The pregnancy fashions that will have you looking like Kate Middleton on the cheap.

We’re all envious of Kate Middleton’s on point maternity wear. Now you can do as the Duchess does.

While we’re excited to welcome the second royal baby (expected in April), we’re also going to miss Kate Middleton’s impeccable maternity style afterward. Luckily for stylish mamas-to-be, there are plenty of ways to copy her look. Here are five options to get the duchess’s best maternity styles — from exact replicas to wallet-friendly alternatives — on a budget.

1. Red shift dress.

Duchess Kate visits the East Anglias Children's Hospices in Norwich, eastern England on Nov. 25, 2014.

For an English charity event, the duchess turned heads in a simple yet eye-catching red shift dress. Stick with a similarly bright hue in this pleat-back polyester number that's on sale for a scant $22!

2. Floral print dress.

Duchess Kate visits Cape Hill Children's Centre on Feb. 18.

Visiting a new children's hospice center, the duchess opted for a feminine, floral look. The dark pattern of this affordable wrap dress mimics her not-too-cutesy pregnancy look.
