So long, maternity mumus. These stunning pregnancy looks that are guaranteed to turn heads.

It's been a memorable week for maternity style, with three very famous moms-to-be showing off the sexier side of pregnancy. The trio chose very different red carpet looks, but each of them looked drop dead gorgeous.

First up is the always stylish Blake Lively, who was joined at the Angel Ball in NYC on Monday by her husband Ryan Reynolds. The Gossip Girl star framed her growing bump in a pale yellow Gucci dress complete with a glittering, plunging neckline.

Singer Alicia Keys and her husband Swizz Beatz, who are expecting their second child, put in an appearance at the same event. The 'No One' crooner opted for a more subdued look, a bold, chunky necklace adding a touch of drama to her draping, floor-length black gown.

Finally, we have Kate Middleton. After enduring weeks at home suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, the Duchess of Cambridge looked beautiful on her two official royal outings yesterday: She traded in the Alexander McQueen coat she wore during a morning appearance for a lovely, sky blue dress by one of her prefered designers, Jenny Packham, at a black tie event at the Natural History Museum.

They all look incredible, no? The three looks are so different, it's hard to choose a favorite. I think my vote would have to go to Blake Lively, though. The buttery color of the dress is just gorgeous, and I love that she went with such a bold, sexy neckline.

My pregnancy didn't involve too many red carpets, so my maternity wardrobe revolved around a lone pair of stretchy jeans and a few extra long T-shirts. I'm sure these ladies sometimes long for a cozy robe or their husbands' PJ pants, but it must be such fun to have the opportunity - not to mention the budget - to go utterly glam every once in a while.
