The 31-year-old TV star and fashion designer insisted on looking chic even as her baby bump grew ... and grew ... and grew. Check out her looks over the last nine months.
Just as the whispers of Jessica Simpson's pregnancy started back in early October, she made sure to keep covered up, as she did here with a blazer at an appearance in New Orleans. But there was no hiding that baby glow! (10/8/2011)
Mum was the word when Jessica stepped out in a loose-fitting cape with her sister Ashlee in NYC just a week before she made her announcement. (10/24/2011)
After weeks of keeping quiet, Jessica finally announced her baby secret … kind of. On Halloween, she tweeted a photo of herself in costume. “It’s true,” she wrote. “I’m going to be a mummy.” Wink, wink. (10/31/2011)
Jessica was still rocking mini-dresses and heels in December when she and Eric stopped by Dylan's Candy Bar in New York City. (12/1/2012)
Ashlee's 3-year-old son Bronx got an eyeful of Aunt Jessica’s baby bosom when she gave him a lift as they exited their NYC hotel on December 1. (12/1/2011)
At the end of last year, the mom-to-be was still OK to travel and left New York for a trip to Toronto with her sister and nephew to launch her "Jessica Simpson Girls" fashion line at Canadian department store The Bay. Proving she intended on having a fashionable pregnancy, the designer donned a matching floppy hat and frock, wool cardigan and knee-high boots. (12/3/2012)
Despite her growing size, Jessica still slipped her swollen feet into towering heels, as she did here with a bright orange pair (to go with a pea soup-colored dress) during a baby shopping spree in Los Angeles. (2/17/2012)
In January, Jessica dressed her bump in a sequined black mini to promote her NBC show, “Fashion Star," which also features Nicole Richie and John Varvatos as judges. (1/8/2012)
Jess dared to bare her bump on the April cover of Elle. She says she never felt so comfortable with her body, despite her weight gain. “I'm not the person you see photographed in a bikini on a beach,” she told Parade afterwards. “For some reason, being pregnant, it's so easy for me. I feel so comfortable in my skin … It's just really a celebratory moment for me.”
She was seven months pregnant at the time, but Jessica wasn’t about to let her ginormous baby bump stop her from having some fun in the sun. She donned a bikini top and long tie-dye swimsuit cover-up and joined her sister Ashlee, mom Tina, and nephew Bronx, for a few non-alcoholic drinks poolside at the Beverly Hills Hotel in early March.(3/11/2012)
Though the "Fashion Star" mentor was still nearly two months away from giving birth when she visited “The Ellen DeGeneres” show in March, she had to explain that she wasn’t due any day now … despite what everyone thought. Simpson, dressed in a flowy cream dress with a button-down sweater over it, told Ellen she had "some weeks" until the big day. When Ellen didn't believe her, the 31-year-old said, "I really do. It’s not like tomorrow," to which Ellen responded: "It looks like it’s tomorrow." Later, a very similar conversation took place with Jay Leno when the mom-to-be hit "The Tonight Show." Poor Jess!
Jessica rocked a little black dress and animal-print blazer for her appearance on “The Tonight Show.” During the interview with Jay Leno, the mom-to-be talked about her craving of the moment: slutty brownies, a three-layer treat that includes cookie dough and Oreo cookies. (3/12/2012)
Although pregnant with a girl, Jess shunned wearing pink to her March 18 baby shower and instead opted for a baby blue snakeskin-printed dress with ruffles for the Charlotte’s Web-themed celebration. (3/18/2012)
No matter the weather, a pregnant woman has to satisfy her cravings! Jessica and her fiancé braved wind and rain at the end of March to pick up some barbeque in Los Angeles after they returned from a weekend getaway in Palm Springs … maybe that explains her sundress and flip flops! (3/25/2012)
