As every woman knows, the red carpet is the place to spot the latest fashion must-haves, but this year it seemed the trend was maternity couture!

The 80th Annual Academy Awards ceremony took place last night, and the first mama-to-be we saw on the red carpet was actress and Oscar presenter Jessica Alba, who looked absolutely fabulous in her wine-colored Marchesa dress and Cartier jewels.

Although she wasn't nominated this year, Nicole Kidman was also in attendance on the arm of proud papa-to-be, singer Keith Urban. She was glowing in Balenciaga and a L'Wren Scott necklace.

Cate Blanchet, my personal favorite of the three, waltzed down the red carpet in a lovely purple dress by Dries van Noten. She is expecting her third baby and looks great for being seven months along!

Who was your favorite prego celeb at the Oscars this year?
