept right on wearing the style along with her baby bump. Bonus: these panels are bound to keep you cool in the Summer months.

Head-to-toe florals can be tricky for any woman to pull off, unless you're Kim Kardashian. The pregnant star threw caution to the wind at the 2013 Met Gala in Givenchy's floral explosion.

If you've got it, flaunt it — and that's exactly what Elsa Pataky did at this year's Academy Awards in a stomach-baring, jeweled gown.

Sheer panels and horizontal stripes are no match for a mom-to-be determined to wear them, like Eva Amurri Martino.

Lake Bell had no interest in slowing down her jumpsuit game when she arrived at this year's Vanity Fair Tribeca Film Festival bash (we'll let you make your own assumptions about how difficult trips to the ladies' room in this getup could be).

The boys can't borrow the privilege of carrying a child, but that doesn't mean their styles are off limits to stylish pregnant women like Ciara.
