Blooming Myleene looks just swell

Expectant mother-to-be Myleene Klass has ditched her swimsuits for more modest attire - but still manages to look swell.

Seated at a piano in a diaphanous white empire-line dress, the classically trained pianist, now in her eighth month of pregnancy, launched her new album 'Myleene's Music for Romance', at a London restaurant.

Clearly she hasn't lost her knack for picking a showstopping outfit, and it looks like she is keen to pass on her fashion knowledge to her unborn daughter.

She told Lorraine Kelly on LK Today: "I've bought her so many clothes that she's got her own clothes rail!

"When I found out I was having a baby girl, I thought I would make her really funky wearing little dungarees, but I've gone the other way, and have bought her literally every girly thing I could find!"

Now, the former pop star has become the latest celebrity to imitate Demi Moore's famous nude pose in the late stages of pregnancy.

Looking swell: Myleene Klass the cover girl

The twenty-nine year old who was a swimwear-clad contestant on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!, appears naked save an engagement ring and gold butterfly-design necklace on the cover of the latest edition of Glamour magazine.

In the accompanying interview Myleene, the new face of Marks & Spencer, describes how she and fiance Graham Quinn - a former bodyguard from her Hear'Say days - bought little pink outfits for the baby.

She said: "I let Graham choose the first one because I thought it was an important bonding step - his daughter's first outfit."

Demi Moore caused outrage among religious groups when she first posed naked and heavily pregnant for the August 1991 cover of Vanity Fair.

Klass looking classy

The actress, then 29, was seven months pregnant with her second child, Scout LaRue, by then husband Bruce Willis. The cover, shot by Annie Leibovitz, proved so controversial that the magazine was packaged in a plain brown paper in stores across America's Midwest.
