The Academy Awards are about recognizing the year's best and brightest in the film-making industry. Let's be honest, though: Most of us tune in for the fashion.

If you did happen to catch the red carpet portion of last night's Oscars festivities, it definitely did not disappoint. Some years it feels like a sea of black satin, but this time around the celebrity set made a statement with eye-catching colors and textures.

There were so many jaw-dropping gowns to fall in love with, including the ones chosen by a few expectant moms in attendance. Emily Blunt, Chrissy Teigen and Anne Hathaway all looked positively stunning, proving yet again that pregnancy is drop dead gorgeous.

Take a look at these dresses and tell us which one you like best.

Emily Blunt, who is expecting her second child with her husband John Krasinski, walked the red carpet solo, and was also a presenter later on in the evening. She was pretty in pink, wearing a rose-hued, embellished Prada gown.

Model mom-to-be Chrissy Teigen has been having fun dressing up her bump throughout her pregnancy, and last night was of course no exception. Accompanying her husband John Legend to the big event, Chrissy was stunning in an intricately detailed red Marchesa dress that showed off her beautiful pregnancy curves. She later changed into a black sequin gown before hitting the Vanity Fair Oscars party.

While we didn't see Oscar-winner Anne Hathaway on the red carpet, she also put in an appearance at the VF event. Her due date fast approaching, the always lovely star stole the spotlight in a black strapless dress with a sheer, studded overlay.

It's hard to pick a favorite, but I think my vote goes to Chrissy's Marchesa gown. It fit her perfectly - perhaps because it looks like she may have been sewn into it! - and was just so glamorous.

The Oscars have been home to many stunning maternity looks over the years. From Jessica Alba to Cate Blanchett, here is a round-up of the most memorable ones ever.
