She must be blossoming fast! Pregnant Halle Berry wears billowing maternity frock as takes her daughter Nahla shopping

She announced her pregnancy earlier this year and has been relishing every second of it.

Proud of her growing belly, Halle Berry showcased her burgeoning bump in a clinging maxi dress as she stepped out in Malibu, California over the weekend.

On Monday, however, the 46-year-old actress slipped into full-on maternity frock to pick up her daughter Nahla from school in Los Angeles.

At first, the dress appeared to be just your average short-sleeved tunic frock, but as it got caught in the wind, it was clear that the piece was specially constructed for a mother-to-be.

As extra air flowed up the frock, the dress gave the illusion of a ready-to-pop baby bump.

Still showing a sense of style, the X-Men star sported a pair of bedazzled black sandals on her feet.

After picking up her little one, the two made a shopping trip to Bel Bambini, a luxury baby boutique in West Hollywood.

Nahla, four, toted her adorable pink and red lunch bag, resembling a house.

Later, she got to be in charge of her own mini shopping cart that she gladly filled to the brim with toys and clothes.

On Sunday, the actress also looked positively radiant in Malibu as she kept a protective hand on her growing bump while she and fiancé Olivier Martinez joined some friends for lunch.

Wearing a charcoal grey dress, Halle's growing curves were clear to see beneath the figure-hugging material.

Halle teamed her maxi dress with flip flops and sunglasses as she and Olivier dined at Geoffrey's restaurant.

Chatting to her dining companions after the meal, Halle beamed with delight as she enjoyed the conversation, keeping one hand on her stomach the entire time.

Olivier also looked in good spirits as he kept a watchful eye on his fiancée.

Earlier this month, Halle admitted that conceiving a baby with Martinez was a 'miracle'.

She told ET Online: 'I'm thinking that this is a miracle. I feel really happy. It's one of the best things that happened in my life, for sure.'

The baby, a boy, will be the first for 47-year-old French actor Olivier, and the second for Halle, who is already mother to five-year-old Nahla with ex Gabriel Aubry.

Following Halle's pregnancy announcement in April, a source close to Gabriel revealed that the actor is thrilled for his ex - namely because his daughter is thrilled about having a sibling.

The source said at the time: 'Gabriel knew that Halle had been trying to get pregnant for a very long time, and Nahla is very excited to become a big sister.

'Seeing Nahla happy is all that matters to Gabriel.'

The preoccupation with Olivier's jeans and clothes in general, is so funny. I have never heard so much made about a few pair of blue jeans. He doesn't care or have a problem, he seems comfortable in his own skin. If your sartorial sensibilities are so outraged by Olivier clothes, you need to learn to get over it. I dont see Gabriel Aubry dressing any better than any other man, father, guy just going about his everyday business. Jeans t-shirt sneakers or boots. I guess when you hate someone you tend to be petty, and always knit pick at that person more. You all could start fund and send him a care package of clothes courtesy of DM.

Seeing Nahla happy is NOT all that matters to Gabriel Aubry. Having Halle support him in style for eternity is what REALLY matters to Gabriel. Maria, Spain, 21/5/2013 09:02. Maria you hit the nail right on the head! - Heilige Bimbam , London, United Kingdom, 21/5/2013 12:55 What are you basing this on? The court system obviously disagrees with you both - they didn't give him joint custody and maintenance because of tabloid opinion.There were numerous investigations carried out. If money was the most important thing to him then I'm pretty sure Halle Berry would have proved this and used it against him in court when she applied for sole custody. If it were true I doubt the court would have given the joint custody ruling. Maintenance was awarded to keep the child's lifestyle equal with both parents. This happens all the time in custody cases and rightly so. It's not something new.

Due to her age, I'm sure she didn't announce her pregnancy until after 20 weeks. I also don't like the way she treated her ex throughout the custody battle, I can't warm to her at all. >>>>>>>>> Lornie, deal with it... then again it is not your business.

I know it's a very superficial observation, but Halle's maternity wear has been fabulous,she never looks bad! She has kept in amazing shape too

Does Oliver not own any other clothes? He seems to be in the same outfit day in day out. And what does he do these days? Just get in pictures with Halle but no real fee earner work?
