Let's be honest, Kim Kardashian hasn't had the easiest ride from fashion critics when it comes to her maternity style.
And although we love the reality star we have to agree that some of her bump outfits have been a little bit hit and miss. A few examples being the leather skirt she recently squeezed into and the peplum trousers she opted for earlier this year.
However, it now seems she's found an unlikely fashion Fairy Godmother in the form of Bette Midler.
According to The Sun, the 67 singer decided to send a not to subtle hint to Kim over Twitter claiming: “I know it’s so last week, but @KimKardashian would look adorable in the maternity clothes they have just on my block!! I buy them myself!!”
And it seems Kim may have taken up the offer, Tweeting back that the pair should hit the shops together.
We're not sure if it will ever happen but we'd love to see what styles she'd be channelling if the pair ever got together.
Do you agree that Kim needs a little bit of maternity fashion advice or do you like her unique style?

Maternity fashion tips for plus-size and curvy women - Isabella Oliver tells us how to stay stylish and comfortable
Although we're still in our new born stages, we've had a great amount of support from mums-to-be, with many asking us for specific advice when it comes to their maternity style.
Some of the most common questions we've had are from plus-size women who are afraid that some outfits aimed at showing off their bump will also show off their curves. However, they don't want to be left with a choice of tent-like creations either.
We like to help our readers as much as we can so we got in touch with Baukjen de Swaan Arons, the Founder of Isabella Oliver, who was perfectly placed to give advice on this topic.
"It is completely natural to gain a little weight during pregnancy and we have designed our clothes to allow for that," she told us.
"It can be tempting to go up a few sizes, but although the extra fabric will fit over your bump, it will also swamp the other parts of your body and create an unflattering look.
"Isabella Oliver uses special design techniques to create flattering pieces that celebrate your bump whilst offering coverage where you need it."
Baukjen pointed out that going for a ruched design would create soft pleats across your bump resulting in a fitted look with extra fabric that can be adjusted as your body changes shape.
Wrap tops and wrap dresses can also be adjusted with as much or as little fabric as your bump needs.
"Cinch these styles at the waist, accent your cleavage and allow the rest of the fabric to drape effortlessly over your curves," Baukjen advises.
When it comes to cuts, Baukjen recommends picking maternity clothes that make the most of your best features, show off your neckline, shoulders and décolletage.
The company's wrap designs are particularly great for this as they flatter your curves.
"Finally, go for pieces with special design features that draw attention to the areas of your body you feel more confident about," Baukjen advises.
The company has a gorgeous range of wrap and ruched pieces to choose from.
And if you order a jersey dress before midnight you'll also receive 30 percent off in the company's flash sale.
