Is Kim Kardashian the Worst-Dressed Pregnant Celeb Ever?

Friday, March 8th by

"Bring me my all-white asymmetrical ringleader outfit, because I want to look my best," said no pregnant woman ever.

"Oh the white one's dirty? No matter, I have one in black as well. The jacket opens in the perfect place for my chub to poke through!"

"I sincerely regret coming here to this nightclub in Ivory Coast, but not as much as I regret this peplum."

"Scratch that - THIS is the peplum I regret."

"I've always suspected that pregnant ladies secretly wanted to look fluffier."

"The world obviously wants to see my baby bump, so now's as good a time as any to start wearing things that are see-through."

"File under 'Most Unflattering Print Ever.' At least now I know."

Pregnancy. It makes you barfy, chunky, and bloated, but the one shining ray of hope is that you get to wear stretchy pants without fear of reprisal, at least for a few months.

For many women, the ability to dress as comfy as they wanna be is the greatest thing about being knocked up; the thing that makes it all worthwhile. (Besides, you know, the baby.) And even the ones who don’t need to be comfortable—Heidi Klum, Gisele, Beyonce—manage to make it through while at least looking moderately dignified. But not Kim Kardashian. Her curiously structured, buttoned-up, confining, and revealing personal maternity style is showing us all how NOT to do it.
