Kim Kardashian shows off baby bump in leather trim Yves Saint Laurent LBD

Her maternity style has been notoriously hit and miss, but Kim Kardashian got it right over the weekend when she turned up in New York showing off her bump in a little black dress.

The reality star looked stunning in a black sleeved Yves Saint Laurent frock with leather detailing on the neckline as she stepped out to support boyfriend Kanye at the Rockefeller Centre, where he was performing.

We think the dress is a great hit for Kim who recently admitted to Grazia that her body confidence had fallen and she was resorting to anything that fitted and was comfortable for her growing figure.

We just hope that this is a style she keeps to.

Yay or Nay? Kim Kardashian's floral custom Givenchy gown by Riccardo Tisci at the Met Ball

After a couple of weeks of stylishly showing off her baby bump Kim Kardashian's maternity style took a step back at the Met Ball.

The reality star turned heads at the punk themed event in a bold, garish floral turtleneck frock with a split and visibly attached sleeves.

She teamed up the custom jersey Givenchy gown by Riccardo Tisci with gold sandals.

Apparently the sleeves were a last minute add-on after Kim's stylist advised her to cover her arms, which had grown a little during her pregnancy.
 
And while we don't mind the body hugging style of this frock, we just think the pattern, coupled with her bump is all a little bit too much. Sorry Kim.

Show off your bump in one of this season's  hottest trends with a pair of printed trousers.

The summer 2013 catwalks were gleaming with this style, with the likes of Peter Pilotto, Matthew Williamson, Moschino Cheap and Chic and House of Holland just a handful of designers showcasing this look.

Florals, bold block prints, monochrome geometrics, stripes and zig zags are just some of the prints that have filtered into the highstreet  and maternity world with Kim Kardashian and Peaches Geldof spotted showing off their bumps in a pair of printed trousers or leggings.

Top five maternity bodycon dresses as seen on Kim Kardashian and Rochelle Humes

The bodycon shape has been a hot trend for a good few years now, and just because you're pregnant it doesn't mean you have to turn your back on this look.

Over the past few months celebrity yummy mummies-to-be such as Rochelle Humes and Kim Kardashian have shown how to wear this trend to show off their bump in style.

The great thing about a bodycon silhouette is that it sits in all the right places and shows off your new found curves, as well as your bump. And because many of the frocks available on the highstreet are stretchy, you don't have to necessarily pick a maternity number here.

We advise buying the next size up and opting for a slightly longer hem to ensure there's enough fabric to accommodate your bump without being too short.

Opt for bold patterns, which will channel this season's trends, while also looking great on that growing bump and team up with a pair of flat pumps or sandals.

If you're buying from a maternity range then opting for an above the knee hemline will show off those pins and balance out your bump.

Below is our pick of maternity and non-maternity bodycon frocks on the virtual highstreet.

We love, love, love this printed bodycon number, £30, Asos

Opting for a non-maternity frock in the next size up means you can wear exactly what you like. We heart this patterned style from Boohoo, £15,

Another non-maternity lovely, this tie dye number is perfect for flattering that bump. River Island, £25.

Maternity Plain Bodycon Dress, £28, Topshop

Stripe Bodycon dress, Next, £45

Maternity monochrome fashion for Spring/Summer 2013

Moschino Spring/Summer 2013

Monochrome made a huge style stance on this season's catwalks, showing that sometimes things really do look better in black and white.

Alexander Wang, Moschino, Marc Jacobs and Diane von Furstenberg, were just some of the designers to show off the 60s inspired trend, while over in the celebrity maternity fashion camp Kim Kardashian did her bit for the look stepping out in a cute black and white print shift dress. 

Thankfully this trend can interpreted to be as bold or as simple as you like, making it perfect for that maternity wardrobe.

Opt for graphic prints to give a big nod to the swinging 60s, with a checked print or bold stripes for a night out, while simple stark contrast blocking is a great way to channel this trend into the daytime - team up that must have black maternity dress with a simple white scarf and you're all set to go.

 See the gallery below on how to wear the trend.

Go for graphic prints to really make a stand. We think this 60s inspired skirt, £18,  from Asos is great

Turn  that staple black maternity dress, like this one £16.99, New Look, into hot monochrome property by simply adding a white scarf.

White scarf, £6 Matalan

This spot blouse, £32 Mamas and Papas,  is a perfect way to channel the trend in the office, or teamed with black jeans for a night out

Really show off this trend and your bump with this gorge bodycon frock, £30, Asos
