All the style tips you need to dress your bump this festive season!

1. Sequins
You're probably already radiating with that beautiful pregnancy glow, so why not enhance it with a stunning metallic beaded number or festive sequin dress? It doesn't have to be an over-the-top gown; you can choose a more tailored or casual silhouette for your sequins (like the t-shirt sequin number above). Pair it with a pair of sleek earrings and you have a festive non-maternity maternity look that will no doubt have you feeling special (as you should) during the holidays!

2. Off-the-shoulder
The off-shoulder style diverts attention from other parts of your body that you might be a little more self-conscious of showing. It's a beautiful style for anyone, particularly if you're expecting, as it lets you show a hint of skin while still looking demure. Don't be afraid to venture out of neutral tones and have fun with colour; this style also works with a midi or shorter hemline, if you want to show a little leg action!

3. The LBD
Black is definitely the go-to colour for Christmas and New Parties world over - why should it be any different if you're expecting? This classic shade is flattering, slimming and fits almost every occasion, so you can rest assured you'll look and feel absolutely chic and comfortable.

4. The LWD
White might be a shade you shy away from - yes, even for those with svelte figures. However, the LWD is fast becoming the new LBD. It's fresh, chic, timeless and will complement your mommy-to-be maternity glow beautifully. If wearing the colour itself is already a brave enough style step for you, opt for a loose fit rather than a bodyon one, or throw on a coat over!

5. Layer, layer, layer
Layering should be every expecting mom's style hack. Throwing on a chic outerwear over a fitted dress or jeans and shirt combo is a great way to look put together, while letting you ease into your new pregnancy silhouette.

6. Sexy Siren in Red
There is no colour that screams festive quite like red does. Don't be intimidated to wear this shade during your festive parties. Opting for a sleek and tailored silhouette (above) is the key to pulling this off. Also, steer clear from the cliched red velvet party dress - it's not a flattering look.

7. Cosy Jumper + Skirt
If you're not up for wearing a dress for your family Christmas or New Year's parties, a chic jumper and skinny jeans or miniskirt ensemble is a great casual alternative. Accent the look with statement earrings and a festive clutch for a pop of colour on an otherwise neutral outfit palette!

8. Floral Bloom
We're not going to lie - we absolutely love a sunny, floral maternity look. Be a fresh, blooming vision at your holiday parties in a summery, floral-printed dress (like Blake Lively above). Opting for a v-neck cut elongates your neck for a flattering and subtle show of decollatage, and choose a flowy silhouette that feels comfortable and non-restrictive.

9. Fitting Bodycon Dress
There is perhaps no better way to wear your pregnancy proudly during your festive parties than to flaunt your curves in a flattering bodycon dress. It shows that you're absolutely comfortable in your body and are embracing every bit of this beautiful moment in your life. Going for a monochromatic palette helps, if you're feeling a little self-conscious about wearing something form-fitting.
