It’s been a decade since The Carousel celebrated the glamour of motherhood with our Celebrity Bump Awards. Back in 2015, Kate, Mila, Kourtney, Hayden, Molly, and Blake redefined maternity style — blending red-carpet sophistication with a radiant, real-life glow. As we mark ten years since that unforgettable feature, we revisit the women who made pregnancy fashion iconic.
Most Regal Bump Award: Kate, The Duchess of Cambridge
Most Creative Bump Award: Hayden Panettiere
Just weeks before giving birthday to daughter Kaya (December 9, 2014), Hayden rocked this creative Halloween costume. Rowl!

Hayden’s husband, World Heavyweight Champion Wladimir Klitschko, posted this pic of new baby Kaya and Hayden with the hashtags #Kaya & #Hayden #klitschko #кличко #family
Most Photogenic Bump Award: Kourtney Kardashian
Kourt’s cute as a button bump wins the most photographed award, but then again, it was baby number three, so Kourtney’s well accustomed to being snapped. Some of our fave images where of Kourtney where of her pregnancy reveal, wearing a gold bikini with new bump and little Penelope, her 2-year-old daughter. And of course the DuJour Magazine cover and photoshoot. Kourtney welcomed her third child, son Reign, in December 2014.

Coolest Bump Award: Mila Kunis
Mila Kunis and fiancé Ashton Kutcher were Hollywood’s coolest expecting parents for 2014, with the couple regularly snapped out and about at basketball games, shopping and just hanging out. The couple announced the arrival of their baby daughter, Wyatt Isabelle, who entered the world on October 1, via Mila’s Instagram account.

So grateful to know him. Ps. Thank you Amber for playing dress up with me #PreserveStyle Who can iSpy the @preserve_us pieces we borrowed?”
