posted in CelebritiesReality star Kim Kardashian is used to turning heads, but the expectant mom's maternity style really made jaws drop when she stepped out in New York City this past weekend.
Kim, who is expecting baby #2 - a boy - with her husband Kanye West in December, showed off her growing bump in a barely-there leather mini skirt and torn T-shirt, finishing off the look with a pair of teetering, thigh-high black boots (click here to see it!). Something tells me she didn't find this particular outfit on the rack at Motherhood Maternity.
The 34-year-old's approach to maternity wear throughout her second pregnancy has been confusing to say the least. She seems partial toward looks that are very tight or very sheer - and wildly, utterly uncomfortable. It's that last part that I really don't get.
Take a look at some of Kim's other outfits...
As any woman who's been pregnant knows, you reach a point where comfort pretty much goes out the window. Your feet swell, your back aches, it feels as though a bowling ball is resting permanently on your bladder. And every once in a while your baby delivers a surprisingly powerful roundhouse to your rib cage. In other words, it's tough enough without squeezing your ballooning body into leather minis and sky-high heels.
Kim has confessed in the past that she struggles to dress herself while pregnant. She shoves her feet into footwear that looks downright painful because, simply put, "I happen to hate the way I look in flats." Asked for tips on maternity style, she responded, "If you can do it, hide. Never leave the house... Wear a huge blanket."
Kim Kardashian is beautiful, no question, and she's clearly trying to put her own sexy spin on maternity wear. I don't blame her: I've had it up to here with empire-waist tunics and pastel floral patterns myself. But pregnant or not, looking good is largely down to confidence and the thing is, Kim often looks like she's not quite sure about what she's got on. Like she's secretly longing for a pair of leggings and a stretchy T.
She's still got three long months until that baby is due, so here's hoping she settles into a maternity style that makes her feel every bit as beautiful as she should.
