These days seems like every young celebrity is pregnant from Kate Middleton to Zoe Saldana to Blake Lively.  While they road test their baby bumps in the most fashion forward styles like printed coats and bright colors, they also give all moms-to-be some helpful lessons.

1. Bright colors denote happiness, so opt for fun, sunny colors.

2. An empire waist (aka high waisted) is most flattering, but opt for a short version if you don’t want to look like an extra in Sense and Sensibility.
