With just weeks to go until the Royal baby’s  arrival, the expectant Duchess of Cambridge is nowhere to  be seen.

Kate Middleton’s public  appearance on June 15 at Trooping the  Colour was said to be her last until the baby arrives- leaving royal fashion  fans bereft of bump sightings.

So before the speculation over what the Royal  baby will wear sets in, we look back on the last nine months to salute Kate  Middleton’s pregnancy style.

The ever-tasteful Duchess of Cambridge is  envied the world over for her slim figure and glossy locks, but now there’s a  new asset to add to her credentials – surely hers is the best-dressed baby bump  of all…

7 weeks: Nov 27, 2012 – Her first public outing since  falling pregnant and it seems Kate is trying to distract guests at the Natural  History Museum from the rumours with a new fringe, lurid £1,400 Mulberry dress  and Jimmy Choo pumps £435

7 weeks: Nov 28, 2012 – Kate’s clearly already got ‘baby  brain’, as she steps out at Cambridge University with the belt on her £980  MaxMara ‘Belli’ coat  upside down. She’s also wearing a Max Mara Studio  leopard print dress, £245, Aquatalia ‘Ruby Dry’ boots, £245, and Kiki McDonough  white topaz and diamond earrings, £695.

8 weeks: Dec 6, 2012 –  Now the secret is out, she  is unable to slip out of hospital unnoticed, so we see her in a rare pair of  flats, Russell & Bromley’s Pin Up boots, £295, and a classic check Diane von  Furstenberg coat, £570.

10 weeks: Dec 16, 2012 – Ten weeks in and Kate’s  maternity wardrobe hits  a high in Alexander McQueen for the BBC Sports  Personality of the Year Awards. The thigh-high slit and peplum on this £2,520  gown is perfect for hiding a barely-there bump. She wears Jimmy Choo Cosmic  pumps, £435, Kiki McDonough green amethyst earrings, £2,600, and an Asprey  button pendant, £2,800.

13 weeks: January 11, 2013 – As she views her official  portrait unveiled at the National Portrait Gallery, the first signs of a bump  are showing, which the Duchess discreetly disguises with a wide, black band  layered over her recycled Whistles Sophie Rae dress, £85, and Episode black  courts, £60.

19 weeks: February 19 – This £298 MaxMara dress is ideal  in her fourth month of pregnancy. The V-neck is flattering on her larger bust  and the wrap pulls her in at the waist which starts  to widen in  the  second trimester.

20 weeks: March 2 – In Switzerland, Kate keeps cosy in  the snow in her LK Bennett Darwin coat, £745, and £175 Mukluk snow boots. She’s  added a Bill Brown cotton tote, £30, and Givenchy sunglasses, £159.

20 weeks: March 2 With her bump under wraps in a blush  coat, fur stole and £245 MaxMara dress, Kate braved the cold for a Swiss  wedding. She also wears a Lock & Co Betty Boop hat, £245, Emmy suede courts,  £400, and clutch, £230, with Annoushka pearl  and diamond earrings,  £1,090.

20 weeks: March 3 – Sporting  Kiki McDonough  diamond earrings, £695, and clutching a £2,300 Temperley coat, Kate strides  across the snowy  slopes in Arosa, Switzerland

21 weeks: March 5 – During the visit to Grimsby, both  the £369 Hobbs Celeste coat and Great Plains floral dress, £75, sell out in  under an hour – a personal best for the ‘Kate Effect!’

22 weeks: March 15 – Kate is prudently recycling her old  coats rather than buying maternity wear for Cheltenham Races. A tailor has moved  the buttons for her growing figure on this Joseph coat, £790. She also wears  Kiki McDonough citrine diamond earrings, £1,200, Lock & Co Betty Boop hat,  £245, Stuart Weitzman Zipkin boots, £409,  Emmy Natasha clutch bag, £230,  and Cornelia James wool bow  gloves, £52

22 weeks: March 17 – Again, full marks to the Duchess  for re-using her pre-pregnancy wardrobe rather than spending before she has to.  Here she wears a £1,170 Emilia Wickstead dress coat for St Patrick’s Day with a  hat by Sylvia Fletcher for Lock & Co, £285

23 weeks: March 19 – Following the revelation that Kate  had a shopping spree at Topshop, she visits a children’s charity in their £46  Peter Pan collar dress. She also wears a Goat ‘Redgrave’ coat, £560, and  Annoushka pearl and diamond earrings, £1,090

23 weeks: March 20 – Kate tops up her Oyster card  at  Baker Street Tube station for the  150th anniversary  of  London Underground and accessorises her By Malene Birger coat, £450, with a  Whiteley hat, £119

24 weeks: March 22 – The Duchess opts for a pair of Le  Chameau ‘Chasseur’ wellies, £299, as she visits the icy Lake District to spend  the day as a Scout — note the official neckerchief

25 weeks: April 4 – Reaching her sixth month of  pregnancy, on a Royal visit to Glasgow, Kate wears this £425 tartan Moloh coat.  All eyes are on the busy pattern, and her bump fades into the  background

25 weeks: April 5 – Another day, another bump-disguising  outfit. For a Scottish trip she chose a £615 scarlet Armani coat, Kiki McDonough  diamond and green amethyst earrings, £1,900, Aquatella ‘Hi and Dry’ boots, £395,  and Corneila James gloves, £52

27 weeks: April 21 – At the Scouts Parade at Windsor  Castle, Kate’s bump is beginning to show – but she swathes it in a short coat,  showing legs instead. It’s a shame- this £1,750 Mulberry dress coat looks clunky  with its ocersized lapels and large floral buttons

28 weeks: April 23 – Launching a counselling programme  in Manchester, Kate disguises her growing bump with this optical illusion Erdem  dress, £1,065, along with a Russell & Bromley clutch, £245, and Prada pumps,  £450

28 weeks: April 24 – The Duchess continued a busy week  with an evening visit to the Art Room at the National Portrait Gallery wearing a  flattering Fifties-style Emilia Wickstead frock, £1,450, with Rupert Sanderson  grey suede pumps, £450, and Kiki McDonough diamond and green amethyst earrings,  £1,900

28 weeks: April 26 – Kate wows the crowds at Warner Bros  Studios with  another maternity chic hit, this time a £38 Topshop floaty  polka-dot  dress, teamed with a black Ralph Lauren jacket, £350

30 weeks: April 29 – On her second wedding anniversary  Kate is pretty in a Tara Jarmon peach coat, £340, and a frock by her own  dressmaker.  Visiting Naomi House Children’s Hospice, she also wears LK Bennett  Sledge courts, £195, and holds their Avona clutch, £19

32 weeks: May 22 – There is still no sign of drab  maternity wear as Kate steps out at a Buckingham Palace garden party in a  sunshine yellow Emilia Wickstead Marella coat, £1,285, and towering £165 Russell & Bromley heels, with their 5th Ave clutch., £185 and a Jane Corbett hat,  £450

33 weeks: June 4 – Kate’s body may be changing but her  sense of style stays the same — she chooses an almost identical look at the 60th  Anniversary of The Queen’s Coronation to that which she sported at the  Diamond Jubilee. A Jenny Packham lace dress, £1,900, and £3,000 coat replaces  last year’s McQueen — and she coordinates with the same £910 Jane Taylor  hat

34 weeks: June 4 – Out shopping, thrifty Kate strikes  again in a £17.50 Asos maternity dress and her favourite summertime Pied a Terre  wedges, £80

35 weeks: June 13 – The Duchess wears Dalmatian for her  final solo engagement, at the Royal Princess Cruise Ship naming ceremony. She  chooses this striking £169 statement print coat from High Street store Hobbs,  paired with classic black heels and a fascinator

35 weeks: June 15 – Kate makes her last public  appearance before the baby arrives at Trooping the Colour, in a £2,000 coat and  £830 clutch by Alexander McQueen, a Jane Corbett hat, £500, and Annoushka  earrings, £1,090
