One word: coats.

With HRH The Duchess of Cambridge pregnant again, citizens of the world – or perhaps just royal-obsessed Americans – are eagerly awaiting the first glimpse of another baby bump. Kate Middleton never disappoints when it comes to style, but throughout both her previous pregnancies, she rocked maternity style like only a royal can – in a myriad of sophisticated coats. In anticipation of the fashion-filled nine months ahead, we are counting down the 10 best royal maternity coat looks.

10. Pretty in Pink

Hot pink and black can very easily look like a cosmetics commercial circa 2002, but Kate makes it look sleek and modern.

9. We’re Green with Envy

The only thing people were watching at the St. Patrick’s Day parade was this dark green ensemble.

8. True Blue

There’s no denying blue is the Duchess’ best color, and her dainty sapphire earrings make the perfect accessories.

7. White Hot Mama

This gorgeous white coat may hide her bump well, but there’s no hiding Kate’s glow.

6. Baby Blue

This pale blue coat is all about the details, from the pockets to the buttons. Two thumbs way up.

5. Good Luck Charm

Another stunning St. Patrick’s Day look, complete with picture-perfect black hat.

4. Peachy Keen

Nothing is more royal than soft pastels and fancy hats. We love everything about this.

3. Royal Navy Blue

William may be the one wearing the medals, but Kate takes home the honors for best-dressed in this navy number.

2. Balcony Beauty

Buckingham Palace has never looked so good.

1. Pastel Perfection

HRH looks absolutely radiant in this mint green maternity coat. The castle in the background doesn’t hurt, either.

Bonus: The Original

Whether Kate was inspired by Princess Diana or history is simply repeating itself, we love the style connection between past and present.
